My list of worthwhile DB/Z movies, my definitive take on Broly (and Broly fans), and the usual sub vs dub palaver.

Episode 101, "Gohan’s the Teacher! Videl’s Introduction to Flight"
 

 

*****SPOILERS*****

 

 "Battle of Gods"

 

 

Wow, that looks, moves, and sounds fucking gorgeous. Guaranteed purchase from me when we get it over here. Unf. The only problem I have is that there's a weird glare, an over saturation of color, I think. It can be a little overwhelming.

 

 

Premise: Some God of Destruction awakens from a long sleep, discovers someone has defeated Freeza, and decides the universe needs balance (which I guess Freeza was providing by being a dick?) and challenges Goku. Despite the participation of Akira Toriyama himself in the development of this new movie, the same DBZ formula is likely to follow.

 

I wonder how Kaio got a new planet. The Kaioshins, perhaps? 

 

The first person to complain about Goku's voice, I shall stab that person in their very soul. (Though to be honest, the Kamehameha in the end isn't Nozawa's best work.)

VA for Son Goku, Son Gohan, Son Goten, Bardock, and Telluce!

#6: Masako Nozawa It's hard to imagine a voice talent who delivers with more warmth, charm, and sincerity than Masako Nozawa. Though she's basically well-known only for a single character (and his look-alikes), it's that one iconic role and equally iconic performance that makes her worthy of highlight. That role, for those of you in a cave for the past twenty four years, is Son Goku from Dragon Ball/Z/GT. 　 Nozawa has been acting since the age of 2. And at the age of 75, continues to deliver strong as the main hero of the animated version of Akira Toriyama's mega-hit manga, Dragon Ball. It was Toriyama himself that chose her back in the early days of the anime, later finding himself hearing her voice in the role when he was drawing.
