This was a great movie. I hope to see Funimation pick this up and do a theatrical release.

I wonder what FOX and Toei are thinking, not allowing this to be licensed for some kind of home-video or limited theatrical release in North America.

I mean, they've got to have at least some inkling of how popular DBZ is over here, right?

As long as DBZ-related movies and shows don't have dubs, they're not worth watching. Therefore, not interested. I'll wait for the dub.

The plot summary is inaccurate Anime hyper. It is a little bit different

Birus traveled to look for some warrior that he heard about in a vision during his long sleep, but it was not specifically for Son Goku.

It's probably licensed over here. Give an announcement some time. I'm pretty sure it'll come out next year. For Australia, I predict the Japanese film-festival screenings this year will be subtitled, but the theatrical release next year will be in English.

I'm confused. Did Madman license a English Subbed release for this or is it going to be dubbed? And if it's dubbed, is FUNimation dubbing it or is Madman themselves dubbing it?

Surely you mean they're not worth watching dubbed.

Being that the Japanese cast is massively talented, whereas many of the English cast only just recently got presentable.

Almost makes me wish it never gets dubbed, just so that everyone is forced to watch it with the better cast.

I really want FOX to dub the movie, just to prove how little it matters who actually dubs DBZ. I'm sure a FUNimation dub would be presentable and watchable, but that's all it would be.

Quite hilarious that some people will only watch this dubbed.
You can tell who are the early anime fans of the DBZ anime bubble! Laughing

Either way, FUNi will obviously have this, since Madman usually get all their materials from the US license holder.
They just haven't announced this yet.

I've tried to watch DBZ in Japanese a few times, but it's only ever been one or two episodes.

Better cast? Adult Goku sounding like a woman who smoked a cigar factory is better than him sounding like an man.

Typical elitist bell head who will praise ANYTHING in Japanese no matter how rotten it is.

Well, first off, the Japanese Goku is the way he was always intended to sound.

Second, nobody performs the role with as much warmth, sincerity, and charm as Masako Nozawa.

And third, Goku is one character in a cast of dozens in the show, so basing your view of the Japanese version on that one casting, albeit an important one, is rather narrow.

If you can't enjoy Nozawa's Goku, fine. It's pretty jarring to people who didn't start with the original DB program. But that's how he's supposed to be, so maybe you don't really like DBZ at all. Especially if you prefer the shrill, no-talent non-actors that fill the show's English cast and its horrible, inaccurate scripts.
