It's supposedly getting a North American release but it's been ages since I've heard anything else on that front.

The model kits are pretty fun to build. They're like gundams but unlike Gundam you don't need any special tools: you can push them off the sprue they come in and be done with them in an evening. Kinda hoping they bring the model kits too when it happens.

I just watched the new DBZ movie, Battle of Gods. The movie itself takes place four years after the end of the show and is the only movie to be considered canon, with original creator Akira Toriyama deeply involved.

Remember Dragon Ball Z? The terrible pace, the awful animation and the incredible violence? Ah, those were the days. And luckily the movie is extremely nostalgic as it suffers from exactly the same problems!

Despite involving a God of Destruction (voiced by the wonderful Koichi Yamadera) the movie is slow even at under 90 minutes in length, with most of the Z-Fighters reduced to near cameos in their movie. And even when the movie does finally focus on some semblance of a story, it's so convoluted it's basically pure nonsense.

Despite twenty years of technological advancements, the HD exposes that the animation here really isn't much better than what we got in the show. And most of the time what we got in the show was awful.

Sadly, the most violent nail in the coffin, is that the action sucks. At one point, at the highest point of excitement, Goku gets his first post Super Saiyan Three completely canon form, The Super Saiyan God. With this new found power he can take on The God of Destruction who has, up to this point, been defeating the Z-Fighters with a single finger, and given the title of the flick, I rubbed my hands together in eagerness. And then the fight was over. Yep.

Goku lost, The God of Destruction went home and that was it. Minus a fun little whiz around a few buildings the 'Battle of Gods' was utterly pathetic, and especially so given the kind of action this show is known for. It's a shame as well, as Lord Bills, is as quirky and hilarious as he is utterly badass as our God of Destruction, what a waste

I know! We saw a few models in a toy fair and then nothing at all, if handled well it could become a big hit on the USA.

I only have Perseus, but yeah the kits are great, and it would be awesome for them to get an international release.

I've only seen the Bills VS Goku fight online. I dig Bills as a villain in that he's not the typical Dragon Ball villain. He has a sophistication that I like about him.

That being said though…Toriyama sure knows how to throw his continuity out of whack because SSJ4 seems reaaaaaal pointless now.

Bills was awesome.

Super Saiyan Four is non canon, as the whole of GT was never adapted from the original manga. So thankfully you can just write that whole pile of shit off.

GT was a mess from the start. It started as them wanting a return to the original Dragonball, then people stopped watching and they made it a mess of DBZ Redux.

I'm probably the only person on the planet who actually likes GT.

It has its moments, most notably highlighting that despite his flaws Vegeta is a considerably better father than Goku.

Well I caught episode 2 of Wizard Barristers and…I did not expect a giant robot to show up in this series.

It suddenly gets all Pacific Rim half way through the episode:

It does get a little fan servicy at times but I really enjoyed the first two episodes overall.
