#gamingNEWS DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT - DAIMA - Adventure Through The Demon Realm DLC - Announcement Trailer

 Wait....WHAT??? DBZ Kakarot is still receiving DLC... and it's Dragon Ball DAIMA DLC???? Oh, I see "part 1", they're just gonna adapt the beginning of the new series...but...What?????

#Ad キリン メッツ CM 悟空

Ever imagined Dragon Ball via Jojo's aesthatic? Here's a fun commercial for ya... 

 Setso,setso,setso!

RIP Akira Toriyama

 Man, I didn't think the 2020s could get any worse...

Another legend has passed away.

RIP Akira Toriyama. The entire manga industry and the shonen genre wouldn't be what they are without him.

Here's the official statement from Bird Studios on twitter:

Please. Do yourself a favor. Grab one of his non-Dragon Ball books and read some Toriyama, to celebrate the legendary mangaka.

#AnimeNEWS “Dragon Ball DAIMA” Teaser Trailer / Fall 2024

 Dragon Ball Super is half-dead, half-converted into a series of films + the ongoing promo manga by Toyotaro. Some people on copium keep dreaming of a new season (hahahaha).

Anyways, meanwhile Toei announced the next/new Dragon Ball series, the long-rumored Dragon Ball DAIMA!

Check it out:

Behind the scenes, Toriyama even more in control, not only of the story and design but the actual art direction of the new show, which actually looks like Toriyama's current art style.

So far it's all pretty mysterious aside from the fact that 1- everyone is turned into kids and 2- it serves as a big anniversary special for the franchise. People claim it takes place between Buu and DBS. Other say after Broly/Super Hero. And finally some think this is the big DBGT retcon, including the space adventures, becoming a kid again. We'll see. Maybe everything like end up canon together, GT, Super and Daima. Toei surely doesn't care, why should you?

I hope the music is good. And please slow down on transformations, just playing with martial arts and choreography for a while.

#AnimeNEWS NEW Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Animated Teaser Trailer(DBS 2022 Movie)

 Dragon Ball is back... again. With an upcoming new feature film orchestrated by Akira Toriyama himself. 

We don't have much on the film besides the title, which implies a return to one of Toriyama's favorite tropes, the super (sentai) hero! Which has been going since forever in Dragon Ball (the Great Saiyaman,, Jaco, the Galactic Patrolmen, the Ginyu Force, etc.).

But we got a teaser, indicating a sort of CGi-style animation for this new film:

And some concept arts of what to expect:

#FightingNEWS Dragon Ball FighterZ - Season 3 Trailer - PS4/XB1/PC/SWITCH

Season 3 of Dragon Ball FighterZ begins on 26 February! And it promises a lot of changes to the core gameplay... but also some sweet new faces!



First up - yet another Goku! Ultra Instinct Goku! I'm kinda... mixed on this. He looks awesome... but.. you know.. another Goku. And second, we will get Kefla! The awesome saiyan fusion from DBS's final arc! LOVE IT! LOVE THEM! Loved the little bit with Caulifla and Kale. I kinda wish we also get them separated, to be honest.

Slightly ahead of schedule for EVO, thanks to a Valve/Steam leak, the announcement of more Street Fighter V DLC characters! All available right ahead! Fans wanted E.Honda for so long.. and we even got two more Final Fight guest, thanks Ono!



One of the big announcements of EVO was Harada announcing a major update for TEKKEN 7 as well as a new Season 3 that will include a bunch of changes, stages and characters. Starting with a fan much requested return and a newcomer for T7:

#E3news The big E3 2019 Recap post

Hey everyone.

This week marked the big E3 2019 even, in LA. You know what? I've been mostly offline this past week. So I finally decided to catch it all in one sitting. And boy, there's been quite a few great new announcements, tidbits, trailers and some occasional goofy and cringe moments in what was yet another packed E3 experience.

Since this is my page, let's only recap the things I'm interested in or I've something to say about.

#FightingNEWS DRAGON BALL FighterZ - FighterZ Pass 2 Announcement Trailer | PS4, X1, PC, SWITCH

They just announced the new season of DLC characters coming to the awesome DRAGON BALL FighterZ, the new season will at least feature Jiren (the final big bad of Dragon Ball Super), Videl (yay!), Broly (DBS movie version) and Gogeta Blue. Plus 2 more unannounced-as-of-today additional characters.

Sounds good. Now gimme the female saiyans from DBS!!! 



Jiren and Videl will become available this January 31st.

AMAZING cover!!!

#AnimeNEWS Dragon Ball Super: Broly Movie Trailer #2 - (English Dub Reveal) Exclusive - NYCC 2018

The new trailer for the Dragon Ball Super: Broly just dropped, and it finally gives us a better look at this new upcoming film. Including how Toriyama's gonna retcon some elements of the saiyans backstory as well as keep some of the classic elements of the original Broly movie.



I specially dig how this new film seems to take elements from the Dragon Ball Minus chapter Akira Toriyama did not long along (bringing Goku's mom, Gine!).

#GamingNEWS JUMP FORCE - NEW Characters Trailer (Gamescom 2018)

How does JUMP FORCE manage to both look great and off-putting at the same time...?! The idea to put anime characters in a realistic setting sounds fun at first... but then you get toy-like looking characters over it..?



The game seems to be a new "Tenkaichi Budokai"-style fighting game. With similar simple inputs and overhead/shoulder camera.

#FightingNEWS at EVO'18

Some great news came out at EVO regarding some of my current favorite fighting games!

First up, after all this time TEKKEN 7's finally getting some new characters! Including 2 classic characters, 1 guest and 3 new faces later on. Here's the Season Pass 2 Reveal featuring.... the very random addition of Negan from AMCs The Walking Dead!



With Harada you never know what to expect... but you can always guess what he's currently into. He used to love the manga Gon back in the 90s, and was totally into Final Fantasy XV last year. Looks like he loves The Walking Dead series...

Street Fighter V randomly got two new characters today, after Ono's surprise playful announcement at the event, newcomer "G" and old school Sagat!





And since Base Goku & Vegeta are joining Dragon Ball FighterZ this Wednesday, August 8th, they also announced the arrival of the new character, Frieza's own non-canon brother, Cooler!

#SDCC2018 Dragon Ball Super: Broly Movie Trailer (English Dub Reveal) Exclusive

Here's a proper trailer for the upcoming Dragon Ball Super movie "Broly". Yes, a reboot of Broly in the current series. The animation looks nice. Never been a fan of the American dub(s), but since this comes from the Comic-Con...

#FightingNEWS Base Goku & Vegeta for Dragon Ball FighterZ DLC

If you thought there weren't enough Gokus and Vegetas in FighterZ, here comes more as DLCs!

It's the long rumored and now confirmed Base Goku and Base Vegeta forms which will come early August:

Goddammit... So this basically confirms the next and last ones for this first season of DLC will be Cooler and 17... The last half of these DLCs have been pretty boring, if you ask me.. Sigh..

#AnimeNEWS Dragon Ball Super Theatrical Film Revealed

So we finally got a better look at the upcoming new Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Super movie.... and it turns out it's going to be a "canon" reboot of Broly written and supervised by Akira Toriyama.... Woah??

That's right, after 3 DBZ movies and a sort of reimagined version in Dragon Ball Super, Broly's getting yet another film!

So let's have a new look at the previous teaser:



It gives a completely different look at that teaser. So it turns out that mysterious saiyan we glimpsed was Broly all along! (Which some fans had guessed earlier on might have been related to Broly or a form of Legendary Super Saiyan..)

The movie's expected to hit Japan on December 14 (and later worldwide, like the last two films).

Toyotaro's not the only one tracing art. Well, at least Toriyama used to copy his own panels...

This is AMAZING!!!

#MusicBOX Dragonball Evolution Music Video [Ayumi Hamasaki - Rule]

This film left marks, and not in a good way... Although...

 

There's only two good things to ever come out of the mess that was the film Dragonball Evolution. It helped revive the entire Dragon Ball franchise and bring author Akira Toriyama back to it in a more present way in over a decade, which just lived through video games by that point.

And it also brought J-pop singer Ayumi Hamasaki to the series to compose this kickass song for the film:

 

 

(Let's simply forget the fact it was attached to.. this "film"...)

#MusicBOX [HD]Dragon Ball GT Opening Dan dan Kokoro Hikareteku LIVE

I'm getting nostalgic about everything, lately. I always love the music in DBGT. And specially when I think about the end of the show.
