Neat to see them hearkening back to Red Ribbon Army. Also love seeing Dende and Pa growing up. Kind of hoping we see Gohan as Great Saiyaman again.

Seeing Toriyama´s art style from like the mid-00s till now in CG is interesting. Broly is also confirmed. Unsurprisingly.

You say this but i just finished catching up DB, watched Broly yesterday and yes, the first part of the fight is quite spectacular. Then CGI came in and it was cheap. And then they put the fight over a Windows XP standby screen and it was completely ridiculous I was laughing for the rest of the movie.

Yeah, the CG...will take some getting used to.
Seems like this is going for a more straightforward Superhero story.

The trailer really sank my hopes. Broly looked fantastic, but this looked like a cutscene from Xenoverse. It is really cool to see Pan aged up and training though.

Bulma isn't like Mokuba, she is very important in the series. She created the Dragon Radar, created a Time Machine, She the first friend of Goku |
Unless there are talking about a different Mokuba I agree that Bulma is far more important to her respective series than he was.

This is the price we had to pay for DBZ Super Broly

Why is this s movie? Should be a rpg video game. Make it a follow up to Kakarott, but focused on the new generation

The CG style makes it look more like I'm watching a trailer for a new Dragon Ball video game instead of a movie (and the animation can't compare with TMS' Lupin III The First). Not too impressed, sorry.

The whole vibe of this trailer feels off. I cant help but laugh when the little kid walks out of the shadows and turns his head. It keeps reminding me of something. South Park is at the top of my head. They spelled "Boo" on the screen. English version will probably change it to Buu. lol

Ye the Broly movie had incredible 2D animation but the CGI was just as awful as it usually is. Which is unfortunate because for some reason they decided to go all in on it when Super Saiyan Blue showed up in the film. At least the last part of the fight is all 2D animation but that awkward middle bit definitely sticks out.

I thought the same thing. I've played a lot of Dragon Ball games over the years, so I think that helps explain why it didn't look as off as I might have expected. CGI versions of these characters are something I'm used to seeing. That said, it still has the effect of looking janky when CGI mimics 2D. Lupin made it work because it did the whole thing in 3D, instead of trying to also look hand drawn.

You said it before I could. After the Lupin III The First, it's hard not to roll my eyes at CG that looks like this. Plus, the recent burn of Getter Robo Arc makes it hard for me to want to pitch my tent in the "it's fine, it's just a preview" camp. Plus PLUS, the CG in Broly didn't look that great.
It's annoying because there definitely are people at Toei who can make good CG. The PreCure series generally has really good looking CG.

The CGI looks better than I expected it to be.
