Dragon Ball Super: Broly

Otaku329★ 10

" THIS IS A NON SPOILER REVIEW" This is an absolute gem of a movie. Modern Dragon ball can't get any better than this. It was really phenomenal. Here a few key features of the movie Story 9 The movie is divided into 2 phases. The "Past&The Present". The start of the movie is all about the history of the Saiyans. The movie does a half an hour long depiction of the history of the Saiyans. The past is mostly based on "DB MINUS" with a few tidbits from the "Bardock: The Father of Goku". The movie is more about broly. Broly was aSaiyan with really high potential. King Vegeta being jealous of Broly's latent potential decided to send away baby Broly to a faraway planet "Vampa". Paragus(Father of broly) being betrayed by The King, vowed to find his son and one day get revenge on the king. The movie explains the ties of fate between Goku, Vegeta and Broly. The present section of the movie takes place after "THE TOURNAMENT OF POWER". It's about the encounter of the 3 fated Saiyans with each other. Pretty simple plot not too complex or anything but is really well written and executed pretty well! Art 9 The animation of this movie is out of this world. Toriyama and Toei Animation decided to change the animation supervisor and character designer "Tadayoshi Yamamuro" to "Nahiro Shintani". His animation is more fluid and gives a refreshing feel to the movie. There is a use of CG as well. In short, this is the best anime movie of 2018 when it comes to animation. Having animators from My hero academia, one punch man etc working on it. Also got Toei's best staff with the likes of Naotoshi Shida, Yuya Takahashi, Naoki tate and other great animators. The movie is one hour and forty minutes of pure " SAGAKA". SOUND AND DIRECTION 8 The movie director is "Nagamine" who produced one of the best episodes of super like episode 95 or the introduction of Ultra Instinct etc. The movie is directed really well by him. His storyboards were really amazing. The music is composed by " Sumitomo" who had his fair share of criticism from the fans because of his music at the beginning of super. His music in the battle of gods was pretty good but in this movie it's so emotional and captivating FIGHT SCENES 10 Dragon Ball is known for producing some of the best fights in all of anime. And this movie is no exception. With the likes of Takahashi and Naotoshi Shida handling the main action parts of the film, the fight scenes are absolutely mind-blowing. Especially the final section of the movie where Shida brings his A game to the movie, Shida mixed with Shintani sheets produced some of the best fights in all of anime. CONCLUSION..... overall 10 You should absolutely watch this movie. Not only its animated really well, but it also showcases some of the best fights of 2018, and it has great music too. Please go and watch this movie in the theatres. Its theatrical experience will blow your mind. Overall it's a pretty solid movie. 10/10 for me !!!

i have written this review after watching the movie unlike the many reviews written by wannabe anime fans who even never watched it.Sadly this is a more common thing happening between weebs. now, STORY: I am not going to explain the story because the internet is flooded with it. What i do can say is that the story used for the movie is built up better than most popular series movies in the last 3-4 years.To be honest i did not expect that because most of the past movies are not that big story based in the DB universe. however i do feel that they could've exploit some topics broader.ART: Ladies and gentlemen you need to see this movie just for the artwork/animation alone. While every other series are fully going for the digital animation/modern look,the director of the DB Broly movie MADE a STATEMENT by making the movie in Old School manga/anime colours and pencil strokes.They do have some use in the movie of modern techniques but it does the movie justice. I watch anime for over 25+years and my god this movie gave me back those Old School nostalgia. no other series can top this up for the moment. But i must confess i did not like some of the character designs because it did not match the Old School touch. SOUND: soundtrack and movie effects are on point and were blasted off on the right moment. CHARACTER: I felt that some characters did not match the whole concept of the movie.Probably they did this to make the movie more open for NON-DB viewers. The new Broly design is superb!It truly screams the savage saiyan look.The old broly personage of the previous movies is blown by bits from the new broly. To bad some characters had not to much screentime. ENJOYMENT: How can you not enjoy this movie?This movie is packed with action. There is nothing wrong watching some old school typical DB fighting. OVERALL: This movie will dominate box offices. The amount of effort and work into it is insane,if you can not acknowledge that then i suggest you stop watching J-animation in it's whole. This movie made a statement by using the Old School look and re-vamping 2 popular characters and that takes balls to do it since we live in an era flooded with oversensitive fanservice fans and keyboardgangsters that like to bash because they cannot accept change or cannot accept good work. I salute the whole crew who made this movie!It has been a while that i really enjoyed a good J-animation movie since kimi no wa and wolf children
