I am quite shocked that there is no thread for this until now, but today I saw someone writing about a new Dragonball Z movie probably being released next year. It is going to be Anime and the original author Akira Toriyama is involved. I've spent soooo much time watching Dragonball Z on TV and reading the Manga (actually I own all 42 comics and I have read them at least 5 times), so this will be a nice trip to the past!
This used up so many afternoons in late elementary-middle school. I still vividly remember all the nonsensical plot, powering up, and damn it all, I loved it.
I used to love this show, but honestly I tried rewatching it, and it's so bad :S. There's no consistency and over time that ended up bothering me. Everything is just "oh we're no match" to "oh we're evenly matched" to "oh I'm so much ridiculously stronger than you, but my ego gets in the way" back to "oh I'm barely weaker than you/equal to you now and this is the final fight."
I've been looking for animes to watch again. I've gone through Cowboy Bebop and the two Ghost in the Shell series a couple of months ago, so I don't want to do it again... I have fond memories of Dragonball Z, but something tells me nostalgia influences my memory.

i just finished watching all of db/dbkai/dbz like 1 week ago
this would be amazing
It's totally real. I've never been more excited about a movie. This is one of my favourite animes of all time.

Funny, that's what I loved the show for. It didn't pretend to be anything other than that and that's what made it awesome.

you watch this show for all the wrong reasons. The 30 minute screams in dump taking position are what make the show

Of course the show sucks looking back at it now, but who the hell didn't want to be a Super Saiyan when they were younger
On a more serious note: i haven't watched DBZ since elementary school and have not seen the new Kai series. It will be nice to see how the original creator adapts his work to the modern time.

Don't destroy my childhood!
Seriously, the whole Namek thing was so epic. Watching it the first time was just priceless. I remember sitting in front of the TV every evening with my brother.
This is definitely going to be the best movie in 2013!!
Also to the guy above "Kai" is just DBZ but done in the original JP format. So the series is shorter. There's no filler and its true to the manga. Also the music isn't the techno that was in the American release and is much closer to the original Japanese music that went with it.
