aww man, somebody gets to watch DBZ from the beginning for the first time...

I spent many an afternoon rushing home to throw Toonami on just to catch the next episode.

Watched the first 2 last night, I liked it so far

I think it's awesome that I'll be watching this and know that it follows his life growing up.

Excited to watch this with my son when he gets a little older!

No, I'm starting at DB.

About the light of hope movie

"Hope is worth fighting for." Dragon Ball Z: Light of Hope is a 3-Episode live-action web series adaptation of "The History of Trunks" TV Special.

Created by fans, for fans, Light of Hope is a non-profit live-action version of the series that stays true to the characters, world, and events created by Akira Toriyama.

The full cast list and crew are written into the video description. I'm the writer.

Budget: $10,000. We received $6,000 from fans in an IndieGogo crowd-funding campaign. Minus fees and taxes, it came to about $5,000. The producers invested another $5,000 of their own money to secure locations and pay for film permits, costumes, and equipment.

Time: Almost 1 year.

The entire project was done by fans who love Dragon Ball Z and worked for free. Countless hours were poured into it, and great sacrifices of time, energy, and money were made in order to bring DBZ to life.

Plans for the Future: Episode 2 is longer, more action packed, and full of huge fights, but we have no money and cannot start filming it until we do.

If you want to see Dragon Ball Z: Light of Hope - Episode 2, then Donate to Robot Underdog, and buy The Dao of Dragon Ball Books. Every dollar we receive will go toward the budget of Episode 2, and to keeping me, the writer, alive.

This post has been approved by the r/dbz mods.

Thank you, and enjoy Light of Hope!

That was Amazing! Literally 10,000,0000,000x better than that thing which I will not name. Because it doesn't exist in my mind.

I don't how they did that without a studio budget behind them. Are they hoping that if they do it right they will get picked up? I don't know how they can sustain more than 5 episodes with those vfx. Just because of how much that costs. I hope they can, they did a fantastic job.


Edit: post above answered all of those questions.

Whatever dbz.tv is. I'm going to watch the first couple sagas, and if it keeps me intrigued, I'm gonna buy some seasons

So you're watching it dubbed then.

Keep in mind that I'll be watching this with my son when he is old enough to understand and comprehend storylines, and will be able to follow along with me during the series.

It wasn't uploaded last night when I checked but I'll definitrly be checking it out today.. Watched a couple of the trailers; seems well done.

Anybody else think the kid playing Trunks sounds like he is speaking in dragon tongue from Skyrim? Every time he started punching I thought he was starting to say "Fus Ro Dah" which is the force push spell in the game.

Or am I too nerdy for my own good?

Dropped $1300 on tix to Hawaii, will not be able to pick it up
