New York Anime Festival! UPDATE
NY Anime Festival ‘08 has already kicked off and it looks like we have confirmation that a Dragonball panel will be held. Manga:About.com has this to say:
Day Two of the 2nd New York Anime Festival promises to be full of interesting and newsworthy events, including appearances by special guests Yoshitaka Amano, Hideyuki Kikuchi, the designers of Baby the Stars Shine Bright, and a “Top Secret” panel at 2:15 pm at the Anime News Network Theater. Now why on earth is there a picture from the Dragon Ball movie next to that panel’s description, plus an autograph session at 3:30 pm for Dragon Ball, I’m guessing it might be about… oh heck, just go check it out and see if this is one of the worst kept secrets in NYAF history or a very clever red herring.
So, if you happen to be attending feel free to send us a report!
UPDATE: Looks like that rumor was false. Thanks 5aucy.
The program guide has a mysterious top secret panel today in the anime news network theater. This is NOT taking place. The space is for rie tanaka - who got into nyc last night. The plan was for her to surpise fans with an early panel, but she is instead going to use this hour for additional rehearsal for her performance tonight. She loves you and that’s why she’s taking this extra time to make sure her concert rocks!
Ah well. . .
Discuss on the boards!

September 27th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
There better be SOMETHING about Dragonball there. One of FOX’s biggest “fails” is not advertising this movie in some way (in AMERICA) before now.
September 27th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
I don’t think it’s a Dragonball panel, according to this site.

http://www.blockbuster.com/movies/dragonball.html
Interesting. Looks like a new Synopsis, and HOLY CRAP!! 350 mins???
Haha. Somebody had a typo. 350 is worse than 90.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
plz have my baby
September 27th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Seriously. You guys just don’t get it. Fox hasn’t said SHIT about this movie yet and it’s already generating this much attention. When they finally put the trailer out, what do you think is gonna happen? Complete pandemonium! It’s over man. APRIL 2009 the shit is going down. You’re gonna see some hot martial arts action that only DRAGON BALL can create and deliver. This movie is gonna be THE DARK KNIGHT of LIVE ACTION ANIME MOVIES. That’s just for starters. This is just DRAGON BALL. Wait till the make the sequel and they get into the Z era. You thought that shit was OVER 9000!? Man it’s gonna blow up your freaking scouter. James Wong is IN THIS BITCH!
September 27th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
hello everyone, i just wanted 2 no, if 5 inches was good?????
September 27th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Yes, I cannot wait for Z. If it’s as bad as it was in the anime(As in it being painful to watch because of the beatings and the blood) Then hopefully it’d be R, but I doubt it.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
SUCKS TO BE
YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU LOLS
September 27th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
It doesn’t matter if something happened today or not. Just builds up more hype.
September 27th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
@ Alex-G:

September 27th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Yeah it’s so crappy people keep coming here everyday right? ANYWAYS!
September 27th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Figures there was nothing there. So far a half-brain dead chimpanzee could do better with advertising this movie than FOX is…
September 27th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
King Kai your funny man lol
September 27th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Man I’m just hyped for this movie. This is Dragon Ball. Freaking DRAGON BALL. I used to watch this show on TOONAMI! Now I get to see a 100 million dollar Kamehameha!? I don’t know how anyone WOULDN’T be excited. Yall better jump on the hype train. April 2009 we at the movies.
September 27th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
yeah I understand. I been pumped for this movie ever since I first heard of it back in December. I still can’t believe there making it. And its only 6 months away!
September 27th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
yeah all of this make s me cry i want to dress up as goku when it comes out at the movie theaters i love goku yea.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Um i think this the most antecepeded movie for 2009 seriouly
September 27th, 2008 at 5:32 pm

[...] Original post by Dragonball Movie Blog [...]
September 27th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
lol, we all should green our face, and spike our hair for the movie.. Oh and wear Orange!
September 27th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
King Kai says: “Now I get to see a 100 million dollar Kamehameha!? I don’t know how anyone WOULDN’T be excited. Yall better jump on the hype train. April 2009 we at the movies.”
Uhh…yeeeaaahhh, they didn’t actually put $100 million into a kamehameha.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm….YEAH! I was obviously exaggerating…
September 27th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
actually its not the most anticipated movie bc FOX absolutely refuses to be intelligent and advertise this move in AMERICA NOW!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
And look at how many fans are desperate for info on the movie ? Even the OLD FARTS that are against the movie keep coming back here and to DBthemovie every single day! Everyone wants to see this. Fox is playing their cards JUST right.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Because Dragon Ball is going to be better than any of those ? Um! Duh!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
@ J-syn:
There should be lots of Promotion during October my friend. FOX is going to World Premiere the trailer to “Dragonball” during Max Payne October 17th 2008…. Me and my brother is going to see it!! I can’t wait
Hey J-syn are you going to watch MAX PAYNE????
September 27th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
King Kai, umm, Dragonball is going to be better than The Dark Knight?
To each his own I guess.
September 27th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
In the action category yeah it’s gonna be better than dark knight.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
@ COREY:
IM going!!!!!!
September 27th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
king kai your rigth but way more people are going to Z if they make it
September 27th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
and i think it will brake records
September 27th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
And wtf you know you want to see this movie as much as i do.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
am talking to wtf
September 27th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Of course WTF wants to see the movie. As much shit as he talks he still comes here to check on it so you better believe his ass will be IN LINE BUYING A TICKET ON APRIL 10, 2009 !!!
September 27th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
@wtf:
I’m going to laugh if this movie gets beat out by Hannah Montana…in the U.S. anyway. I don’t know how popular that show is overseas.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
There really is no way Dragon Ball is going to get beat out by Hannah Montana. Dragon Ball has a larger fan base and it’ll be a good action/adventure movie.
September 27th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
@Corey
Yea im going to May Payne. I will see if theres a a trailer for Dragonball then leave. I was not a fan of the video game and im not a fan of the movie. A waste of money? Perhaps? A waste of time? NOPE!
September 27th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
personally with the way hanna montana has been going… and having two nieces VERY VERY in hanna montana, and with the large fan base it has… i wouldnt be too surprised if it beat out dragonball.
not a bit.
September 27th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
The best part of Max Payne was the style and the way the story was told. I loved both of the games. I’ll probably be there opening day. The Dragonball trailer will just be a side benefit.
Although I’m assuming it’ll get leaked and I’ll see it here first. Either way.
September 28th, 2008 at 12:20 am
wtf u should register on teh forums!
September 28th, 2008 at 12:38 am
Hannah Montana has a huge fan base who I’m sure of are looking forward to the movie.
DB has a much larger fanbase, but most aren’t into the movie. Just most of the people on this site and Adam’s site and a couple other sites are.
I’m thinking Hannah Montana will beat it out at least in the U.S.
September 28th, 2008 at 2:10 am
58th!
September 28th, 2008 at 2:11 am
or 75th or whatever
September 28th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
wtf,it isnt really that much work,and its alot of fun their
