Full Trailer For ‘Dragon Ball Super: Broly’

by David Lopez · July 20, 2018

Whether you prefer watching Dragon Ball Super subbed or dubbed, Toei animation has the trailer for you.

Though Dragon Ball Super may have recently come to a conclusion, there is still plenty of Dragon Ball content to enjoy. Dragon Ball Legends is a new mobile game that is currently available, the Dragon Ball Heroes anime is airing online to promote the trading card game of the same name, Dragon Ball FighterZ is still a widely popular video game that even has some new DLC on the way, and the dubbed version of Dragon Ball Super is still premiering on Toonami. But if that isn’t enough Dragon Ball in your life, then check out the full trailer to the brand new full-length feature film, Dragon Ball Super: Broly.

This trailer has much more content that I would have expected from Dragon Ball. Every single Dragon Ball narrative is basically the same – gather up enough strength to stop the unbelievably powerful new foe – but trailer to Broly suggests that we may be uncovering some past details that we never knew about our favorite heroes. There has to be a reason why the marketing is asking fans “what do you see beyond that strength?” Hopefully this means that Broly will have more depth than fans are anticipating.

I’m also really digging the film’s visual aesthetic. I fell off Dragon Ball Super due to the low quality animation. And though hardcore fans swear that the animation improved for later arcs, I still had issues with the anime’s pacing. But with a feature-length film’s budget, and a two-hour time constraint, these are issues that can easily be improved upon with Broly.

I miss seeing classically animated films in theaters, so it’s nice to see a movie that’s hand drawn (or at least one that appears to be hand drawn) released on the big screen. It even harkens back to early days of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z airing on television, which I’m sure plenty of fans are nostalgic for. There are clearly some moments of action that incorporated CGI, but hopefully there won’t be too much.

Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F hit the top ten highest grossing anime films released in the U.S. and is currently the 22^nd highest grossing anime film worldwide. With original creator Akira Toriyama involved in the story, and coming off of the success of Dragon Ball Super, and boasting the canonical introduction of an iconic character like Broly, it’ll be interesting to see what kind of numbers Dragon Ball Super: Broly can make.
