Spike TV has announced the line up for this year “Scream” awards and Dragonball Evolution has been nominated for Best Comic Book Movie of 2009. It will go up against “Punisher : War Zone”, “Watchmen”, “The Spirit” and “X-Men Origins : Wolverine”. I would be very surprised if it actually wins.

Sad news Dragon Ball fans, there will not be a new DB related anime special this year (as we were hoping). Of course I think we were just spoiled with the recent Dragon ball special, “Yo! Son Goku and Friends Return” from last years Jump Anime Tour. But there is still hope to next year’s Jump Anime Tour. And at least we got Dragon Ball Kai this year.
Anyways, the tour begins October 12th in Tokyo and will end on November 29th in Sapporo. Kanzentai reports the following anime/manga events.
- One Piece : Screening footage of the series 10th movie, “Strong World”. In theaters December 12th.
- Naruto : Brand new special for the 10 year anniversary.
- Toriko : Manga becomes alive with the series finally becoming animated.
- Yu-Gi-Oh! – Screening of the 10th anniversary special.
- Katekyou Hitman Reborn! – An animated special covering the Vongola mafia family.
- Letter Bee – Continuation from last year’s animated premiere at the JSAT.
It has been several months since we have seen anything new from the upcoming MMORPG DB game, Dragon Ball Online. But now a brand new trailer has been revealed that shows a lot of interesting aspects in this game. It shows the new characters going back in time to the era of the first Goku vs. Vegeta battle. There are some other spoilers in this trailer.
While attendig the convetion, Monster Mania, James Marsters (Lord Piccolo) did some Q&A sessions. And during one of these sessions, he discussed his role on Dragonball Evolution.
As discussed in the comments, rumors are going around that there is a leaked copy of a supposed directors cut of Dragonball Evolution. The user that posted about it on YouTube claims one of the versions of the film has an alternate ending and beginning. The other supposed version just has the deleted scenes added in and uses the ending song from Dragon Ball Kai in its credits, so that one might be a fake (although there are a few extra scenes not seen in the original). But the possibility of a true Directors cut version of the movie is likely to release. We will keep you posted.
The upcoming video game “Dragon Ball Z Raging Blast” for the PS3/360 will feature a brand new form of Broly, Super Saiyan 3. This comes from the latest issue of Jump. Check out the scans below!
You can now pre-order season two of Dragon Ball remastered/uncut from Amazon. It releases on November 10th 2009 and has a set price of $39.99.
The same date is when the first Dragon Ball Z “Dragon Box” releases (although it was rumored to delay until December) and yet another re-release of the first two DBZ movies (Dead Zone and The World’s Strongest).
