The first and only Dragonball GT movie: "A Hero's Legacy" will be available November 16, 2004. (Support FUNimation! Order from Zstore.com when it comes out!)



Throughout the years Goku’s life burned as a beacon of truth, a prime example of a life well lived. His journey was a triumph of commitment and resolve. But the torch must pass. Now Goku, decades after departing this world, watches as his descendant undertakes his own journey of discovery, a journey where veiled dangers lurk at every turn, to uncover the amazing truth behind the Dragon Balls. It is an ordeal demanding everything Goku Jr. is not. But what Goku Jr. yet realizes is that the same fire which fueled the mighty Goku burns within himself as well. Goku Jr. must discover that fire to realize his legacy, to prove that some things never die.

R.I.P. - Man of Steel
Posted by Tapion on 10-11-2004 20:24
Christopher Reeve, who portrayed the Man of Steel in four movies from 1978 to 1987, sadly passed yesterday due to heart failure. In the casting coup of the century Reeve was chosen among 200 potential actors for the part of the mythical and heroic Superman and seemed to personify in his acting of the part all of the noble and good qualities that people imagined Superman to have. It was clear that this was more than just a case of another actor getting another part in another movie as his performance has inspired millions to believe that honor and dignity and nobility can still exist in this world. Paralyzed from the neck down in a May 1995 horse-riding accident, he strove to still live life to its fullest and even began to make miraculous progress in overcoming the debilitating effects of his paralysis. He will be sorely missed.

New Fake Poster
Posted by tennis_man45 on 10-11-2004 13:26



If you see this poster anywhere, please know that it is a fake. Probaby the worst attempt so far at that. FOX has stated that they did not release this poster, or any dealing with the DBZ Live Action Movie.

Also, I must apologize for the scarcity of my posts, I have been VERY preoccupied with school, my personal life, and another project (i.e. site) that I've been working on. Thankfully Tapion has done a great job handling the news. I am still answering all emails, usually within a day at the most, so if you want to contact me, feel free.

FUNi Licensing 'Samurai 7'
Posted by Tapion on 09-28-2004 20:34
AnimeNewsNetwork has reported this:

"FUNimation announced the other day at Anime Weekend Atlanta that they had acquired the license for 'Samurai 7'.

'Samurai 7' tells of a small village is being persecuted by robbers who return every harvest to seize the village's crops. Faced with starvation, the villagers send out a mission to find and recruit some samurai to defend them. With no pay to offer except rice, and knowing full well that only down-on-their-luck samurai would even consider accepting such an deal, the villagers can only hope that their saviours will appear before the rice is ready for harvest."


Um, I'm no rocket scientist, but don't you think FUNi is getting a little ahead of themselves? I mean...they've licensed like six or seven animes in the past year and we've gotten hardly any word on their progress.
