ComingSoon's Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero review takes a look at the latest entry in the anime series, which is the best Dragon Ball movie yet.
Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero
focusing on the duo of Piccolo and Gohan is an interesting change of pace for the series, which has primarily concentrated on Goku’s quest to become the strongest warrior he can be and to save the Earth from any baddies, for a couple of different reasons.
That’s not to say that Goku and Vegeta are totally ignored, though. They are off on Beerus’ planet training while a contrived, yet hilarious, plot device keeps them from helping out their family in danger, but their scenes are just as important to their character arcs. Not only do they offer some much-needed levity and comedy throughout the movie, they wind up having some stellar moments near the end that should set up the future of the anime in an exciting way.
It turns out that not only does Goku work in small doses, but it’s nice seeing the ensemble cast get more time to shine as well. There are genuinely great moments throughout the film with Pan, who is growing up before our eyes and undergoing training with Piccolo, and we get to see Trunks and Goten, who have both hit a growth spurt since. Even Bulma gets time to shine as she has been using Shenron for some hilarious wishes that play into her personality perfectly.
Its visual style was one of the biggest question marks before its release since 3D visuals have had a shaky history in anime. Even the occasional usage of 3D in themovie made me more than a bit cautious after seeing the first teaser for the film last year. Luckily, the movie looks incredible in motion, even if it can still look a bit off when looked at frame-by-frame — although that complaint can certainly be levied against traditional animation as well.
