Certainly, you’ve heard. Two of anime’s biggest, largest and most enormous titles are returning to the scene in significant fashion this year. We’ll be seeing plenty more of SAILOR MOON CRYSTAL and DRAGON BALL Z: BATTLE OF GODS at Anime Expo, so now - - with the countdown rolling onward to that convention - - VIZ and FUNimation have respectively released some revealing new trailers for each.

SNAP JUDGMENTS - -
Most of the criticisms from those who’ve seen BATTLE OF GODS already (summoning the movie after * AHEM * gathering the Dragon Balls) look to be holding true in even these choice snippets. The CG animation segments really do look like clips from a BUDOKAI game, and the shiny cleanness of the 2D segments don’t really seem to fit rougher tone of the series.
The 2014 re-polish seems to fit SAILOR MOON better. However, considering the timing, I again have to wonder if this is going to wind up being a reconstructionist response to MADOKA MAGICA. Many elements may have been updated, but the trailer’s still harping on the now-mythological set-up of this ordinary teenage girl being called to adventure by a mysterious cat.
Those are just my impressions, obviously - - but I’d much rather hear yours. How do these clips rank for your lunatics? Are these worthwhile continuations for two beloved franchises? Or are they sharp-jumpers for the franchises? Should they have left well enough alone? Let us know in the talkback.
