No kidding.
It seems like there would have been at least ONE Dragon Ball fan working on the movie... but apparently nobody there had a damn clue.
Akira Toriyama said some comments about this movie.
“As the original creator, I had a feeling of “Huh?” upon seeing the screenplay and the character designs, but the director, all the actors, the staff, and the rest are nothing but “ultra” high-caliber people.
Maybe the right way for me and all the fans to appreciate it is as a New Dragonball of a different dimension. Perhaps, this might become a great masterpiece of power! Hey, I look forward to it!!”
