[Dragon Ball] I understand Dragon Ball and Slam Dunk, but I couldn’t grasp why it was Marmalade Boy; I didn’t understand the combination well.

Otaku Review Image

Here’s the extracted text from the image: “I don’t trust this when it comes to fun! Strong Pressure Bull Mikyudo has three parts!! SLAMDUNK, the biggest danger in the North! Burn, Sakuragi Hanamichi! DRAGON BALL, the fierce search for wishes is here!! Marmalade Boy”

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:10

The film I was aiming for was usually showing at the last screening at the movie theater I often went to…

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:17

>>1Does it change depending on the movie theater??

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:12Yeahx3

Well, this used to be common back in the day…

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:13

There are a lot of really fast-paced stories, right?

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:13

I have the opportunity to watch Dragon Ball, but nowadays it’s rare to find chances to see the double feature that was shown alongside it.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:16

>>4Our war games and…

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:16

Each piece is short, so it has a really good tempo… yeah.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:18

Is marmalade bitter?

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:39

>>8There is a bitterness to the orange peel.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:18

It’s better than Godzilla and Hamtaro, right?

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:19

There was also Saint Seiya…
My memories might be mixed up, but there are subordinates of a god that don’t appear in the original work attacking, and for the time being, characters like the gold one are just a stepping stone.
It felt like a template where Seiya and the others keep facing the enemy one-on-one in their usual style while repeatedly urging to move forward…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:21Yeahx1

The movie of Saint Seiya, purely a Shonen Jump film, with the evil goddess Eris is the most interesting.
The second and subsequent films are movies that are enjoyable to watch for the animation.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:22

It was an era when it was allowed to casually enter and exit the movie theater.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:22

>>12I kept watching without switching it out, but I wonder if that was good or not…

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:24

>>13It’s okay because that system is normal in the first place.
From midway, the system of replacement became fundamental in order to make a profit (there is also a theory that this was caused by the huge success of Star Wars in America).

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:23Yeahx1

My parents are rational, but they insisted on entering near the end and watching the next round in the empty seats, so I often ended up watching movies from the conclusion.
The thing from the era before complete replacement systems.
Because if not, popular movies were standing room only…

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:02Yeahx3

>>14The standing view and the replacement system are also stories from the past now…

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:26

The complete replacement system has been fully established with the spread of multiplex cinemas.
At that timing, I got a lot of backlash for doing it, which was Gojihamu.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:27

Sitting on cardboard on the floor or standing at the very back, it’s probably an unbelievable movie experience in modern times.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:28

I went for Yu-Gi-Oh, but the Digimon had an amazing quality.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:42Yeahx2

>>18I really don’t understand why there’s such a discrepancy in animation quality even within the same Toei.
The Digimon also didn’t have much of a preparation period.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:29Yeahx2

Toei Spring Manga Festival

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:29Yeahx1

It must be connected to Shueisha.
The magazine that published Marmalade Boy is Ribbon.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:31Yeahx4

I was looking at it like an appetizer and a main dish.
That aside, the thread image “I’ll fill this hole of Gori with this Sakuragi Hanamichi!” made me have some slightly inappropriate thoughts, and I started to dislike myself.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:34Yeahx1

I think it’s a very well thought-out approach because both boys and girls from the same family can watch, which reduces the burden on the household and increases participation.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:43

I remember that Ojamajo Doremi and Digimon were also screened together.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:44

>>25Also, Kinnikuman Nisei.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:53

You feel like you’ve seen this kind of double feature, but you don’t remember anything other than the one you were actually looking for, right?
I watched Nube, so I should remember it, but I completely forgot about the movie Cutie Honey F.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:55

It’s a situation where works that don’t warrant a standalone theatrical release are bundled with popular movies, which could be negatively described as a tie-in sales strategy.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:02Yeahx1

>>27It’s a movie slot that functions like a quota for streaming several popular titles from our own company, so that’s not the reason either.
There were times when we couldn’t prepare our own works.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:03

>>32Was it Toei’s winter era during Beast Wars and Microman?

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:05

>>34The DB has ended, so probably before the Digimon…

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:06

>>32I guess it’s over because there are more of those kinds of things now.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:56

The combination of Dragon Quest: Dai’s Adventure and Yu Yu Hakusho was good.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:01

>>28I wonder if the Shadow Six Brigade leader will pick me up… There’s a higher possibility that Sanjo Riku doesn’t even recognize my existence (or at least, if he saw it in the minimal animation materials, he would forget).

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)06:58

I wonder if things like this are only seen in superhero shows and riders nowadays.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:01

It was Beast Wars and Super Doll Licca-chan.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:04

In the past, there were more kids, and there were often brothers and sisters of both genders everywhere, so that might be part of it too.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:04

I went to see the hot-blooded bond of Yu Yu Hakusho with my father.
I entered in the middle of the main feature, watched part of it, and then left.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:05

Even though it’s a bundle with Dragon Ball, watching it again in BD format made me realize that it’s a film adaptation, so the animation is done with great care, and it’s luxurious to see it in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Although it’s only 30 minutes long, I thought this in later years.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:05

The one I was doing together with Dragon Ball.
The one I was doing together with Dragon Ball.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:57

>>38Were there three movies of Dai?

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:58

>>841. Parallel of the Derumurin Island Edition
2. Right after the completion of the Romos chapter
3. Right after the end of the Freizaard arc.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:06

Released on August 13, 2021Movie: Oshiri Tantei – The Secret of Suhur IslandDeep Sea Survival!>Recyclers (Intermission Work)I didn’t know that Toei was still doing double features in recent years.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:07

That said, I recently watched the movie version of Marmalade Boy.
I thought, is this really okay for a compilation that’s completely empty, even if it’s a recap…?
Miki had bigger breasts and was cuter than I remembered.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:07

There were also stories about neighbors caught between Kitaro and Nube.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:08

After the end of Doraemons and being solo for a while, they suddenly brought back the Perman movie, didn’t they?
I only did it once.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:09

>>44Ume Star Denka has also been involved at least once.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:09

Now, simultaneous screenings of different works are already…
Isn’t there only the summer super sentai rider movie?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:11

Considering the pace, DB feels more like a TV special than a movie.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:14

>>47The actual content was quite sloppy, wasn’t it?
What is Ryuken?

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:15

>>48I answered that there was a format for the story because it had to be made in a short period of time.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:21

>>49Also, if you try to show originality in a clumsy way, there is a risk of conflicting with the original work in the future.
Enemies and gimmicks are summarized with similar items from the original work…
Did Ryūken go wild because the original work is ending?

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:21

Looking at it now, Cooler’s movie has few appearances of Super Saiyans.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:22

The thing with Metal Cooler had an overwhelming sense of despair.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:22

Dragon Ball
Marmalade Boy
Similar.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:22

It seems that Super Saiyan Goku (the Super Saiyan hasn’t appeared) made its first appearance in the original work around the month after that.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:25

When watching Broly for meme purposes, the battle that has finally started feels somewhat tedious…

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:26

>>55For some reason, the movie where Broly first appeared has a longer runtime than other works.
I might have been struggling with having too much time on my hands.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:25

Who came up with the hellish schedule of consecutive releases for the spring and summer manga festival?

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:28

Calm down, Broly…

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:30

The first Broly movie became a weird trend through memes, but honestly, it’s one of the less interesting Dragon Ball movies.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:31

I like the first movie Broly.
The second installment is mediocre, but I also like the third one.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:31

The Broly movie is certainly long.
The scene where it’s happening is long, isn’t it?

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:32

I don’t remember watching something like Ninku… Even though I’ve been to the cinema.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:32Yeahx1

Broly’s unique trait is that he doesn’t transform and the battle progresses with him having a one-sided advantage from the start.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:33

Order of Dragon Ball movie release times
Order of Dragon Ball movie release times

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:34

I was surprised to learn that when I was a child, the movies for Yu Yu Hakusho and Rurouni Kenshin were not shown together but rather separately.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:42

I was watching a DB movie on streaming, and I realized it was only an hour long and that it was so short.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:44Yeahx2

>>66The co-screening work is shorter…

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:45

The movie where Dai fights Hadlar’s shadow and the six major army leaders and defeats them all is 39 minutes long.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:46

The DQ movie is only 40 minutes long but features 6 enemies…

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:50Yeahx1

>>70There are seven people because there is also Hadlar’s shadow warrior.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:46Yeahx1

The predecessor, the Toei Manga Festival, included magical girl characters like Sally the Witch and Akko-chan, along with special effects heroes.
It’s not a hero story, but there’s a mix of live-action targeted at kids.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:51

You can see with characters like Cooler that the DB movies were made by rehashing the main story developments and adding original characters.
Let’s make a proper script! The first movie I worked on was the first Broly film.
I wonder why it turns out that way.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:52

Due to the sudden removal of one episode from the main story for the movie, Beast Wars has become somewhat strange.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:53

I think “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero” and “Fusion Reborn” are well-made as movies.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:54

What happened during the crisis in Shohoku?

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:54

It seems that Porunga might be used again to massacre Earthlings and make them work hard after the Buu saga…

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:54

But the Broly movie features Broly with a nice design.
Moreover, because I am the legendary Super Saiyan.
The children must have all been thrilled…!

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:54

>>78It’s scary!

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:55Yeahx3

>>78I think half of the Broly popularity among kids at that time was due to the Super Famicom.
Paragus had no recognition at all outside of the game.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:55Yeahx1

Well, Broly was popular long before it became a meme.
I treated it badly just because it was popular.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:56

Recently, Godzilla is not just associated with anime anymore.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:57

>>82Shin Godzilla and -1.0 have become a serious movie position…

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:58

>>82Thanks to the Hamutarou effect, sales have skyrocketed, but it becomes difficult to understand the sales of Godzilla alone.
In the era of multiplex cinemas, showing completely different genres together didn’t receive very good reviews.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:56

The concept of Broly was created by Kondo.
The concept among the movie staff is “How to defeat an invincible enemy?”

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:57

Since it’s the Toei Manga Festival, it’s not strange for Marmalade Boy to be there.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:59

I admired going to the cinema because I had never been to one when I was a child.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:59Yeahx1

The heavy anime-original movie feeling is quite rich when viewed now.
The heavy anime-original movie feeling is quite rich when viewed now.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)07:59

>>90An image where the scene of Matriph doing something erotic is erased.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:00

The period around whether Super Saiyan will appear or not is too harsh.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:01

>>92It’s Super Saiyan Goku.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:04

>>92The movie featuring Cooler has a limited theatrical release the week before it becomes Super Saiyan on TV, but it’s amazing that it starts with the setting where Frieza has been defeated.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:06

>>97First of all, it’s terrible that in the previous work, King Kai said that Slug is stronger than Frieza while Goku is still on Earth.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:01

What I was doing with Arale-chan was either Digimon or something else…
I felt like I wanted to see everything! I don’t think I was paying much attention to the manga festival.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:12

>>94Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh!
Most people went for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Ultimate Dragon, but since Digimon was a bit too interesting, almost no one remembers the content of Dr. Slump.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:03

I feel the intention that the Spirit Bomb should definitely defeat the enemy, and that Sagittarius will help, while Super Saiyan 3 delivers the final blow, which in the original work is somewhat restrained, so let them shine.
The Spirit Bomb was used against Pure Buu.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:03

Intense battles and fierce fights are everywhere, and it’s laughable with memes; even now, the Master Roshi part becomes tedious and feels like a chore.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:04

Doraemon and the Doraemon Gang…

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:05

Even the staff doesn’t understand what Super Saiyan is, but “It’s Super Saiyan, Son Goku!”

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:05

In the beginning, One Piece also had movies in this format…
Was the simultaneous screening Digimon?

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:06

>>100The first movie doesn’t have Sanji.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:06

Cooler gets instantly killed the moment he becomes a Super Saiyan.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:07

>>103Well, even if he is somewhat stronger than Frieza, there was quite a difference between Super Saiyan and Frieza…

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:11

>>104I feel like Frieza was quite persistent…

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:13

>>108If the 100% duration had been longer, I could have held on longer.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:14

>>111Until now, there haven’t been any enemies in the first form, so there was no need to train…

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:09

Since the war games, there are regions where kids haven’t been into Digimon, so I got the impression that some of them aren’t interested.
I’m reading the summary article of the V Jump TV anime.
I have some understanding, but… that was my feeling.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:09

Recently, there was a double feature with a “Reiwa Robocon” that I don’t really understand.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:10

It’s remarkable how DB can easily incorporate original characters from movies into the games, even though the level of breakdown is about the same as other works… I’ve gotten used to it, though.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:11Yeahx2

Even elementary school students have come to understand what parallel means in the old Dragon Ball theatrical versions!

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:18

>>109That has been restructured in a parallel way from the beginning of the original work, making it easy to understand because it’s connected only through the movie.
It seems there were plans for the Piccolo Daimao arc, but I would have liked to see it.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:19

>>109Gyoza Emperor!!

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:21

>>117As expected, this was confusing…

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:13

The Arale-chan that was screened simultaneously with Dragon Ball was set after the original story ended.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:15

I remember seeing a little bit of Digimon when I went to see Yu-Gi-Oh, but I had no memory of Dr. Slump being on as well…

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:18

It ended during the Frontier Meat Crush Gear, right?

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:20

The Doctor Willow saga is the battle against Vegeta when the finishing blow is delivered with a Spirit Bomb!

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:25

At that time, I went to see it with my parents, but I wondered what kind of judgment it was that I went to see this movie and didn’t see that movie…
Of course, I can’t remember it.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:28

I heard that the first movie I was taken to was one by Tarus, but I cried so much that they had to take me home halfway through.
What was no good, I wonder?

122: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:31

Since the theater was full, I sat on the stairs in the aisle to watch.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:33

When I went to the Self-Defense Forces venue at the Sapporo Snow Festival, for some reason they were screening the third installment of Dragon Quest: Dai’s Great Adventure, and I was like, “Why?”

124: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:33

When my grandmother took me to the movie theater a long time ago.
Since the movie I wanted to see wasn’t playing, I chose a random anime movie instead.
It was scary at X, and I didn’t understand the story, so it felt like it could become a trauma.
Thanks to the fact that the subsequent Slayers series was an easy-to-understand and funny anime, I was saved.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:37Yeahx1

I went to see it for One Piece, and since I didn’t know anything about Digimon (War Game), I was planning to sleep.
From the moment it started, I was completely sharp and unable to think about anything other than Digimon after that.
I went to see it a total of 7 times.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:39Yeahx1

When watching the Broly trilogy as a whole, it almost feels like Broly is the most entertaining…

127: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:41

>>126Gohan!!
This movie has no highlights other than this, right?

129: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:43

>>126It was quite refreshing and nice to see different members as the main ones than usual.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:43Yeahx1

I won’t say that the first One Piece movie is boring, but…
Well, I guess I’ll lose in the war game…

130: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:44

I like the unique power-up forms in movies.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:45

Because I’m a Super Saiyan, I can’t use the Spirit Bomb!
Seriously!? That’s how I felt back then.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)08:58Yeahx1

I think Drollie’s script is the best.
For kids, it’s more important that popular characters are fighting flashy than the quality of the script.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/02(Mon)09:00

Well, simultaneous screenings don’t really matter anyway.
I remember going to see the Nadesico movie and the simultaneous screening was Azumanga Daioh.
