Akira Toriyama, the acclaimed manga artist who created the Dragon Ball universe back in 1984, had some interesting thing to say to this Japanese site (which was helpfully translated by anime news network).
Commenting before the new Japanese trailer for the film, he said: "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-calibre people."
He went on: "Maybe the right way for me and all the fans to appreciate it is as a new Dragon Ball of a different dimension. Perhaps, this might become a great masterpiece of power! Hey, I look forward to it!!"
It sounds like Toriyama is happy to accept Dragonball: Evolution on its own terms - what do you guys think? The movie is out on April 8 in the US, and the 10th in the UK.
