Dragonball: Evolution Drains the Dragon
Some Japanese TV show a few more clips of Dragonball: Evolution, and I think it’s genuinely impressive how Shenron, the dragon of the titular balls (hee hee! “titular balls”!), was painstaking recreated as if it had been made using the CG techniques of 1998. I’ve never seen anything more computer-generated in my life. Seriously, the dragon from Storm Riders — a movie made in Hong Kong over a decade ago — looked better.
Awesome. This is just awesome. Now please excuse me, while I smash a gin bottle into my own skull and attempt to drink directly from the wound. (Via LiveActionAnime)
