Indie films-games and something anything else inbetween! At IndyFilm Oneblaze we try to highlight Indy creative projects.

Sometimes you have to give props where it is due, this animator from France, named Mellavelli who like many from my generation loved Dragonball z and all the crazy action fights that came with it. This animator has taken it to another level and has released his third episode of his fan based series called Dragon ball Absalon. The story follows the new z team which includes all the kids all grown up, Gohan being the oldest of the group, followed by Trunks, Goten, uub, pan, bra and any other children I have missed, the original cast from the series makes entrances too, yes that would be Goku, Vegitta, Piccolo and etc.

As mentioned the animation is well done, there are several limited animated frame areas but under the load I can see why the animator decided to limit the frames on some scenes and worried more about the action scenes. One of my biggest gripe of this series is dialogue which sounds like a cheaply dubbed anime, FYI I hated the American dubbing of DBZ it was simply horrid, I preferred the Spanish overall next to the original Japanese. Alas I understand he does not have the budget to hire top voice actors. Getting away from my criticism this series is still worthy of a watch or two as it introduces some very interesting twist, story arc and adventures.

In the past I had been one to give him gripe regarding the fact that the Dragonball franchise is not his property and receiving funds for animating such a product could come back to bite him if the original content creators decide to sue him, but hey that is just my words, thankfully that has not occurred as he is doing a better job of entertaining compared to the current cannon series newer season and episodes.

So please if you can check out his amazing work from the link below if for some reason the embed fails.
Also note he does other animation besides Dragonball which are equally satisfying.

I can’t believe I missed Gatchaman live action back in 2013 and still have not watched it yet which will all change by the end of this week. Regardless the trailer looked awesome as always. Thank the film makers it was not done by none other than the originators of this series. Sorry hollywood but you butchered Dragonball Z and many other said series from the eastern front. The only idea from the east which seems to have boded well was Pacific Rim and that was based on the idea of Kaijus(Monster) Films, anime and stories. Going from what I recall from the anime the story follow a team of enhanced humans. Much in the vain of power rangers and the kamen series that power rangers is based on they fight a hord of space invaders hell bent on annihilating all humans. So I am assuming the story of the live action will follow a similar story path. Here is hoping it bodes well, considering it will be more directed to teen to mid 20s early 30s focal it will have that cheese drama but the action will be intense. Enough of my snub talk check out the trailer and come to your own conclusion and decide to check out the flick.
