Briefly: Unfortunately, I’ve never watched Dragon Ball Z in my entire life. My friends freak out every time they’re reminded of that fact. I’ve had DVD’s lent to me multiple times, and they’re always returned without ever leaving their cases. I do want to watch it, and the limitless praise that I’ve heard for the series makes me ashamed to say that I haven’t. It’s on the list, okay!?
That being said, I could not take my freaking eyes off of this.
The project is called Dragon Ball Z: Light of Hope, and a few days back the 13-minute pilot for the potential fan created web series hit the web, and it’s totally hype (as Shane O’Hare would say).
The series is an adaptation of “The History of Trunks” TV Special, and tells the story of a post-apocalyptic future where 2 Androids have murdered millions of people, and only 2 young warriors can rise up to stop them.
Did I mention how freaking cool this is?
The series comes from Robot Underdog, and the short’s cast and crew includes lifelong martial artists Amy Johnston, Tyler Tackett, and Anton Bex, as well as Jack Wald’s premiere as the young Trunks. As awesome as the pilot is, Robot Underdog needs help to continue the story. The company is currently seeking donations to complete episode two and three of the project, so be sure to head here if you want to help out!
Take a look at the pilot below (and be sure to check out Robot Underdog’s fantastic Miles Morales short here), and be sure to let us know what you think! I can’t wait for the next episode!
