Crunchyroll is promising an ultra immersive fan experience at Booth #4135 at San Diego Comic-Con this year. You’ll be able to see a real life replica of Piccolo’s house from Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO like a mini Dragon Ball Disney Land.
Crunchyroll has also branded city buses from the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System throughout the ‘Con with art from Dragon Ball Super, My Hero Academia, Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan, SPY x FAMILY, and others.
Here are the Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO panels and concerts taking place this July at San Diego Comic Con:
Friday, July 22, TBD | Hall H
“Just one month from theatrical release, fans and movie-goers can join a Q&A with talent and production members, including guest of honor Toshio Furukawa (Japanese Voice of Piccolo), Christopher R. Sabat (English Voice of Piccolo), Akio Iyoku (Executive Producer) and Norihiro Hayashida (Producer) for stories and insights from the film.
Plus an exclusive look at the first 20 minutes of the film only at SDCC!”
Saturday, July 23 at 7pm | The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park
“The Dragon Ball Z Concert Experience – Comic Con International Premiere Edition combines the senses and sounds of Dragon Ball Z, together with a world renowned orchestra, live vocals, and a legendary composer, to create a truly immersive multimedia, one-of-a-kind curated concert experience.
Nicholas Buc, Conductor, and San Diego Symphony Orchestra power up for the experience.”
Bonus:
Friday, July 22 at 7pm-9:30pm | The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park
“A high-impact performance with anime inspired elements and dance crew! 88Rising’s powerhouse J-Pop girl group ATARASHII GAKKO! represent a new generation of Japanese youth, one embracing personal expression and pushing against traditional boundaries a little at a time.
The outlandish quartet — composed of kawaii-but-fierce Mizyu, wildcard Suzuka, graceful Kanon and funky Rin — break down genre walls to create music mixing elements of pop, jazz, hip-hop, rock and more.
DJ Jun Inagawa opens the Crunchyroll-Hime Dance Party for anime fans to get their groove on!”
– Read about J-Pop girl group ATARASHII GAKKO! attending Crunchyroll Expo
“ATARASHII GAKKO! (literally meaning “new school” in Japanese) are a group of four young women who are redefining what it means to be a girl group.
They wear sailor-fuku (sailor suits) uniforms in a style that were worn by Japanese students back in the 70s and 80s with long skirts and pulled-up socks, and staunchly refuse to be objectified.
Their aggressive and expressive dance moves, which they choreograph themselves, are a hybrid of the energy of Japanese butoh dance, heavy metal headbanging, and hip-hop street dancing.
Musically, AG! brings together elements of modern J-Pop, Showa-era kayokyoku, rap, punk, dance music, but it would be pointless to try to categorize them in any genre.”
You can catch up with Dragon Ball Super right now on Crunchyroll’s streaming service ahead of the film’s release in in North American theaters on August 19, 2022. See the lead up to Piccolo and Gohan’s new journey.
San Diego Comic-Con will take place at San Diego Convention Center from July 21-24, 2022.
