Bandai Namco has released the opening movie for the upcoming video game Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, and it's sure to please fans of the iconic anime. Not only does it feature a song straight out of the anime's opening, it recreates several of these scenes within it, and offers a look at various environments and characters in the process.

For those that might not be familiar, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is set to follow the storyline of Dragon Ball Z from its beginning with a few extra additions. Given that, it only makes sense that the opening cinematic would lift as much as it could from the anime. It lends the game a certain amount of nostalgia and authority, which is much needed given that previous gameplay examples have come across a little rough at times. (The only thing that could make the opening cinematic better, in this writer's opinion, would have been the use of the original English opening song.)
