Movie Reviews
Best Dragonball Z Saga so far, and it's not over yet!

"At the start of this video the Z fighters meet at the Island where Trunks said the Andriods would appear. Trunks is there too only with Bulma, as a baby, anyway. Yajerobe's ship gets destroyed by the androids and they fly into the city, the Z fighter go in to find them(they cant sense the android's power level)would you know the wuss yamcha find them first and almost gets killed, too bad it was almost, one of the android destroys the city and goku leads them off to fight elsewhere.android 19 kicks goku's but because he gets that heart virus while fighting him, but My Man Super Saiyan(thats right Super Saiyan)Vegeta saves the day. the fight between Vegeta and 19 doesn't start till the next tape, read my review there. Vegeta is the Prince of all Saiyans Once again!"
This is one you must see in Japanese

"This DVD contains a very cool scene with Goku going Super Saiya-jin in front of the two androids; I watch just this clip frequently. And, of course, this is where Vegeta first goes Super Saiya-jin himself, after 4.5 years of training in up to 450 times earth's gravity he achieves the goal he set, passing Goku in strength. Watching it in Japanese is worth the cost of the DVD.I have been collecting the DBZ tapes since the legal copies were made available. I have recently switched to collecting them in DVD format, and while converting my current tapes to DVD would cost too much, there are some key DVDs you must have whether you collect tapes, DVDs, or are just a Toonami fan. I would include on this list, Androids Invasion, Super Saiyan Goku, the two with Piccolo's fight with #17, and the one with Gohan going Super Saiya-jin level 2 (seeing that in Japanese is amazing). The list should be bigger, but I still have not seen the entire series."
Great Movie

"This movie is great. It starts out when the Androids appear and begin wrecking the city like Trunks said. Yamcha is held at Android 20's mercy before all the other Z fighters show up to help. At the end of the movie, shockingly Vegeta ends up turning into a Super Saiyan. All out this is one of the best movies yet."
The Androids are Here!

"This 4-episode DVD is about the Androids arriving, but a few things are off about what Trunks said. Goku turns Super Saiyan and fights 19, but the heart virus kicks in and then Vegeta as a Super Saiyan takes over! You don't get to see Vegeta do anything though, that's on the next DVD. There are a few parts in this DVD that are tedius to sit through and you'll probably skip these parts after seeing them the first time. The first part is when Master Roshi is explaining to Marin who Dr. Gero is and why the androids were made and you are shown a flashback of Goku defeating the Red Ribbon Army back in Dragonball. Another Part that might get boring after the first time seeing it is when Vegeta explains how he became a super saiyan. The menu system is exactly the same throughout the Androids Saga and the extras aren't very good. I definitely reccomend this DVD!"
FUNimation tapes worth their money?

"If you don't know anything about the Dragonball triology (DB, DBZ, DBGT,) and are a kid under 13, and you watch DBZ on Cartoon Network, I recommend this tape to you. Otherwise, the tape just plain sucks! Bad dubs, lame action sequences, and "uncut" my... Uncut to FUNimation means censoring everything, then add three drops of blood! I could understand the nudity and some hardcore violence, but censoring the names of the characters and the main points of the violence totally ruins the story plot. This tape shows a little bit of SSJ1, nothing beyond the first super sai-jin form. I recommend you not buy the tape for all the reasons above and about 5000 more and save your money, and not to watch it on Cartoon Network to save time, and to spend the money on the original Dragonball instead of this Funimation DBZ garbage."
