I've never seen any Dragon Ball before this movie, so I didn't really know all that much about the characters. I had first borrowed the tape version of this, before it came out on DVD. The movie is a little old, around 1988 I think, but it is pretty well done. Decent story, good characters. The Character Notes helped out a whole lot. My friend and boss, Doug tried to explain to me the Dragon Ball Universe, but after a little while, I was confused, and simply nodded my head in faux-understanding to the rest of his tale. He tried though. The reason this rated so high was the inclusion of the Deleted TV Scenes. There are only four of them, but they are about 4-5 minutes long each, and add that special touch to the DVD version. It's all those little extras that make it count! Dragon Ball fans shouldn't miss out on this one.
