I will not write any spoilers. But it's hard not to be biased by the love I feel for this manga/anime series. I'm re-watching for 10.000.000 time this series, re-auditing all the Japanese cast and crew credits (hard work that seems to be lost, but well, that's life for us, good willing volunteer contributors). I'm not gonna argue because now I have time (Yay Southamerican summer vacations) and I love binge-watching Dragon Ball with my family in Chile.
I didn't gave this episode a 10, because of the fillers, maybe they are necessary to create some kind of context and to present this new character, Gohan, but the story they chose is not quite appealing. Maybe is because I'm too old now? Still, I love the animation, the mix between family scenes and this menace that is imminent. A good switch between our good-old Dragon Ball with chibi Son Gokû, and this new stage on our friends lives. Oh, the adulthood.
If you haven't seen the original Japanese version, I encourage you to see it (subbed, dubbed, it's your choice now with all the DVD releases). You will meet a whole new different DBZ than the one you watched in the early 2000 on Cartoon Network. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.
