In our second contribution for the Bonus Round on Anime3000, Narutaki looks at the first Dragon Ball movie. Before there was the many levels of Super Saiyan and space aliens aplenty there was the story of young Goku trying to find the Dragon Balls while flying around on a cloud. Narutaki looks at the retelling of the origins of the Dragon Ball franchise now that it has finally been released uncut for an English-speaking audience. I hope you don’t mind that to pay the bills we threw on a little commercial for a driving school. They are sort of the international version of the RED Driving School. If this goes well maybe Anime3000 can get some more sponsors in the future.
