Dragon Ball Z: Box 6

The great thing about the Dragon Ball Z series is the wild way the stories can swing from low brow comedy to intense action to heartfelt emotions, often in a single episode. One minute we’re watching a cheap fart joke with a character called Mr Satan, the next we’re witnessing a mad sniper shoot and kill a cute little puppy. Sure, fans of the series know the puppy will turn out to be only wounded in later episodes, but that doesn’t keep the scene from being emotionally intense. Unfortunately, while this set has a lot of interesting moments scattered throughout it’s six discs, the continuing story line of the good guys lining up to battle the indestructible bad guy, a bubblegum-colored blob named Boo, wears thin after a while.
