Anime Review:
The dead zone takes place before the events in the Sayin saga. In it the evil Garlic Jr. is searching for the seven dragon balls so he can wish to become immortal. In his search the last one he needs is on the hat of Gohan. He and his troops kidnapp Gohan and Garlic can sense a tremendouse energy coming from the young boy. It is because of this that he wants to addopt Gohan as his own.
In the Meantime Goku has discovered that Gohan has been captured and immedietly uses the Dragon Radar to track him down. By the time he gets there though Garlic Jr. Has already made his wish for immortality. Goku teams up with Piccolo and Kami and they battle Garlic Jr for the sake of earth, however in the end GOhan uses his sleeping powers to attack Garlic and throw him into the Dead Zone. From there we can assume that one year later (due to the fact that it takes on year for the Dragon balls to be restored) the events of the Sayin Saga take place.
This is one of the better DBZ movies (they all are great but) and in saying that I mean that it fits into the story line or mainstream universe (the others being Bardock, Coolers Revenge, and History of Trunks) while the other movies focus on a sub universe. Overall this is a must own for any DBZ fan or causal anime fan.
Grade: (C) Plus - Good fight Scenes.
