Dragonball Z Season 8

SCORE: 64

The Dragonball Z storyline is starting to wind down. Things rush toward the end at a breakneck speed in Dragonball Z Season Eight. The Z fighters rush towards the Wizard and Dabura to stop them from reviving Majin Buu. Vegeta winds up taking a walk on the dark side, then decides to take a heroes death later on. Buu gets revived and starts to decimate everyone. In fact no matter what is done to Majin Buu, he recovers. Two new heroes wind up emerging along with some new techniques. Fusion is the most notable. It is actually an annoying little thing. Dragonball Z Season Eight continues to put the faith, hope, and world saving abilities in the hands of children. Goku shows of Super Saiyan 3. Which is really cool looking. At least his hair.

The graphics in Dragonball Z Season Eight are at the same level as the previous seasons. There is some blood, and gore in this season like previous seasons. Majin Buu destroys a huge percentage of the population. He also injures and murders numerous characters. Dragonball Z Season Eight does contain some visual humor which will reach all ages. The violent content is certainly not for all ages though.

I am amazed at the arrogance and deceit of some of the characters in Dragonball Z Season Eight. Certain evil characters are more honest than some of the heroes. The music fits the theme, and enhances the watching experience. Majin Buu gets insulted repeatedly about his weight. There is a subtle message there about not insulting those who are over weight. Certain comments are meant for humorous effect, and have impact on the other characters.

There are thirty-four episodes on the six discs of Dragonball Z Season Eight. I spent a little over twenty dollars on Dragonball Z Season Eight. I am only watching these now to finish off the story. I want to see how it all ends. But I do not want to cheat by going straight to the end.

The storylines make little sense to me at times. Vegeta’s flip flopping is a perfect example. Sure he is not patient, but his actions only prove his lack of intelligence. Being a prince he should be a little smarter than that. Goku passing the torch to the young ones yet again is also a puzzling act. Babidi’s loss of control of Majin Buu was predictable. I just wish he had protected himself better. There are various topics families can discuss from Dragonball Z Season Eight.

The afterlife is shown in Dragonball Z Season Eight yet again. They have this odd version of it that makes no logical sense to me. Do not expect to see Jesus, God, or anything from the Holy Bible in this show’s rendition of the after life. I like how Buu decides to kill no more. Although there are few left, and I doubt his resolve will last long.
