“Bojack Unbound” is a very entertaining instalment in the “Dragon Ball” franchise. Like many of the other films, I have to admit that would be hard to enjoy it if you were not very familiar with the series. This one in particular is notable because it has the focus on Gohan rather than Goku.

Set after the Cell Games with Goku still dead, Gohan and the other heroes of Earth join an intergalactic martial arts tournament. The winner gets to challenge Mr. Satan, the world champion martial artist. However, the extra-terrestrial contestants turn out to be space pirates determined to conquer the world.

It’s really nice to see Gohan be the main focus of the movie. It really helps to distinguish this one from many of the other “Dragon Ball” films out there. Goku does appear but he is in the afterlife with King Kai. You also get to see Krillin, Yamcha, Future Trunks, Vegeta, Piccolo and Mr. Satan. Some people do not particularly like him but I find Mr. Satan quite funny. The most significant problem I have is with the villains. The film is so short that they do not get a lot of screen-time and as a result, they feel very underdeveloped. I think that is a problem with a lot of the “Dragon Ball” movie villains. The animation on the characters is very good.

“Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound” has some great animation, some very entertaining and action scenes and a few amusing comedic moments. I just wish it was a little longer because it feels a little rushed. If you are a fan of “Dragon Ball” then I highly recommend that you check it out. If you are not really into the franchise, you may be baffled by a lot of the dialog so I suggest watching some of the episodes of the series first.
