"Doragon bôru: Ossu! Kaette kita Son Gokû to nakama-tachi!!" or "Dragon Ball: Hey! Son Goku and Friends Return!!" is a more recent entry compared to the old Dragon Ball short films and the series, even if this one is also already 10 years old. Unfortunately I did not see this as a worthy revival of the franchise. The action was fairly random and the story as well as comedy didn't really do too much for me. I hoped this could have been better. Then again, I have never been the biggest DB or DBZ fan, so this is not really a big surprise. There were still moments I liked, but I don't think it should have run longer than 24 minutes max, the usual runtime for shows like this, maybe even only 21. I do not recommend it unless you are really a hardcore Dragon Ball" fan.

Nearly a decade after the last Toei animated anime comes a new anime of the title "Yo. Son Goku and His Friends Return." A really mesmerizing concept in its own respect, the youngest of the DBZ movie lives up to its hype and expectations. Not an extremely serious kind of movie like others, it was rather on the merrier side.Vegeta softened up beyond belief, the only villains in the movie not stronger than the kids Goten and Trunks, Vegeta's brother visits earth out of nowhere and King Kai visiting earth for the first time are some of the highlights of this movie.This movie is possibly one of those which concludes an immensely huge series with the title "And they happily lived ever after."

This was an awful special. I'm glad to see that they are trying to revive Dragonball Z. But, this was a mess. What were they thinking giving Vegeta a brother? What kind of wife does he have? (She better be able to transform or something) Honestly, they could have just made something like an evil kai attacks earth, or something..Some issues were: -Tarble could not be that young. It's impossible. He would have to be as old as Gohan, at least.-Tarble wasn't even surprised when Goku turned super saiyan.-Android 18 cannot sense power levels. She states this many times in DBZ, and GT.

Two years later after the Buu saga, the story revolves around Goku and company get invited to Mr Satans (Hercule if you've only seen the dub)banquet to have them all celebrate the defeat of Majin Buu. Later, Vegetas younger brother Table, and his wife (can't remember the name, sorry),warn Vegeta and Goku that a Brother Duo they fought is coming to Earth. When the villain duo arrive they are paired up against Goten and Trunks who are pretty much beating them, the Brothers then merge into a huge villain and Goten and Trunks have to fuse to beat him. Later the villain unleashes a deadly attack but it is stopped by all the Z Warriors (even Roshi and Yajirobe helped), and eventually the villain is defeated. All in all not one of the best things of the DragonBall franchise, but if you're looking forward to seeing something new at least, then give this film a watch. Hopefully this gets dubbed in time for the live action film, yeah yeah I know how much you all hate how it's looking.But I think it would be good marketing for the film if they did so.7/10
