A MUST see for any Dragonball Z fan!

I first saw this movie at Suncoast while I was at the mall with my friend (the new English title is "Bojack Unbound"). I finally bought it on DVD after two weeks of debating whether or not to buy it. And boy am I glad I did! This is one of the best Dragonball Z feature movies ever made, much better than the 4th one, "Lord Slug". It's got a lot of fighting as well as humor, a great plot, and the villain's pretty cool, too. And best of all, it fits perfectly into the DBZ storyline. I think it takes place right after Goku fights in the Other World Tournament. Goku probably got stronger after fighting in the Tournament because he didn't even go Super Saiyan when he punched Bojack in the face in order to save Gohan after he teleported from the Other World to Planet Earth and I think Bojack was at least as powerful as Cell. Too bad he couldn't regenerate himself like Cell could, otherwise Gohan would have had a tougher time beating him at the end. The only thing I didn't like about this movie was I thought it wasn't long enough (only 50 minutes). There was such an interval in the storyline between the Cell Saga and the Great Saiyaman Saga that if the animators had thought about it, they could have given Bojack and his henchmen their own Saga. But that's alright, nobody's perfect. Anyways, if you're an avid Dragonball Z fan or even a beginner fan, please go out and buy this movie (try at Suncoast or Best Buy) or at least rent it from somewhere. I doubt you'll be disappointed.
