| Okay, so you're reading my review for 'Dragonball Z: Super Android 13'. I enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed anime and especially those who enjoyed the action genre of anime. There are some comedic moments to break up the action in this anime so it doesn't get monotonous. Of course, if you don't like the Dragonball Z series, you probably shouldn't be bothering with this movie. The box says it's rated 13 and up and it's my opinion that's it's more than safe to allow kids to watch this anime. It's relatively tame stuff. Anyways, this DVD release of the movie contains 3 uncut versions, one of them being the original japanese version with subtitles. This is a big bonus because I absolutely hate it when they edit and cut anime. The anime itself is about 46 min. according to the box. Well, that's about it. If you want to know what this movie is about you should look up a synopsis of it. If you're not a Dragonball Z fan, I would say rent it before you decide to buy it (I bought it and I'm not unhappy, but I'm a DBZ fan and you might not be.). |

| Action and story wise, this is easily one of the better movies. My only b**** about it is that it lacks those killer soundtracks. Other wise this one is one of the top 5. Action from beginning to end, who doesn't like that? And who cares if the androids talk or have a country accent. Android 13 was funny as hell. And in my opinion unless your japanese and dont understand english, why watch that version anyway. Goku sounds like a b****. |

This is one of the most action packed DBZ movies. You get lots of action. However, like most DBZ movies there are errors in stories that prevent it from ever happening. This is one story that truly fits in the "What IF" category. This could not have happened and you can see it for yourself.
The android menace is still running rampant and they target Goku again. An all out brawl takes place involving all of the Saiyans. The ending was pretty good too.
Alot of people complain about the voice acting. I don't have a problem with it at all and thought Android 13 was funny. The soundtrack is pretty weak, don't expect what you got in Coolers Revenge or Bardock.
This is a decent movie that should appeal mostly to diehard fans. |

This movie was highly bastardized by Funimation.
Its a good movie, its just been tampered with by Funimation in many annoying ways. Hardcore and Real fans of the series won't enjoy it too much. Casual fans will eat it up, but thats cool, because its a very entertaining flick.
I give it 3 stars. Because I like the movie, but had trouble watching it in English. When I switched tot he Japanese I realized the subtitles were highly inaccurate as you will read further. And thats what hurts the score of this movie.
And what shall follow is my gripefest. with some light spoilers near the end..
Dialogue was added in many scenes where there was none spoken in the original japanese version. Or the dialogue was changed.
I understand enough Japanese to know the dubbed script and subtitles didn't fit much at all.
And this is truly sad too. The subtitles are a scripted version of the dub script. and thus do not fit as translations to the Japanese version if you watch it that way. Highly unjust.
It is funny sometimes though. Subtitles will keep appearing during silent moments if you watch the japanese version, and you realize that Funimation made their own dialogue and script for the movie.
The subtitles should have been a translation of the Japanese dialogue. That is what they are there for.
Also, Super Android 13, never speaks in the japanese version, but in the dub, anytime he is faced away from camera, or you can't see his face off camera, they add dialogue for him or others. Why?
And what is with the ridiculous redneck trucker voice for android 13? I understand that he does appear that way, but is that so neccessary? They also had him call goku "plum loco" thats just ridiculius. why not just use the actual dialogue, correctly translated. I really Hate Funimation.
The Music was ok as far as DBZ goes. Not as Techno or Rock n Roll as they do it for the series or other movies. They have gotten better with that.
Here is a perfect example of a non translation. (Spoiler Alert)
When Android 13 is being killed by the Spirit Bomb or Genki Dama if you prefer it, he is screamign out "Son Goku!"
in the subtitles and dub, he is yelling out something along the lines of "You must die"
Also people mentioned the fish joke at the end of the movie. That is another one of those added thigns where nothign was really being said. Much the same way they gave Dr. Gero's computer a voice. Unneeded dialogue added for no real reason, other than the fact that they can... |

| This was one of the more enjoyable ones I've seen. I mean, Brolly: The Legendary Super Sayain is okay but the action is too slow and Brolly and it is obvious that the Z fighters don't stand a chance against him. But this is one of the better movies. The action is very well done in this movie and the sight of three Suepr Sayains at once is a real treat since they practically only show one or two people going Super Sayain at a time in the series. Okay, here's the coolest ending I've ever seen (next to Gohan totaling Cell and Goku totaling Kid Buu). Goku gathers in energy to form a Spirit Bomb but does not have enough energy to destroy Super Android 13 with it. So he goes Super Sayain but since he can't form the Spirit Bomb with an evil heart he absorbs it and it makes him pure. Then Super Android 13 is standing on the ground but it is destoryed and he is standing on a little platform that is destroyed as well. Then he tries to punch Goku twice but only injures himself. Then he tries to punch Goku again but this time Goku grabs his fist and plunges his right arm into Super Android 13's gut and blows him up completely. And it's awesome because the area around Goku is golden and shiny (Mmm...shiny *drools*). The camera shows you a close up of Goku with the absorbed Spirit Bomb. He looks as though he is about to bite someone's head off (I do not lie). Overall this is a great movie... but I must warn you all, STAY AWAY FROM THE AWFUL JAPANESE VERSION! The music doesn't fit the appearance of the Androids and the voices are T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E! And the Japanese voice of Goku is the same of Gohan and Goten. I ought to hunt down whoever did those voices and kill him. Anyway, just stay away from the evil Japanese version because Goku is a guy! Not girl (Goku is voiced by a woman in the Japanese series). |

| I thought this movie was OK, but the ending was no good. The movies should be at least 2 hours long so we can get a little bit passed the typical "Vegeta gets his butt kicked and Goku uses same old technique to beat invincible bad guy" story. But I am posting this to say that one of the below reviewers said that Goku's screams were best in the Japanese version. It must have been sarcasm because Goku sounds like a little school boy when he's screaming in the Japanese version. What's so hard core about that? Not to mention the horrible 60's Godzilla music that comes along with the Japanese version. Ugh. HOrrible. Only thing the Japanese version has is a few swear words here and there.... but it's not worth sitting through 60 minutes of monotonous voices that detract from the true DBZ potential. I think I'll stick to the English dubbed version where Goku sounds like a man and Vegeta doesn't sound like an onld Japanese guy trying to sound tough. I'm going to watch the Japanese version of Goku going SS for the first time. GOku sounded like a maniac losing it when he was transforming in the enlgish version. I wonder how he'll sound in the Japanese version. My guess is that there will be Godzilla music in the background from the early 1960's with Goku making a "kkkk-kkkkkk-kkkkk" sound from his throat. Yawn. |
