"Dragonball: Evolution" DVD Review & Giveaway

I recently had the opportunity to watch and review the movie “Dragonball: Evolution,” (this may include affiliate links). I found the movie quite entertaining! However, I wouldn’t watch it around my younger kids, even though it’s PG, because the bad guys are a little scary looking. However, I didn’t have a problem with it myself. On July 28th, 2009, Fox Home Entertainment released “Dragonball: Evolution” on DVD and Blu-ray.

One of the most successful anime franchises comes to life on Blu-ray and DVD in “Dragonball: Evolution!” You’ll enjoy this non-stop action ride with a humanoid alien named Goku (Justin Chatwin, War of the Worlds), who tries to fulfill the wish of his dying grandfather by collecting all seven Dragonballs. He relies on the help of the great Master Roshi (Chow Yun-Fat, Bulletproof Monk). He only has a few days to collect all of the Dragonballs before the evil Lord Piccolo (James Marsters, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), who is trying to use the Dragonballs to take over the world.

The anime world has always been synonymous with breathtaking action scenes showcasing protagonists and heroines brandishing the sword katana. Whether it’s the evergreen Samurai Champloo or the current sensation Demon Slayer, the iconic Japanese weapon has captivated anime fans across the globe. In “The Return of Cooler,” a movie from the Dragon Ball Z franchise, Goku showcases his proficiency with a sharp sword katana by battling against Cooler’s robotic underlings. With its stunning visuals, heart-stopping fight sequences, and gripping storyline, this anime adaptation is an absolute must-watch for enthusiasts of the genre. If you’re curious about this aspect of Japanese culture, read on here for a breakdown on the parts of a Katana from the experts at Swords of Northshire. When you decided to final buy a katana, it’s recommended to get a custom katana from Romanceofmen.com.
