Those early films gave birth to an animated television series called 'Dragon Ball Z,' a cult phenomenon that focused on the adult lives of Toriyama's beloved characters. The original 'Dragon Ball' films were based on an '80s Japanese manga of the same name created by artist/writer Akira Toriyama. Still, I can't deny the series' immense popularity. Simply put, colorful costumes and energy blasts just don't do it for me - instead, I tend to dig the dark, brooding neo-Tokyo brand of Japanimation. I should preface my review of this Blu-ray disc with an admission: although I'm a huge anime fan, 'Dragon Ball' has never been a particular favorite.
