Dragon Ball Z Movie 07: Super Android 13

Intro
Yet again, this is for Dragonball Z fans. If you don't ike the episodes I highly doubt you will like this movie and would waste your time reading on. If you do like the episodes, feel free to continue reading. If you have not seen Dragonball Z t all then I recommend watching it first, atleast up to the end of the Android / Cell Saga, this kind of fits in with it.

Story
The story of this is basically the most powerful android Dr Gero has created (that they have seen so far) and yes you guessed it..they have to kill it, the action is pretty much right the way through the film it gets moving pretty quick. It's pretty much an hour of combat.

Animaton
The animation wasn't bad, nothing special, the typical Dragonball Z animations.

Sound
As this is a movie and most movies d have, for Dragonball Z. The sound was better than the series but not the best from the movies.

Characters
Same as you'd expect from Dragonball Z. Won't explain it more as I really don't think you will enjoy this movie if you did not like Dragonball Z.

Enjoyment
This was my second favourite Dragonball Z film and I have watched this various times. read more

You know, before I watched any Dragon Ball Z, I often imagined how bad the franchise could be, given its less than favourable reputation. I decided to download some of the Dragon Ball Z movies partly out of curiosity and partly to watch something that wouldn't require much concentration when I'm eating dinner. This is the first one that I watched. Having seen it, I have to say it did not disappoint. In other words, it's as bad as what I was expecting and did indeed provide something to watch that require near zero concentration.

"Super Android 13" has lame jokes, bad voice acting, and worse of all, a storyline that could have been written by simpletons: Robots programmed to kill Goku. That's it. Seriously! It's a pretty poor effort even for an action film. There's practically no character development (or even characterisation) to speak of, and barely any dialogue, just continuous battling. But since it's an action anime, it would have been redeemable if the action is even half decent. Alas, it isn't. It's ridiculously unimaginative, and follows the usual hero keeps powering up till he wins patterns with impressive faithfulness. If there's anything that I hadn't seen before, it's the ultra-fast-exchange-of-blows style battles... but the movie used it so much (like 90% of the time) that by the time it finished I was already bored of it.

*sigh* I can see why this "movie" is only 45 minutes long. It would be hard to make anything longer than this with the kind of material that this anime has to work with. read more
