A pretty nice fire safety video, loving how educative this is :D

A pretty nice special in general! Just loved the special editions of the OP in both specials :p

This was better than the Traffic Safety special. At least Goku isn't retarded in this one.

Lol this was even stupider than the previous, but whatever :). 4/10

Considering that these were made for separate reasons from the series it's not bad.

I actually didn't like this one quite as much as the traffic safety one.
This one didn't have as much story surrounding it, it was just fire safety rules one after the other.
Still, it was kind of cool to see everyone dressed up in fire brigade gear.
Also, the kids telling their parents to quit doing unsafe fire stuff was pretty funny, especially with the dad who was smoking in bed, lol.
He was just like o_o

Not a total waste of time, but more of an educational video than the first one.

Another awesome episode! Good lesson on fire safety! I like how Goku, Muten Roshi, Yamucha and Kuririn are part of the Fire Brigade. This was pretty cool, it was funny and educative. Both specials were epic! And the ending song was really good!

fire safety must have been a big issue for japanese youth in the late 80s; really specific

Again, simple yet effective for the young children audience. Even I found these to be educational for me. They were quite charming in their simplicity.

Ah, Goku isn't the naive one this time. This one felt very forced, however. These specials were fine for what they are, but that's basically it.

Wtf, they didnt even try to have a coherent storyline this time. They also completely changed where Bulma lives and what her cat looks like. Felt longer than the first one even though its shorter.

After being impressed with how entertaining the previous one was, I'm disappointed that this was basically what I feared these specials would be like. Hearing Goku just lecturing kids about fire safety rules felt rather OOC, and there really isn't much semblance of Dragon Ball in here, like they have the cast but their isn't much to them. Again, Goku doesn't seem like the guy to give a point-by-point breakdown on firework safety, and the rest of the cast doesn't get much. The one bit of them in here is Roshi excitedly trying to catch Bulma until Yamcha knocks him away. Both specials are just using the cast to deliver these messages but in the previous one they tried to integrate the world of Dragon Ball into here. There was a separate plot for it, the cast had a chance to showcase their personalities. This just feels like they're throwing the characters into a typical PSA scenario. Minus the power-pall, you can substitute any series in here and it'd work just as well.

There were positives of course. In terms of education, sure it worked for that but in terms of entertainment value, the kids giving their parents shit for not being fire safe was funny, and they still have the altered OP with a brand new fire safety lecture. That's a going above & beyond step I rather appreciate.

I kinda wish these were separate entries because I would've given the first episode like a 7/10, but I'm feeling like a 4/10 for this one. The mean of that is 5.5/10, so on the borderline between 5 & 6, I'll go with a 6, entirely because I do appreciate the altered OP's. If they didn't have those, I would've settled with a 5/10.
