Goku's son, Gohan, is now a man, and with an extraordinary young teenager named Trunks by his side, the two determine to face off against the threat. but as tragedy follows upon tragedy, the world around Trunks is fast collapsing and there seems no check to the evil of the Androids. This is the story of the future that never was.

Summary: Nice Story!
Comment: The story of Trunks and Bardock are two great side episodes. If you are a fan of Dragon Ball Z and you haven't watched this, you must get this. However do not watch this before Dragon Ball Z Season 4 Boxset. People who never watched Dragon Ball should start out with Dragon Ball Z Season 1 Boxset. In terms of format I can't say that there is an advantage between blu ray version over the dvd version. I didn't get a feeling I was watching blu ray but I guess I can't expect too much since this is a classic.

Summary: Is it a good buy?
Comment: I bought this item and found it a total disappointment. The reasons being, it's not HD Quality. Let me explain. I bought this expecting the same refining and color conversion as the previous 2 blu-ray releases. When I watched the "History of Trunks" there was a plethora of grain clouding the picture. The colors were not vivid. It did not even look as good as Season releases of Dragonball Z on Remastered Dvd. Keep in mind this is blu-ray, it's suppose to take it a step higher!


Now the second Movie feature "Bardock: Father of Goku" looked a lot better a ton of grain was removed but is not up to specks as the last 2 releases, but I can call it HD. Unfortunatly what dissappointed me the most was what the Blu-ray box said. If you have a chance to go to the store and look on the back cover of Blu-Ray box, you will see information on sound quality. You will see these selections:

*Dolby TruHD English 5.1 with Japanese Music

*Dolby TruHD Enigish 5.1 with U.S. Music

*Original Japanese

When you go to the see the setup menu The dolby TruHD with U.S. Music is not there instead you will see Stereo 2.0 . Also known as false advertisement.

How do you go from TruHD to Stereo that's like getting 10 cents instead of a dollar or a bike instead of a car. Come on! Yeah Japanese film masters (whatever!)

Overall they slacked off on this last prodject and if they keep it up I will boycott it.

Please your better off getting the Dvd Version and have an upconverter do the work for you.

If you don't believe me rent it!!!

If by some reason I got a bad copy somebody tell me Please!
