"A Hero's Legacy" Review
Posted by Tapion on 11-22-2004 05:49
I picked up a DVD copy of DBGT: "A Hero's Legacy" yesterday. Here's what I thought:

OK, A Hero's Legacy is a toe-over to the "sentimental" side, which I don't usually go for unless I'm looking for that sort of thing.

It begins with a recap of the Baby Saga of GT, then goes 100 years later, where we find a near-century-old-Pan with her grandson, Goku Jr., at their anscestor Son Goku's graveside.

Next, Goku Jr. is at school, where he is confronted by his bully Puck. Then, at home, Pan gets sick and passes out. At the hospital, the nurse tells Goku Jr. his beloved grandmother is dying.

He goes on a rant, but finally he comes to the conclusion that he must go to Mt. Paoz where his anscestor Goku once lived nearly a century-and-a-half ago.

He meets Puck again along the way, who eventually joins him on his quest...


I won't give the rest away, but there is a girl who fights with her hear, some tag-team bears, a shapeshifting chicken (with a Texas accent), and a pig that shoots cannonballs from his body. Sounds like fun, heh. 


STORY 7/10
ACTION (weak) 4/10
HUMOR 9/10
OVERALL 6.6/10

Well, the score isn't that great, but I do advise buying it, just because it is a valid part in answering "post-GT" questions. Plus...is DB/Z/GT!!! So of course you'll have to buy it!
