Dragon Ball 29
Posted: December 29, 2007 Filed under: Dragon Ball 1 Comment »I kind of like the idea that the characters are having a hard time with the Androids because they can’t sense their life force. I also like that Goku winds up being crippled by his heart disease anyway, though you can smell the ploy to keep him away until the end of the battle a mile away.
What I don’t like is the fact that most of Dragon Ball Z seems to take place in what appears to be Arizona, regardless of whether or not things are taking place on Earth or Namek (well, to be fair, Namek had water), and whether it’s Freeza, Saiyans, or Androids that are being fought. It’s kind of sad, really.
I like that Yajirobe seems to have reappeared for no reason, too. I had read about an “error” on the spines of the books, but I don’t know that I would have noticed Yajirobe on there twice.
So yes, the fight with the Androids is actually kind of exciting and is holding my interest so far. I also like that the Red Ribbon Army was drug back into things for no reason. I suppose the length and variety of the fight will determine what I think of it in the end, because I have absolutely no foreknowledge of this part of the series.
