The folks at Toonami are looking to have some fun with the Fourth of July weekend by bringing out a mini marathon of Dragon Ball Z beginning on Midnight of July the 4th. They’ll be doing six episodes in a row of the show before going into more Attack on Titan, and it’s pretty smart programming overall since just a few thousand fans will be Anime Expo and up late at night, making it a fun room party to turn on the classic and participate vocally – but not too loudly – with it. Check out the promo that was captured and posted online.
Plot concept: The Saiyans are coming!
The last survivors of a cruel, warrior race, these ruthless villains have carved a path of destruction across the galaxy, an now they have set their sights on Earth! They will stop at nothing until they have the wish-granting powers of the seven magic Dragon Balls for their very own.
With the fate of his family, friends, and the entire human race hanging in the balance, Goku, the Earth’s greatest hero, must rise to meet the approaching threat. As he prepares for the fight of his life, Goku embarks on an epic journey that will take him to other worlds, pit him against new and old enemies alike, and force him to confront the dark secrets of his own past. At the end of this path, the most powerful opponent he has ever faced awaits: the evil Saiyan Prince Vegeta!
This new Blu-ray edition has gone through a frame-by-frame restoration process to remove any blemishes, tape marks, and foreign bodies from the film. All three audio tracks have been re-mastered in the interest of noise reduction and superior sound quality, and the colors are bolder and more vibrant. Lastly, a precise shot-by-shot reframing of the entire series was done to create a modern HD widescreen presentation!
