The story of Bardock gives you some nice background on the Dragonball Z saga. It pulls together all of the bits and pieces of Goku and Vegeta's past that were hinted at in the series, and puts them into an interesting story.

But what I liked most about this DVD is the bonus feature of the history of Dragonball Z. It's only 20 minutes long, so it skips around a lot, but after a brief explanation of the dragon balls it covers the story of Goku from the time we was discovered by his adopted grandfather up through Frieza's (second) destruction. It's a good way to get an overview of who Goku is, if you don't have the patience to watch the entire series (which even I will admit can get rather tedious at times).

Uninspired Anime on TV

This is anime that didn't motivate me to get the DVDs to see it again, even with extras. Though I do continue to follow some of the series on TV, just to see how bad they can get. I am not a mecha fan so they don't even get counted.
