A review by vimcenzo
Dragon Ball (3-in-1 Edition), Vol. 4: Includes vols. 10, 11 & 12 by Akira Toriyama

3.0

(This may have just been my copy, but some of the pages were cut off, with incomplete page numbers or—worse—dialogue. This affected my amount of stars somewhat, although I maintain that it could have just been my copy.)

I almost feel bad rating these so high consistently, but they really are the balm at the end of a weary workday. No nostalgia for the series, but I’m becoming a fan, slowly but surely. At the end of this, I’ll be very fond of the whole experience. I might take a break before tackling Super, though.)

Not as much Bulma this time around, but more Pilaf. It almost sucks that the reputation of this series precedes it, as any character deaths are often transparent when their appearance in other media is so pronounced. Still, the intrigue is there! I want to see how they come back or what gets lost.

Stories are simple fun. Nothing special. Piccolo cuts an intimidating figure; a lot of villains so far were jerks or incompetents, so meeting Piccolo, you finally get the sense you can’t mess around anymore. Mfs are dying!
