If nothing else, Resurrection F highlights just how goofy Dragonball Z truly is at its core. I mean, look at the basic premise: one of the most iconic DBZ villains gets resurrected by the magical dragon Shenron, tries to find and kill his worst enemies - who are busy training under the tutelage of a pair of gods on another planet - and ends up attaining a form that turns him into gold while he does battle with blue-haired antagonists. Like I said: goofy. Following on from Battle of Gods , the plot of Resurrection F kicks off with former galactic tyrant Lord Freeza getting brought back to life thanks to the unfortunately-named Lord Sorbet (because every major Freeza-related villain, like King Cold, Cooler and Lord Chilled, has to be named after something frosty - next thing you know, Goku will be fighting King Esky and his apprentice, Lord Gelato). Freeza quickly sets off for Earth to smack around Goku and his friends, whilst Goku and Vegeta are off learning to be Super Saiya...

I think its safe to say that the universe of Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball was many peoples first exposure to the anime world. Amazingly, it still endures and even thrives despite its 1984 vintage. This is all thanks to the re-released manga, anime and most likely, a universe expanding series of games. The newest (and most exciting) of which is Namco Bandai's upcoming "Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Tenkaichi". Finally, you can become a part of the Dragon Ball universe and in only 1 week, no less!
