Summary: And You Thought You'd Seen The Last Of Garlic Jr.?
Review: After the awesome climax of the Frieza Saga, the DBZ writers decided to slow things down, with what can best be called "filler episodes." And this is precisly what the Garlic Jr. Saga was. Not to say these episodes were not enjoyable, but compared to villians like Freiza, Cell and the Androids, little Jr. just doesn't cut the mustard. Anywho, this short saga brings back Garlic Jr., the only villian in the DBZ universe to both survive a DBZ movie and to be granted immortality from Shenlong, The Eternal Dragon. He somehow escapes the Dead Zone and has returned to Earth to exact his revenge on Kame and Goku! Garlic, with his henchmen the Spice Boys (that's right!) release the Black Water Mist upon the Earth turning all who breath it evil. The Z fighters must confront Jr. and his henchmen to stop this evil plague. At the time I'm writing this review, the DVD hasn't come out yet, but if it's as well done as the Androids, Trunks and other DVDs with the original Japanese voice and music plus subs, then it should be worth getting, especially if you're a DBZ completist (like me!).

Summary: The Imortal Tyrant is Back
Review: Garlic returns from the Dead Zone to take revenge on the world. After taking Kame and Mr. Popo into his custody, Garlic Jr. releases the Black Water Mist on the earth. BWM will make anyone who breathes it become evil. Fortunetely, Gohan, Kirlin, Maron and Ickarus avoid it. However, the rest of the Z fighters attack them. Gohan, Kirlin nd Maron escapes while Picollo fights the rest and gets bitten. After dropping Maron off at Yagerboi's place, Gohan and Kirlin proceed to Kami's lookout with Picolo and Garlic's henchmen awaiting them. This is a real great volume, however you might wanna keep the kids away from the uncut version. There are plenty of scenes from the DBZ movie Dead Zone to help explain if you've never seen the movie. Anyway, a great volume with great action.

Summary: Disregard...
Review: Hehehe...ehehehe...oops.When I first wrote a review of this tape, I was a bit of an insane dubbie, and I thought that anything DBZ was good. Looking back on it now, I realize how wrong I really was. These episodes are pointless; the entire Garlic Jr. arc is filler, padding out space between the Freeza saga and the first appearance of Trunks. Even though the lesser characters get more screen time, the fight scenes are mostly uninspired, and the entire arc feels like it should have lasted half as long as it did (if even that). This volume really isn't worth getting, even on DVD...
So, do yourself a favor and just skip over these episodes, okay? Okay.

Summary: A horible DBZ movie
Review: I own this movie and every DBZ movie that is out in America and ive seen all of the Cell games in English edited. I would have to say this is the worst movie i have seen and the same with the rest of the Garlic Jr. saga. I only bought it becuase i plan on buying all of the tapes. But if your not like that and you just want some good tapes get the sayian saga or androids to cell. I would have to say the best part in this movie is when Vegita is on other planets looking for Goku but that is very short. Don't get me wrong I love DBZ i just do not like this saga at all.

Summary: Pimp Muten Roshi
Review: I read many reviews of the Garlic Jr. episodes - both good and bad. In my oppinion i think these episodes are closer to the stuff you would get in Dragon Ball rather than being Dragon Ball Z. The only consequence of getting it is, you have to watch it in Japanese and read subtitles. That is the only way to watch a DBZ unless you actually know japanese or are japanese. The episodes are a breath of fresh air after watching the Frieza saga drag out (not saying that I didn't like seeing Frieza transform a gazillion times or liked waiting 9 episodes for 5 minutes to pass and Namek to explode). Garlic Jr. and the Spice boys are not the sinister villians usually served up in DBZ but they will suffice because the real treat to this is.....Master Roshi getting back to his dirty ways. The parts where Roshi tries to pick up on Krillin's girl are fantastic schtick that i think DBZ lacks a lot of times. Nothing beats Muten Roshi trying to cop a feel here and pafu pafu over the female anatomy. Plus this DVD sets up for Gohan vs. Cucumber....i mean Piccolo fight. Black Water mist rules then! Very good stuff here ......well at least to me.

Summary: Not the best but alright
Review: I was excited to see this because I was getting bored with the Frieza Saga. It wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. There were some funny parts in it. As much as I hate Krillin I was glad to see he got a girlfriend, even though she was a little strange. Garlic Jr wasn't impressing at all. Even though I own this I wouldn't recommend this for everyone. If you aren't pleased with this tape don't ditch the whole saga. The other two tapes are better.

Summary: showing what their up against
Review: the 3 episodes on this mainly go about explaining how bad the black water mist is and what gohan, krillen, and piccolo are up against. it also leaves you on the edge of your seat, because the last episode ends when gohan and krillen find out that piccolo was infected by the black water mist, meaning gohan and krillen will have to fight garlic jr., the spice boys, and piccolo.
