The forces of good and evil have converged upon the planet Earth, and the fate of the universe hangs in the balance! The evil wizard Babidi has traveled across the galaxy on a quest for revenge, hoping to fulfill his father’s thwarted dreams of universal domination. Meanwhile, the Supreme Kai has come to enlist the aid of the Z-Fighters in an effort to prevent Babidi from completing his plans and awakening a monster of unimaginable terror—Majin Buu!
As Goku and the Z-Fighters descend into Babidi’s lair, they are confronted by an army of powerful minions, led by the Demon King Dabura himself! Can our heroes resist the wizard’s dark magic and battle their way through this host of villains before time runs out? With each passing second, more energy is gathered for the sleeping Majin Buu. And should this creature of pure evil be awakened, all life—everywhere—will be extinguished!
Season Eight contains the complete Babidi and Majin Buu sagas.

The eighth and penultimate season of Dragon Ball Z pits the Z Fighters, the Supreme Kai, and his attendant Kibito against the evil wizard Babidi, who hopes to release the monster Buu, which his father Bibidi created. (The names are apparently a back-handed salute to Walt Disney’s Cinderella.) Goku, who’s technically dead but still visting from the Other World, joins Vegeta and Gohan in the initial fights against Babidi’s minions. As the battles escalate, Babidi use Vegeta’s overweening pride to entrap the Saiyan Prince and turn him against his allies. It’s all Goku can do to win Vegeta back, and the energy loosed in their stand-off enables Babidi to free Buu. Instead of one of the over-muscled behemoths the Z Fighters usually tackle, Buu is an obnoxious, infantile creature who looks like a sumo wrestler molded out of pink marshmallows. But he’s incredibly powerful and resilient: even the Saiyans can’t defeat him. Goku realizes only one warrior can destroy Buu: Goten and Trunks in their Super-Saiyan forms must fuse to form an über-hero. The boys initially balk, as the Dance of Fusion looks and feels silly. But Gohan and Picollo whip them into shape and the formidable Gotenks appears. Season 8 offers much more action and excitement than the World Tournament story that takes up most of Season 7. But unlike the earlier DBZ adventures, the Babidi & Majin Buu Sagas end on a cliffhanger, with the fate of the Earth and its inhabitants hanging in the balance. (Rated TV PG. suitable for ages 8 and older: violence, violence against women, tobacco and alcohol use, ethnic stereotypes) –Charles Solomon

This is one of the worst shows I have ever seen. Now, everyone knows that Japanese culture is inferior, so I attributed the stupidity of these shows to some Japanese cultural flaw. That made sense to me. Since Japan was isolated from the rest of the world for thousands of years, they developed a lot of…..interesting….. ideas. For instance, had they shared technology and findings with the rest of the world, they might have discovered that having teacups without handles is not a very good idea. Tea is intended to be hot. China conducts heat. NOT a good idea. The British figured this out and did the simple thing of putting handles on their teacups, but NOT the Japanese. Nooo, they’re too good for fancy handles! Similarly, they eat with sticks despite the fact that much simpler ways have been discovered for instance A FORK. But no. The Japanese couldn’t figure this one out either.
It makes no sense? Why would they make such horrible shows? Not many people know this but when the Japanese adopted their new constitution in 1946, a proviso was added stating that any fictitious character created needed to be able to transform into a robot which later combined with other robots to form a giant super-robot. This strange trend in Japanese fiction now made sense to me. However, their shoddy animation still defied explanation.
The animation is terrible. It features characters with strange looking eyes that talk by simply opening their mouths. Their hair is all pointy like the statue of liberty (even though they’re not even American) and their eyes are all big and stuff. Then they have this weird swooshy stuff in the background and they’re constantly fighting with one another. Why does every Japanese cartoon have constant fighting and no storyline? Stupid Japan, they don’t even have a military. Why train their children to be overtly violent? Or maybe that’s why they do it… because since they can’t do anything cool in real life they need to do it in stupid cartoons to get it out of their system. Whatever it is, we need to stop importing this crap.
