If you loved Crying Freeman 1: Portrait of a Killer, try Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Daisuke Nishio, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Crying Freeman 1: Portrait of a Killer, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest is

You train in solitude, always striving to improve. But an old enemy returns with a vengeance, seeking the strongest body on Earth. The heroes face a bio-engineered nightmare. Nishio's film arrived at the height of Dragon Ball mania, and its villains reflect anxieties of a technology-obsessed era.
