It makes me happy they are embracing the goofiness this part of the series. It doesn't try to take it self all that serious and just having fun and for me that is when Dragonball is at its best.
I agree with majority here that if you did not enjoy History of Trunks, then I do not see them enjoying the rest then maybe the more recent Dragonball films as the majority of them are kind of awful and have little to no connection with the the series itself.
I'm thinking the special episode is going to be The History of Trunks movie. Not only is it one of the better DBZ movies it clarify some back story of Trunks and his future.
I do hope they continue after Cell. Also, I think Dan would be a huge fan of Fist of the North Star. As for something a lot shorter and very entertaining and very dumb I highly recommend Black Lion if you can find a copy of it. It's usually what I show people who are new to anime as an introduction of how crazy and insane anime can be.
@shirogamer: I'm thinking that for as long of a video as it is, it may take while to process to be able to download, or something messed up when posting the video.
