"Nice"
It was pretty cool man, but I'm hoping that you'll use different hitting effects and some blast effects since I've been seeing those effects been used a LOT lately. Other than that I enjoyed it.

It's hard using different effects, some aren't that good. I'll try to find different ones though.

Anime Cliche' #131908...
...turning evil instantly makes a character more powerful, and causes their clothes turn black, for no other explainable reason other than they just "turned evil". It's true. It says so right here in the book. It's listed right next to the "Anime Armor Paradox" where-by a girl's protection is inversely proportionate to how much clothing she wears (IE: less is more), and the "Anime Makeup Cliche'", where by any girl that wears make-up in an anime will instantly be evil, a dominatrix and/or a slut. This also followed "Saturday Morning Cartoon Cliche'", where-by all characters must explain what they're going to do before doing it. (Hmm, I sense Goku over by that dark energy. I'd better go check that out instead of standing here talking to myself for a minute).
Curious ... why didn't he just wish for Goku to not exist. Must not be a very powerful all-wish-granting dragon if it can't make someone disappear, and instead can only make them evil for 36 hours.
Overall, animation was good, sprites were a bit blocky at times. Some of the sprites didn't fit the scenes, EG: you used the standing sprite for a lot of the mid-air action. Overall good job. Have definitely seen worse. However, "ZOMG X-TREME FITE SEEN!" flashes are, in and of themselves, cliche', since so many are done these days.

His clothes turning color was to be a representative of him turning evil (like Evil Ryu maybe?), along with his "slight" change in dialogue. This isn't perfect, but it's somewhat of a big stepping stone for me, so try not to down me too bad.
In the show, Shenron's powers are limited sometimes...besides this being my flash and being able to do what I want with it, I don't think Shenron can just wish someone to not exist. As for the 36 hours, I didn't want to turn him evil permanently as I wouldn't know how to end it then, so I came up with a random time limit and would try to work it as things went along.
Very enjoyable but....
It does need some work. Now I can't really say anything to critical since I can't animate that well. Overall your animations are nice a little choppy but its still enjoyable. One thing I did find a tad annoying was the fight at the end, when Goku or Piccolo was attacking in the air you used a sprite that was designed for them to be standing. Now I've never played the games you got the sprites from so I wouldn't know all the poses you could use. Another thing you could improve is backgrounds and scenery. For example the clouds where frozen, try making a motion loop to add some realism. As for scenery when something destroyed a wall it was cut perfectly flat, try to rough edges.
Overall its a nice movie, good job and can't wait for the next one.
Decent
This was pretty good I got to admit. I liked that you changed his outfit to Black, that was awesome! It would've been cooler if his eyes were red but, that's ok. Can't wait for the next eps.
