  • By Far The Best Version of Season 1 of Dragon Ball Z.
This box set of Dragon Ball Z contains the entire Vegeta Saga. The Vegeta Saga makes up the first 39 episodes of Dragon Ball Z. The story of Goku and his friends from the classic show Dragon Ball continues with Goku finding out he comes from an alien race of fighters known as saiyans. Now his past has caught up with him and he and his friends must defeat these powerful foes or the people of Earth will face certain doom. This box is crucial for any collector of Dragon Ball Z as it introduces Vegeta, one of the most popular characters in Dragon Ball Z history. Specifically, the set has 6 discs and very little extra features, but any real fan of Dragon Ball Z will not buy this for extras. They will buy this for the excellent story, the great dialogue, the economic value, and of course the action. The way the discs are packaged is annoying, but you get used to it. I have heard much hype about how this set will ruin Dragon Ball Z because it is in Widescreen, but to be honest this is just not the case. Now I consider myself a true fan of Dragon Ball Z, and I am sad that you do lose some of the picture due to this, but most real fans will easily overlook the loss. I thought the Widescreen would cut much more picture than it actually did. By the second episode, I actually got used to the new look of the screen. The sound and picture are great, and you can hear the English dialogue with either Japanese or American music behind it, or you can hear the original Japanese version of the show. I enjoy listening in English, but with the Japanese subtitles on to spot where the dialogues differ, I find this to be very interesting. The English music for this set isn't as good as in others such as the Buu and Cell DVDs, but I still think it is better than the Japanese music, though I know my opinion on this matter is probably with the minority. One thing this set adds that I wish previous ones would have is the Marathon Mode. You can watch every episode on one disc one after another and see them as if they were one gigantic episode. You skip the opening and ending themes and the "Last time on Dragon Ball Z..." part. Of course, you can still watch these parts for every episode if you want.Another great thing about this set is the value. You get at least seven episodes on each DVD but the last, and to get the first 39 episodes of Dragon Ball Z for around $30.00, a price you could easily pay for 3 episodes(and I have), is just incredible. The key to buying this set is the show itself. Many of the other versions of this saga cut so much footage that they pack the entire saga down to only 25 episodes. This is a tragedy which has finally been fixed. A specific example is the episode called, "The Strangest Robot". This episode was never in the old translation, well most of it. This Saga has many wonderful and tragic moments including the first death of Goku, the first appearance of King Kai(and Vegeta as mentioned above), the awesome battle of Goku versus Vegeta, Gohan's training with Piccolo, and of course Piccolo's sacrifice. As mentioned above, another good thing about this set is the improved voices. When this show originally aired, I noticed the voices changed between the Namek and Freiza Sagas, but they have finally re-dubbed the first two sagas. Of course this is also the set's only down side to me. I already own many DBZ sets including the Cell Games, Majin Buu, and Fusion Sagas. If they re-release them with new dialogue, better sound, better picture, or for a better value or something I will feel like a fool and a bit annoyed. Personally, I hope they re-release upto and including the Frieza Saga, but my frustration only proves I am a true fan. This set is a great value, contains 39 episodes of what I consider to be the greatest action cartoon and anime of all time, and is for any true fan of Dragon Ball Z, or even someone who enjoys anime. ... show more

  • The beginning of DBZ
The first season of Dragon Ball Z, the beginning of the series, is in this reviewer's humble opinion, the best the show has to offer. Now, yes, this is saying quite a lot considering the show goes on for another 10 seasons or so, I'm not sure to be honest, but this is the first of many a story-line to follow and yet is to sum it up, more solid and believe it or not, realistic than all the seasons to follow. The beginning of DBZ had a definite carry-over from the creators previous series, Dragonball, which is essentially a part of the same story and plot. The carry-over includes characters, style, pacing and references to Dragonball's storylines. For instance, the character Launch, or the Indians at the bottom of Kurin's Tower. If you watch Dragonball and then Dragonball Z afterwards, it will add a lot to the viewing experience because you'll understand what the characters had to go through to get to where they are at the beginning of DBZ. You'll also understand the relationships between the characters and why certain things in the story are shocking to the characters - for instance, Goku having a reunion with his friends and bringing his son. Sadly, as Dragonball Z progresses, much of the initial style and emphasis is left in the dust. DBZ slowly becomes more of a show about energy levels and who is the strongest warrior in the universe, but that isn't really a part of Season 1 here and that's what makes this season one of the best. It has that great beauty and style that Dragonball had; there's still a respect from the characters towards martial arts, technique, mastery, concentration, etc., there's much more Japanese culture embedded in the story, and we're still in this future civilization or perhaps alternate universe where there are anthropomorphic animals in society and air-ships conveniently stored in pocket-able capsules that can be brought out in a jiff. There's even an appreciation for nature that's really evident in these episodes and sadly, once the show progresses into the 2nd and 3rd seasons, this style of story-telling is abandoned, which changes the show considerably. But to truly capture what I'm talking about, you have to watch the show subtitled so as to capture the original Japanese writing. It amazes me how much the American dubbing changed the meanings. It ruins it, to be blunt. So if you're interested in watching a show from the late 80's, early 90's, from a wonderfully creative mind that gives a Japanese perspective of a wild, dangerous world that can be overcome by warrior virtues - vision, courage, determination, confidence, discipline, etc... - that mixes humor, action and the drama of kill or be killed, then pick up a copy - and you gotta get it uncut. DBZ, seasons 1 and 2 are definitely two of the best Anime's ever made. ... show more

  • The way anime box sets should be .
Cropped or not , to get all 39 episodes of dragon ball z season one , on six dvd's , plus a booklet , for the price of a special edition dvd , is a once in an otaku life time event you shouldn't miss. Three aliens are bent on wiping out humanity so they could sell planet earth to other aliens .only goku and his friend , former rivals and archenemy can stop , or can try to stop these aliens . The plot may sound boring , but when it gets an akira toriyama treatment , you'll end up with a great adventure , full action , laughter , main characters dying, sexually aroused grumpy old men , main characters returning from the dead , berserked gorillas and funny looking vehicles . True , some fights are too long , but they're not boring and full of intensity . The box set is neatly designed in a fold in box that contains six cd's and a booklet that includes hero profiles , enemy profiles , episodes summaries and a short history of dragon ball z .five of the six cd's have seven episodes each and the sixth four plus an extra that has some trailers and a short making of the remaster video. The original Japanese dialogue is a lot better than the english dub . One of the best action comedy anime series out there . buy it before it's out of stock ... show more

  • Amazing!
This is one of the best anime series! This is the first season of the DBZ series where we meet for the first time the prince of all Saiyans, Vegeta! And the beginning of Goku as he becomes an even stronger warrior. It comes with the American voice actors and with the Japanese voice actors as well. You can even play the Japanese music with the English voice over, or just keep it with the American music. It's also a great deal because you get all of those episodes for a good price. If you are a DBZ fan you know that it was almost 20 bucks to get about 5 episodes but in here you get a whole season for 30 dollars! I've always wanted the whole DBZ saga and with these uncut editions I may just get them all and save some money! The episodes look even more amazing if watched upconverted to 1080p with the PS3(Blu-ray) player! ... show more

  • Perfect start to my favorite series!
Every disc played without issue. English diaglogue with original Japanese music 5.1 or US broadcast with US stereo or all original mono Japanese viewing options. This is the unedited with partial nudity, language and all that stuff (watched on English with 5.1 and they have the "Hell" on shirts with Vegeta 2 episode mess up). Only issue with the remaster is some transition scenes black screen - audio continues and it only black screens for a second. Happens funny enough at times it doesn't matter but it does happen a few times an episode. Dragon Ball seemed to come 4:3 standard but this series was remastered for wide screen so yes the picture is zoomed in some to prevent letter boxing...kind of annoying but works for full screen. Marathon feature is a god send and was so happy to relive this series from Tsunami days!! Every episode played without issue - so happy to add this to the collection!! ... show more

  • Amazing if you have an HDTV , still good without!
Well first, I would like to say that I own the COMPLETE original Dragonball Z DVD's that Funimation originally released. If you are wondering which to buy, then I will try to be of some help. This particular season, was re-released by Funimation, the voices were re-done to be that of the Frieza Saga and beyond (all of you may know that Vegeta and Goku's voices sounded kind of wimpy when Pioneer did them). There are episodes that were NOT released to DVD originally by Pioneer, and these are all un-cut. Now lots of people are saying that this is "cropped", I have yet to notice them, yes, you did lose some screen on the top and bottom, but have you ever tried watching the 4:3 format of DBZ on a HDTV? It looks awful, it is very pixel lated, and blurry and whenever they do a Energy blast, you can see freckles around it. If you have a Wide-screen TV and want these again, buy these, you will NOT be disappointed. The colors are amazing to say the least, and you cannot even tell that it is being cropped if you are watching it on a widescreen TV as I said before. Now if you still own a 4:3 TV and want DBZ, and HATE the black bars on the top and bottom of your TV, these may not be for you. ... show more
