One of the most popular franchises in anime history, Dragon Ball began in 1984 as a manga by Akira Toriyama in Shonen Jump. Dragon Ball Z (1989), the second TV adaptation, is the most beloved: it ran for 291 episodes--more than Dragon Ball (1986) and Dragon Ball GT (1996) combined. Over the years, the program has introduced countless boys to the world of Japanese animation. The first season re-introduces the main characters and sets up a new threat. Goku learns he's not an Earthling, but a Saiyan from the planet Vegeta. Only three other Saiyans survive, all of them extremely powerful and destructive. Goku destroys Raditz with the help of Piccolo, but dies in the process. He spends much of the season training in the Other World with King Kai. Piccolo takes over training Goku's son Gohan, anticipating he will have to face the remaining Saiyans, Nappa and Vegeta. These episodes set the pattern for the combination of martial arts training, fantasy-battles and slapstick comedy that make the series so popular. The storyline rambles, with lots of digressions, repeats, and false endings--none of which bother the fans. Although Dragon Ball Z has been released previously in the US, Funimation pulled out all the stops for this edition. The entire series has been remastered from the original prints, and the Japanese language track is included for the first time. (Goku and Krillin have higher-pitched, younger voices than they do in the American dub.) For Dragon Ball Z fans, this version clearly supercedes all previous ones. (Rated TV PG. suitable for ages 8 and older: violence; minor incidents of risqué and toilet humor, ethnic stereotyping and alcohol use) --Charles Solomon |

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! |

Amazing visuals perfectly clean remaster!!! |
Dragon Ball Z - Season One (Vegeta Saga)
I received this set and watched it over the weekend and I must say that it is amazing what they have done. I remember watching the original version on T.V. when I was younger and this digital remaster is incredible. All of the graininess from the original is gone and you are left with a perfectly clear picture for every frame. The added original Japanese scenes not seen in the U.S. add so much to the novelty of the show. Not to mention being able to watch it with the original Japanese or remade U.S. musical score in the background. I must suggest this to any DBZ fan big or small these box sets are more than worth getting. I have already ordered all 5 seasons and will be looking for the rest as they come out and then to the G.T. series after that. |

Original US release audio? |
Funimation claim they have the original US broadcast, revised eng dub and original jp audio, which isn't true. they do have the original jp audio and revised eng dub but I'm sure we're all familiar with "IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND!!!!" amirite? well don't expect to see that on this set. I've played both eng dubs and they're both the revised version, only difference is one has jp bgm the other has us broadcast bgm.
(bgm = background music)
was also disappointed to find they don't have the "rock the dragon" opening on any of these sets. they have the "cha la" opening song for the jp audio but both english dubs have some corny rock type instrumental.
I'm still happy to watch DBZ all over again "uncut" and the cropping doesn't really bother me but it's far from perfect and a bit of a let down. why they couldn't just release them in full screen with the actual US broadcast audio I'll never know. my guess is they'll re-release them in full screen once the widescreen sell out. wouldn't put it past Funimation... |
