Product Description

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

Classic November 17, 2008
If you grew up watching this show as a kid like I did, you'll love the dvd set. Don't expect a lot of extras or behind the scenes stuff--what is there is pretty boring. But as a person who does not do anime, this was a great buy and I'm planning on getting the other seasons.
 It is Dragonball Z remastered, what more do you ask for? November 15, 2008
All the Dragonball Z shows on disks with no commercials, and its digitally remastered, why have you not bought it yet?
Bloody Amazing November 11, 2008
Wow, the digitally remastered version has so many extra scenes/episodes.
Definitely a great buy. This season is one of the best in Dragonball Z and I will never get sick of it.
Really good buy, Amazon has cheap prices but quality goods, even through standard shipping I got my goods within two and a half weeks and thats on the other side of the world!

let's get one thing straight i am sick and tired fo people b@#&ing about the widescreen crap graaaa get the hell over it you can baraly notice it let me tell you somthing i've seen the original episodes back in the 90's this is NOT CROPPED forget everything you read about people going "aaaaa it's cropped a a a aaa waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh" ok now that that's taking care of on to the review
dragon ball z was like every boys favorite show back in the day casue the had never been anything like it before up until then. i remeamber waching it on Tonnami when i was like 11 or 12. anywho when i found out that they where brining back the old episodes on seessaon box sets i was totaly pumped up. the first thing i noticed about the box set was that it was in HD "very nice" plus you could hear the original japanese music over the english dialuge "very very nice" or you could hear the whole show straigh up in japanese or english. the characters looks like they where back in that season "Goku's head likes kind of thin" and Piccolo is a darker shade of green" now there is one thing that steams my noddles about this and that is why it dosn't get 5 starts. for some reason they decied to NOT use the original voces for some "if not all" the characters like when you hear vageta he sounds like he does in the cell/majin buu sagas. that is not cool. also some of the dialoge has been changed which i think is very very stupid. well you be the judge but i thank we can all agree tha dbz rocks its only comparasion is naruto believe it
Great product October 13, 2008
Extreamly impressed, great quality! and amazing value too, with 6 discs (a total of 39 episodes) a must buy for any die-hard DBZ fan!!!.
