Summary: Awesome Season
Comment: I got this season and as soon as i started watching it i realized that i missed a few episodes back in the old days and maybe even forgot some and when watching this it was like if it was the first time seeing it and got to say that is an awesome feeling. I recommend to get all the seasons.

Summary: CREAMED AND CROPPED TO THE VERY TOP! (AND BOTTOM)
Comment: WOW! I DIDN'T KNOW PEOPLE IN THE ORIENT DIDN'T HAVE HEADS OR FEET. MAN, WHEN THE CRITICS SAID THAT THESE EPISODES WERE CROPPED, THEY MEAN THEY WERE CROPPED!!! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN A DRAGON BALL Z CARTOON AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THEY ZOOMED IN TO MAKE THE WIDESCREEN VERSION AS THE CHARACTERS HAVE NEITHER HAIR, NOR FEET. PLEASE FUNIMATION! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!!! JUST GIVE US THE CARTOONS IN FULLSCREEN. I WOULD RATHER HAVE A SQUARE PICTURE WITH BLACKNESS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT OF MY T.V. AND SEE EVERYTHING GOING ON THAN HAVE THIS FRUSTRATING CROPPING. SERIOUSLY. THE CROPPING WAS OVERDONE TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT THIS FIRST TIMER IS EXTREMELY ANNOYED AND AGGRIVATED. THE ONLY REDEEMING FACTOR THIS SERIES HAS FOR IT IS THE ENTERTAINMENT LEVEL IT PROVIDES MY DAUGHTER WITH AND THAT ELIMINATES MY ANGER TO SOME EXTENT. FOR THAT I'LL GIVE IT A 4. IF I WAS SINGLE WITH NO DAUGHTER, I'D GIVE IT A 3. IT'S ALSO GOOD TO HAVE THE MANGA ON HAND AS WELL TO FILL IN STORY-LINE GAPS WITH THE CARTOON AND GAMES.

Summary: Amazing!
Comment: 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!

Editorial Reviews:

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
