Summary: DragonBall Z better then i imagend
Comment: What can i say about this that many others have said, well i do say that some of the voices aren't what i remember from watching them on TV but i do love that theses seasons are uncut, cause from some of the sences that were'nt on the TV are on theses DVDs which is way cool.
Also i would of relay loved to have had the orignial Theme they had on the Cartoon network version (Rock the Dragon) but this one not bad.
Overall I would gladly recomend this and the ohters to any Dragonball Z fan.

Summary: Continuation of greatness
Comment: Just like Season 1 box, this is great. There are a couple (non-important) scenes where cropping is noticeable, but hardly worth complaining about. If you're a DBZ fan who appreciated the first set, this set is worth adding to your collection.

Summary: Awesome Season
Comment: I would have to say this is one of my favorite seasons. I started on this season when i got into the dragonball series and had to wait till they went back to the first season to understand the whole thing. But man no matter how many times i watch this its never getting old. I would recommend to getting this and every other season.

Summary: Come on Ginyu! Wake up!
Comment: Let me take a brief moment to get something off my chest before I start the review. A little more than midway through we are introduced to the figure of Captain Ginyu and his ability to change bodies with other people. We know Ginyu can switch bodies, we know that Ginyu is aware of Frieza's superiority. Why doesn't he switch bodies with Frieza? Not only does he not switch bodies he apparently doesn't even consider it. He doesn't talk about he DOESN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. If I served under an almost godlike boss and I had to power to transfer bodies I certainly would consider the possibility of a switch. Either he is incredibly stupid or incredibly loyal or Frieza has some defense against a switch. Considering how much filler gets thrown out onto the screen I'm amazed there isn't an overly long bit of Ginyu imagining himself as frieza.
Oh well, now that I have said my piece on that topic I must say I enjoyed this season. Compared to the end of the saiyan saga the action is somewhat sporadic. The saga introduces Frieza, one of the most annoying villains of all time. He is an obnoxious effeminate buffoon. Clearly he is the most powerful being in the universe because if he wasn't he would be forcibly removed from his seat of power. However, Vegeta, who is recovering from his beatdown at the end of season one, clearly doesn't possess the same loyalty that Captain Ginyu does to his superior and plots rebellion, even though he seemingly has no chance of matching Frieza's power. His gambit? The dragonballs which he learned about while on earth. He heads to the planet Namek to obtain them. Of course, things are never easy for the Saiyan prince as his attempts to become immortal are thwarted by Krillin and Gohan who are there to get the D-balls to bring their dead friends back to life(are they ever used for anything else?) Much fighting begins when the Ginyu force is hired by Frieza who(like all good megalomaniac villains) refuses to do his own dirty work until he is left with no other option. Frieza's arrogance in the end is what bring's his downfall. But I am getting ahead of myself. This saga is not as epic as the next one but there is a little more variety and different adventures to be found. There is also a bunch of filler to be found but isn't that always the case. I think it's a great saga.

In the version that is shown on YTV in Canada the story begins mid-way through the Dragon Ball Z series. Raditz Gokuus brother has traveled to Earth to find out why Gokuu has not yet destroyed the planet as he was supposed to do. But while as a baby Gokuu was dropped (down a huge cliff) and forgot his real mission. Kakarot Gokuus real name battles his brother Raditzs along with former enemy Piccolo and friend Kurilin. Meanwhile Gohan; Gokuus son reveals his hidden powers against Raditz and nearly kills Raditz. However Gokuu is killed in the end but Raditz is eventually defeated by Piccolo. Before he dies he tells them that two evil-saiyans even more powerful then he is are on route to Earth. The remaining fighters Kurilin Yamcha Tein and Chatsu begin their training to battle the evil saiyans while Piccolo takes off with Gohan to train him in using his new found power. Meanwhile Gokuu has to make his way back on Snake Way to King Kais where he trains himself in the secret art of Kaoken. Can Gokuu make it back in time to help his friends?
