## Description

Product Description The Saiyans are coming! The last survivors of a cruel, warrior race, these ruthless villains have carved a path of destruction across the galaxy, and now they have set their sights on Earth. They will stop at nothing until they have the wish-granting powers of the seven magic Dragon Balls for their very own. With the fate of his family, friends and the entire human race hanging in the balance, Goku, the Earth's greatest hero, must rise to meet the approaching threat. As he prepares for the fight of his life, Goku embarks on an epic journey that will take him to other worlds, pit him against new and old enemies alike, and force him to confront the dark secrets of his own past. At the end of his path, the most powerful opponent he has ever faced awaits - the evil Saiyan Prince Vegeta! This Dragon Ball Season Set is the definitive collection! Digitally re-mastered in High Definition Transferred from the original Japanese film The complete season one - contains 39 episodes on 5 discs Over 900 minutes of action Revised English dialogue and original Japanese music Extra features include: Footage on the re-mastering The ultimate Dragon Ball Z - Collect them all! desertcart.com 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

Review: 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.
Review: 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.
