Dragon Ball Z - Season One (Vegeta Saga) 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 |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Great way to get into DBZ |
| I always kind of liked DBZ on TV but the linear nature of the show requires you to watch every episode in order. That's difficult on TV, but this DVD makes getting the full experience out of this saga easy and affordable.
I LOVE the marathon feature!! It takes you from episode to episode without the beginning, recap, upcoming episode info, and ending sequence. You seamlessly jump from show to show, making sitting down for a couple of hours very enjoyable. It still includes the mid-show ad transitions though. I've continued to purchase seasons two, three, and four and have been pleased with them as well. Waiting on season five to come out soon! |
