Dragon Ball Z Season 1 [DVD]

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.

Dragonball Z Season 1It is called the Vegeta Saga but it really should be called the Saiyan Saga because Goku learns his origins from his past from his older brother, Raditz and King Kai. Another reason is that two Saiyans, Nappa and Vegeta, come to Earth to take it over which results in an epic battle.The one thing I just can't understand is how Raditz can have power level of 1,200. It is just so small even for a Saiyan! Like all Saiyans, they grow up and train on Planet Vegeta, which has 10 times Earth's gravity plus all the work that Freiza gave to the Saiyan race. Looking at Raditz he would probably be in his early 30s. I would understand if he had a power level of maybe 6 or 7 thousand.This is the largest season of all with 39 episodes. It has a lot of different things happening leading up to the Saiyan battle. There are quite a few boring episodes, like `The Strangest Robot', `Plight of the Children', `A New Friend'.The `Terror On Arlia' was a good episode and it showed what Saiyans are truly capable of.In the booklet, it says that Vegeta and Nappa first appeared in Episode 11 `Terror On Arlia' but they actually appeared in episode 5 `Gohan's Rage' just after Raditz is defeated, Vegeta & Nappa are on a distant planet making plans to travel to Earth to wish for eternal life.The Piccolo cover shot for Season 7 should be on Season 1 because it fits into what happened during Season 1.The other Z Fighters who take part in the Saiyan battle could have won the battle even without Goku. Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu & Krillin train in the Pendulum Room and out on top of the Lookout, which would explain their power levels being equal or just stronger to that of a Saibamen. As Kami says `These men are full of fire but it's still not enough'. Kami should know that the Hyperbolic Time chamber is still there on the Lookout.Also, this is the last season that Launch appears in.It is a pity that all the people that Nappa killed (East City, the reporters & journalists and the people in the military and the other city) weren't brought back to life through the dragonballs. Nappa was fierce and I felt he could of turned up the intensity and gone completely berserk,which Brolly excels at, and when Vegeta kills Nappa, I did feel a little sorry for Nappa but then again he kill thousands of people on Earth. I think, Piccolo had to die because it would have given Goku, Krillin, Gohan and Bulma a reason to travel to Planet Namek. Also letting Vegeta go was also a right thing to do because he killed Qui, Dodoria, Zarbon, 4 Ginyu Force members and lots of Freiza's guards. If Krillin killed Vegeta with the sword back on Earth, Goku would have came and only fought Cui, Dodoria, Zarbon, 4 Ginyu Force members but not killed them. Thanks to Vegeta's ruthless side, he destroyed those henchmen who would have been responsible for killing thousands of innocent people from other planets. Having them gone just meant they couldn't kill any more people.The fight between Goku and Vegeta was great! Goku's Kaioken Attack made for good watching. And having Vegeta transform into the Giant Ape was an added bonus. Looking at what Vegeta did to Goku in the Giant Ape state meant that Goku could of died a second time. Goku's body was crushed when Vegeta stamped on his legs, squeezed his body and crushed his body with his hands and Goku over exerted himself with the Kaioken Attack.The other thing I can't understand is that battle went on for 2 days. Goku tells Master Roshi that he will arrive a day later. It should have been 2 days for Goku to get back to the Check In station in Other World since the trip on Snake Way is 10,000 miles long and he is in another dimension. On Earth, the fighting should have gone for the entire day starting about 8am and finishing around 6:30 to 7pm.Overall this is a good season. Just a few episodes before the Saiyan battle can be boring. I rate it 4 out of 5.

Selecta Vision corrigió los errores de esta versión en Septiembre del 2014. Yo la compré en Enero del 2015 y a pesar de que amazon ha ido renovando stock siguen enviando la versión con fallos en caratulas y discos. La versión que pone interga también lleva un pequeños error en los discos. Para que sea la versión correcta con ambos fallos corregidos, debería poner integra. Si no te importa estos detalles en lo demás todo correcto.

So jeder Dbz fan hatt schonmal die Dbz games ihn der Usa version gespielt.Und dann müsst ihr wissen wie die englishe version ablãuft.Die stimmen ganz besonders goku & vegeta sind einfach traumhaft,qualität 1 A.Guter kampf geschrei (nicht schlechter als die deutsche fassung).So jetzt kommen wir zum besten teil: TOTAL UNCUT : ich war überrascht wie brotal das original ist.Seit dem ist die deutsche fassung für mich sowieso gestorben,und den neu komponierten usa hintergrund finde ich zur abweckslung auch nicht schlecht (wenn ich nur drauf lust habe).Ich habe die ersten Drei Boxxen schon und werde mir jetzt alle nach und nach besorgen + Dbz Gt und ich werde mir ihn zukunft nur noch Dbz Artikeln bei Funimation bestellen.+ wer mit englich überhaubt nicht klarkommt kann es sich mit englishen untertiteln angucken was doch auch sehr hilfreich sein kann.Thanks you Funimation und Amazon für die schnelle lieferung aus USA.

Ich kann mich dunkel an die Zeit erinnern, als Dragonball noch unzensiert im deutschen Fernsehen lief. Die Zeit ist leider lange vorbei. Lange wurde es dann nicht mehr ausgestrahlt. Und was dann? Es wurde zwar wieder regelmässig auf einem hier nicht namentlich genannten Sender ausgestrahlt, aber so stark geschnitten, dass man es einfach nicht mehr anschauen wollte. Die deutschen DVD-Boxen die es von diesen Versionen im öffentlichen Handel zu kaufen gibt, sind leider ebenfalls komplett geschnitten, nach dem Motto "FSK6"...Als ich dann auf diese Boxen aufmerksam geworden bin, war ich sehr froh endlich eine komplett ungeschnittene Fassung zu bekommen. Sie sind zwar auf englisch, was mich aber garnicht stört. Im Gegenteil. Die englischen Stimmen gefallen mir teilweise sogar besser. Aber das ist natürlich auch Geschmacksache.Für jeden Fan ein Muss, kaufen! (Vor allem bei diesem unschlagbaren Preis)

Dies ist wohl die einzig wahre DBZ Version für Fans. Nach dem unglaublich zerschnittenen Kai habe ich endlich Dragon Ball so wie es sein Soll. Keine Schnitte, Fullscreen, top Vertonung und Das Marathonfeature beim Schauen. Jeder Fan, der überlegt sich DBZ zu zulegen, sollte zu dieser Version greifen. Hier stehen 1000enden Minuten Kindheitserinnerungen nichts im Weg. Jede Staffel geht zwischen 700 und 1100 Minuten mit US Vertonung, Original japanischer Vertonung oder US syncro mit japanischer Musik ( letzteres ist so wie es auf RTL2 ausgestrahlt wurde nur eben in englisch). Die US brodcast Version ist etwas rockiger und weniger "niedlich" was die Hintergrundmusik angeht.

Los compre para un regalo y la persona a la que iban destinados esta contentísima, le han encantado. No solo viene en diversos idiomas, sino que la calidad de imagen está muy mejorada respecto a la televisión. Si eres un gran aficionad@ a Dragon ball este es tu pack.Una gran compra.
