Dragon Ball Z: Season Six (Cell Games Saga)

It's all about Gohan!!
I've been a hardcore Dragon Ball Z fan since I first discovered the show in middle school, especially when the spotlight has been on Gohan. To me, he's the easiest character to relate to and I've always admired him for it. He not only copes with major self doubts, but learns to overcome them as his father helps him to believe in himself as his epic battle against Cell takes place.

I've watched this part of the series at least two dozen times and still get goose bumps with the way it ends. I can't think of a more inspirational cartoon moment than when a banged up Gohan manages to take down the super-freakishly powerful Cell through the help of his friends and father. If you haven't yet seen it, then I highly recommend that you see how this magnificent story goes down.

Cell is also my favorite DBZ villain as well. Not only is he the most tricky villain to defeat, but he's the only one who ever successfully managed to kill Goku. He seemed like an indestructible...

Dragonball Z DVD Season Review
I purchased the DVD boxsets for the Dragonball Z series... seasons 1 through 7, and plan on buying the rest once they are released. These are excellent DVDs. The ability to run the episodes back to back as a 'marathon' series that cuts out the intro vids / credits between each episode is a great way to enjoy this series.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of this great anime series.

Dragon Ball Z: Season Two (Namek and Captain Ginyu Sagas)

Your Second Wish Has Been Granted...
The new first season set of Dragon Ball uncut isn't even out yet and they've already announced this season two set. While the main reason to buy the first is the first chance ever to own the original thirteen episodes uncut in a proper North American set most fans will probably continue on buying this one as well. I suspect many of those who already own this batch of episodes uncut on the old sets will buy this one as well in an effort to collect all the episodes in nice sets that complement each other when lined up on a shelf. Given the running time of 720 minutes this set should contain the following thirty episodes from the Red Ribbon Army, General Blue and Commander Red Sagas:

32 The Flying Fortress: Vanished!
33 The Legend of a Dragon
34 Cruel General Red
35 Cold Reception
36 Major Metallitron
37 The Ninja Murasaki is Coming!
38 Five Murasakis
39 Mysterious Android No.8
40 Horrifying Buyon
41 The Fall of Muscle Tower
42...

Dragon Ball Z remastered
Quick Facts: I'm 27, been a fan of Dragon Ball Z since 1999, and a fan of anime since 1992. I'm very picky about uncut anime, and I always prefer the original aspect ratio. I dislike English dubs as most any anime fan does. This is my first review of a DVD.

Video: FUNimations claims this is a widescreen transfer from the original video. Dragonball Z fans are screaming the original video was cropped to make it widescreen. I've spent the last 2 days with WinDVD and Photoshop to confirm or disprove this. Anyone who does image editing knows that cropping a 4:3 image to 16:9 can be really dramatic. After watching 67 episodes of this new release from FUNimation, I wasn't completely convinced about the transfer being cropped from it's original 4:3 aspect ratio. Dragonball Z fans are correct to say the widescreen transfer is cropped, but they also would need to admit to that the 4:3 broadcast we fans know and love was also cropped! The widescreen transfer has extended video on the...

Season two features even more action as Goku takes on the Red Ribbon Army and Mercenary Tao!
It's the series that started it all... "Dragon Ball". Originally, a manga series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama for "Shonen Jump", the manga series lasted from 1984 through 1995 and since the manga series has produced several anime series which include "Dragon Ball", "Dragon Ball Z", "Dragon Ball GT" and currently in Japan, a new HD broadcasting of "Dragon Ball Kai" and in 2009, an American live action film titled "Dragonball Evolution" was released worldwide.

"Dragon Ball" is the first arc of the series which aired in Japan from 1986 through 1989 and lasted for 153 episodes. The series was released by Harmony Gold USA in the late 80's and then by FUNimation Entertainment in 1995 and uncut episodes were released on DVD in 2003.

And now the episodes have been released in the USA with the awesome first season of "Dragon Ball" and now the second season is now released for the first time uncut, remastered and digitally restored.

Dragon Ball Z: Season Nine (Majin Buu Saga)

Dragon Ball Z Reaches It's End
This long awaited ninth boxed set will finish up Dragon Ball Z on DVD. It's been just over two years since I excitedly bought the season one set and I have anxiously awaited this ninth one, but at the same time it's weird to feel like this series is ending for me all over again. Nevertheless these episodes are action packed and a fitting ending for one of the most loved anime of all times. This set contains the Fusion and Kid Buu sagas in these final 38 uncut episodes:

254 The Evil of Men_____________ 255 Buu Against Buu
256 Empty Planet_______________ 257 Time Struggle
258 Super Moves of Gotenks_____ 259 Trapped in Forever
260 Feeding Frenzy_____________ 261 Gotenks is Awesome
262 Unlucky Break______________ 263 A Whole New Gohan
264 Search for Survivors_________ 265 Majin Buu Transforms
266 The Old Kai's Weapon________ 267 Ready to Fuse?
268 Union of Rivals______________ 269 Meet Vegito
270 Rip in the Universe___________ 271...

GREAT ANIME, despite the naysayers!!!
There will always be those that give this series bad reviews, but the fact remains it was one of the closest-to-script adaptations with some of the coolest voices from the cast of Funimation (as far as the English dub is concerned).

YES some supposedly 5 minute fights are dragged out over 10 episodes or more

YES Toriyama-san wanted to stop at the Freeza saga but the fans wanted more so it was pushed all the way to Buu saga

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT??? It has a solid story and solid action, great fights, great characters and development, and AWESOME villains. This anime gets an 11 out of 10!

Not bad EXCEPT NO BOOKLET
I ordered this in November when it was $11.99, didn't open til this week January 2012. I was surprised it was missing the Character bio/Episode guide Booklet. Also, the plastic thing holding the disc were chipped and cracked. It seemed like I got a used copy but sold as new. Contacted Amazon they did a replacement 1 day shipping. Got it today and opened it up. YES, it was Brand NEW no scratches no cracked or anything.....BUT NO BOOKLET AGAIN. I went on amazon reading the latest reviews and people are not getting the BOOKLET either. Strange I got booklet for all the other ones except this one. I thought Amazon got a faulty batch or something. So I emailed ProductConcerns@funimation.com

Within an hour I get this reply
