5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest sagas of all time., July 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dragon Ball Z - The Namek Saga (Boxed Set II - Episodes 26-53) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This saga starts out as a simple quest for seven dragonballs. Including all of the dbz gang. At first it seemed slow, then as new faces entered the sceen. The Namek Saga, became more than just a quest for the Dragonballs. All of the people on planet Namek fought for their lives. Where the biggest villan in dbz history arrives. Freiza, is probably my favorite bad guy. Mearly because in the Namek Saga, he is a very calm, and very creepy type of villan. The Ginyu Force, was also a brilliant team. Which were evil Freiza's hench men. The Namek Saga, ended with such a teaser, that you could stand waiting for the next episode. Personally I think that the Namek Saga was unlike anything I'd seen in a dbz series. Just the way everyone on planet Namek, found out all about the Nameks. Also the way that every one grew so strong, and their power levels were so incredible. The very last episode, was where Goku was just arriving on planet Namek, and this is when I got a big case of the goosebumps. Goku had been training at 100 times earth's normal gravity. So he obviously was going to arrive the thrill of the Saga. I would recomend this Saga to anyone who is interested with Dragonballz.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too bad we ain't in Japan!, July 18, 1999

This review is from: Dragon Ball Z - The Namek Saga (Boxed Set II - Episodes 26-53) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have seen this series with the origional japanese dialogue, and needless to say this english version is a far cry from the intensity of the orgionals. Did you know there are well over two hundred fifty episodes to this series? I cannot remember exactly how many... all I know is I want every last one- uncut and uncensored! The voices for Gohan, Kurillin, and Vegita in the english version are pathetic. Episodes are missing from the Namek Saga and, quite frankly, it is a shame. I would like to see the whole set, unabridged and not tainted by censorship. Dragonball Z is a violent series, much like Fist of the North Star... with comedy. As to when FUNinamtion will get off its rear and give us hungry DBZ fans what we really want (everything, of course) and not give us this non-fat version... who knows? They should stop treating this like a kid's show and treat it the way it was meant to be treated. Oh, by the way... did anyone know there is another Dragonball series after Dragonball Z? As slow as FUNimation is with getting the episodes out, it probably won't reach american shores until 2003. It's a crying shame...

I cannot blame the people who wrote and censored the "americanized" dragon ball z , episodes for making it a cheasy Pokemon esque type of anime . Funimation , atleast tried to make this show hit in the US . If it weren't the effort of Funimation to even bring Dragon Ball Z into an "American-children-audiance" genre I would give this a -1 star if they had it . As you can see by the "real" fans that this was way censored , I mean theres so many goofy lines that its sad . Take for example on one of the episodes , like when the news chopter was blasted by Napa , Teinshin yelled out , "wait they are ok , I see them with parashutes!" when you can clearly see the chopter is burnt to bits . Well if you are an anime fan and want to see why Dragon Ball Z is great , then I would recomend you to try and find an uncut version of Dragon Ball Z. By saying Uncut I mean its realistic , better in story , and plain out good .
