I've waited months to see these episodes, and now find that none of them sound the same. Vegeta, he sounds horrible now, where as he used to have a voice to had all of the personality that he deserved. Someone tell the people who cut these to RE DO THEM!!!!!! Get the right voices! Also, editing is way off. In the whole series, they've taken out the best scenes, thinking that they were too much for us. They're not!!! Ok, now I'm going to watch the old ones and wait till they get it right...

OH MY GOSH. Let me take a deep breath. This is it. This is what all DBZ fans have been waiting for. We have been waiting for these DVDs forever. This is it. It is DBZ uncut. Translation is perfect. Everything they are saying is what they should truely be saying. I have creditble sites that have told me this. The original Japanease soundtrack. Just hearing the Funimation soundtrack next to the original makes me laugh. DBZ has long been considered one of the top animes, and now everyone see what we are talking about. And did i mention uncut. The VHS are not even really uncut. Do you think Funi wants you to know that. These DVDs are truly uncut. I am gonna collect the whole series. Don't buy any VHS DBZ. This is what you have to put your money towards.

This is what you should be spending your money on. It's the original Japanese version with exact English subtitles. This is the best thing to ever happen to DBZ in America. Stop wasting your time reading this review and buy the DVDs now.

This is an excellent DVD in all respects save the cover. (The cover is incredibly stupid if you didn't notice. An irrelevent screen shot.) There are two versions on this DVD, like all Dragon Ball Z DVD's except for Saiyan/Namek Sagas. This is actually the second DVD of the first uncut saga in American Dragon Ball.

The two versions it contains in the English Dubbed version and the Japaneese Subbed version. I reccommend watching both, although some hardcore fans only watch the Subbed. Even though most of the dialog is changed in the Dubbed version (and the music is much worse) it is still a very fun watch and highly enjoyable.

The DVD and story itself is really good. It has an exciting battle between Goku and Ginyu and the demise of Ginyu is really great and pretty funny too. It's an excellent DVD and I highly reccommend it.

It is a great video, glad they kept all of the original people doing the voices... Too bad that after, what?, 1 or 2 years they couldn't EXACTLY do the same voices, they changed. But they're ok after you hear them for awhile. Rock on DBZ! (and I wish they'd hurry up and get to the android series, I'm tired of Frieza/Friezer)

I love Dragonball, and up until now, I have rated ALL the videos at 5 stars. The new episodes just released I give all 4 stars, because of the bad decision to recruit different voice actors. POOR Vegitta !!! He is my FAVORITE character, and his voice in the older episodes rocked! Now, his voice is mediocre and could've been a whole lot better. A person who just now began to watch Dragonball Z would rate the new episodes at 5 stars, but to veterans of the series, I believe 4 is justified. Overall this video is a GREAT , and if you don't buy it, you're missing out on the best anime ever created!!!

I liked it. I liked how they all delt with the remaining Ginyu. I don't mind the new voices, I understand (unlike most of the whiney revewers and buyers), by what ever means that led to Funimations termination with their affiliation with pioneer, that some things would have to change. Since Funimation no longer has access to Poineer dubbing equipment, or its voice talent, things would be off scale a little bit. And I really dont care anyway. I'm just happy that fiftey new episodes are being translated and aired here in america! The only problems I had with the new videos was the mixing in the sound effects and voices. The voices were too high and the sounds were too low. I keept hearing Vejita below a war cry while the huge blast surrounding him sounded like no more than squeeking mouse in a mousetrap. That and the acting wasn't very good, though I do admire the new actors accuracy in getting most of the characters orgional voices as close as they could--with a few small exceptions.

DBZ fans, this still ISN'T ENOUGH!!!! Just because the new englishe dubbed tape are on video and their uncut, doesn't mean it's gonna be uncut on TV. Infact, the UNCUT version is not all the way uncut. ON the UNCUT version, Captain Ginyu, says: "I'll be done like Dinner" HA HA HA LoL!!! That's like the most funniest remark EVER in DBZ. He REALLY says something about him going to hell if he dies.CRAPimation is still going to show these stupid eps on TV. And I mean STUPID. Why all of this? They think we can't handle the violence and they treat us like babies. You wanna know something? In the beggining eps of DBZ when Radditz came, and he took Gohan, you know what CRAPimation edited out??? THEY EDITED OUT A BIT OF TEARS FROM GOHANS EYES!!!!!!!!! THEY THOUGHT THAT THE TEARS WERE VIOLENT TOO US!!!!! And, here is a stupid part, you know when the people die in DBZ? Like Yamcha, Piccolo, etc when they die? Their bodies would dissapier, & THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT GOES! CRAPimation thought that it was to scary to actual so a live cartoon charector laying on the ground dead. And here is one more stupid thing CRAPimation cutted out. Remember when Goku went to the hospital? CRAPimation edited a part when Goku had to get a shot. And for once reason: THEY THOUGHT A SHOT IN THE ARM WAS WAAAAAAAAYY TO VIOLENT FOR US!!!!So here's some advice, ignore EVERY SINGLE english dubbed DBZ. Buy a subtitled tape instead if you want some REAL DBZ.Can anyone forward this message to FUNimation? OR like print my message and send it to them? I want FUNimation to see what a HARDCORE DBZ fan thinks of their wasteful crap they call, "Anime." They make it seem like a kiddie cartoon.<Please don't e-mail me saying where to buy the subtitled tapes, but if you would like to ask ANOTHER question, go ahead and e-mail me>

You couldn't have picked a better DVD than this, it's completely uncut, with no rewrites in dialogue. Buy it now, I guarentee that you won't be sorry when you buy this. If your curious, or just want to compare, you can watch the american version. If you don't like that version just go back to watching the Japanese version. Our prayers have finally been answered! Thank you God!

If you love dragon ball z and you love to watch the fighting sceens then this is the movie for you I mean, hey common who cares about voices and besides they are close enough to sound cool any way watch for them in september on cartoon network. they are going to air the next 50 episodes.
