 Love the Uncut footageJul 14, 2010
I love the fact that this sage is remastered and uncut, there is a bit more violence than was shown on tv, a definitely more adult language. However even though it does have curse words, there is still some childish bickering which at times is often hilarious. I plan on getting season 3-9. I just finished watching 3. 4 and 5 are in the mail coming to me right now. I forgot how utterly exhausting the Freeza Saga is, but it marked the beginning of serious villains and fighting in my opinion. Definitely worth the money. Any DBZ fan will be happy to have this Saga at their fingertips to satisfy the itch.
Dvd ReviewJul 11, 2010
Its classic dragon ball z and its great only thing that sucks is the music is i guess the orginal from japan not what they had on toonami 10 or so years ago which is a little bummer. still if your a fan buy it.
My DBZ reviewMar 03, 2010
I have bought just about all the dragonball z seasons from amazon, and I have not had a problem with any of them.. Amazon has them cheaper than most stores, and that makes me happy. So in short, better deals and great quality, and thats my two cents on that.
Awesome!Feb 13, 2010
If you're a DBZ fan, you'll want this in your collection. It was so painful to wait for these episode to come on TV & restart countless times. I'm so glad I can watch these back-to-back when I get a DBZ itch now =).
The best of DBZ!Jan 03, 2010
Ah the Frieza Saga, 33 episodes, one big throw down! DBZ has never looked or sounded so good! I won't go into too much detail with the physical set since it's the same as all the other sets and most of the other reviewers covered this topic. The packaging is the same old paper box with the disks stacked off center of each other. Problem is the cases are a lot of times broken when you get them and the disks spin freely on top of each other causing some damage. Sometimes disks also come with damage within the disk itself already, causing the video to freeze and forcing you to skip a substantial amount before you can resume watching. This is a big problem because when a dvd comes damaged in this way you can't fix it, no matter how much you clean the disk.
The partial redubbing of the English version continues here. All of the dialog for Vegeta, Krillin, Dende, Captain Ginyu, and Frieza have been re-recorded. The old music track remains for the US broadcast version, though if your prefer you can of course watch the original Japanese or the English with the Japanese music. Some of the other characters should be redubbed as well. Goku sounds rather stale and characters like Roshi, Baba, and Korin sound nothing like they should, for the few scenes that they pop up in. Also it should be noted that the altered voices for Frieza's different forms have changed slightly. His normal voice is a bit deeper, sounding more like his voice in his final form. Whereas both second and third forms now have the same distorted deep voice. In the first dub the second form had the deep voice, while the third form and a bizarre combination of the voices from his first and second forms running together. Whether these chances are good or bad is naturally up to the viewer.
As far as the story, this saga represents the peak of DBZ for a lot of fans. For starters, the entire saga is basically one big fight against Frieza. Sure there are occasional interruptions where we see Chi Chi's antics on Earth or Bulma getting herself into trouble, other times we pop in on King Kai and the other fighters who perished in the battle against the Saiyans. These interruptions are annoying at times, but still not as bad as commercials. This titanic battle also wraps up all the ongoing plot points that have been continued all the way from the beginning of the series.
But this fight isn't just long, it's the last truly great fight in the series, and easily the best of them all. Unlike the villains that would come about in the future episodes, Frieza really was just that strong. He didn't regenerate from nothing, or recover from all wounds in an instant. It was just that hard to hurt him. He took the good guys to limits they didn't even know they had! Even after that epic moment where Goku's Super Saiyan powers finally emerged, Frieza persisted as a serious threat. The final battle would come down to the two of them, both badly hurt, fighting on a planet that was in it's own death throes. In the end Frieza proves to be the ultimate villain. Even after Goku saved his life, Frieza still tried to kill him and forced Goku's hand.
It just doesn't get any bigger then that. The series was originally supposed to end there, with Goku dying with the explosion of the planet, and his friends on Earth being unable to wish him back. Instead the Author of the original series, Akira Toryama, was convinced to continue the story (partially I'm sure from fan request, and partially from all the money TOEI animation was tossing him). The battles and plot would go downhill from here, but even so it would be some time before even I'd go so far as to call the series `bad`.
