Dragon Ball Z - The Saiyan Conflict (Boxed Set I - Episodes 1-25)

Summary: Thumbs way, way up.
Review: I have to say first that, like many things, my friend reccomended this to me and I was extremely skeptical. "I don't know...Isn't DBZ for little kids?" I questioned. Finally I watched it, got the hang of it, and was glued to the screen. I loved the Saiyan Saga. For a cartoon, it's quite well done. At first what may seem like cheesy dialogue leads into superb, gripping action followed by dramatic emotional scenes which aid in character development. While I noticed they refer to death as "moving to the next dimension". This does not detract from the experience, but simply gives you a different way of looking at death. The good guys are heroic yet human, making it easy to relate to their inner turmoil. But the bad guys blew me away. When you hate them, that's the sign of a good film When you actually can find yourself able to see from their perspective and realize why they commit their evil deeds, that's the sign of a godly film. A stependous mixture of action and drama and humor, this set is a perfect addition to anyone's collection--not just anime lovers.

Summary: Read this before you purchase the DBZ Saiyan Conflict set
Review: To put it simply, in order to understand later episodes of the DBZ saga, you must know what happens at the begining. DBZ follows in the proud footsteps of other Anime dramas and then rises to the next level with heros that you root for and villians you want to reach out an choke. This set is the foundation for a story which rocks the free world (sorry china), and is a must buy.

Summary: DBZ Rocks
Review: This box set is the best. It contains the first 25 episodes, which is a lot more than it sounds like. So much can happen in 25 episodes. I wish it would end with the defeat of Vegeta instead of just showing the spirit bomb hitting him. Oh well im buyin 2 either way. One problem is the fact that they say people were sent to another dimension, when in Japanese theyve died. And they say that a city was evacuated, when literally seconds before there were dozens of people around. There are lots of references like this. But just ignore it and youll be fine.

Summary: Suffers some in translation
Review: Dragonball Z is an entertaining action ride that is aimed at children, but is very funny and entertaining for adults too. It tells a saga, rather than being a collection of unrelated episodes. As such, we get to see the characters develop and grow. Each adventure or event impacts the rest of the series, rather than simply being forgotten. For children, it should be noted that the series has some violence in it. There is a great deal of fighting and characters do die, which brings me to my next point. In translating the series for American television, a great deal of effort has been made to remove all references to death. While this may be fine for the kids, who may not realize what is going on, for adults watching the series, it is almost painful to listen to them talk about the dead people having been "sent to another dimension" or the crowded city as having been evacuated before being blown up. It is best just to ignore these references and enjoy the story as it was meant to be told.

Summary: Quality drama and action
Review: This is currently what's being shown on Cartoon Network now. It picks up where Dragonball left off, with a reunion of the characters that is interrupted by Raditz, Goku's long lost bro. We learn Goku and Piccolo are aliens, Goku dies in the fight with Raditz, stays dead for 1 year, gets really strong, and comes back to fight Nappa and Vegeta, that's where the action really kicks in. A hint: not everyone lives due to the fact that Goku arrives late. This review is brief, and there's a lot more to it than this. Get this set, or get cable.
