Summary: Awesome Box Set
Review: I have to say that I was completely satisfied with this box set. The english dubbing is great and you get fifteen episodes of action and pure comedy. Dragon Ball is one of the best animation series of all time and FUNimation has done an excellent job with this two dvd (uncut) set. I liked this set so much that I went ahead and ordered the Red Ribbon Army box set that follows this set. The only problem that arises is that FUNimation is skipping a few sagas after RRA saga. This is tolerable only because most people have probably already seen the skipped sagas on Cartoon Network. The bottom line is, if you are a fan of DB, get this set.

Summary: It DOES have both versions!
Review: I just recieved my copy today, and I just wasnted to confirm (since it does not say for this product) that it DOES CONTAIN both the Japanese and the American UNCUT versions.It's probably also worth mentioning that it contains episodes 14-28, which is the Torunement Saga. Needless to say, this is a GREAT value. Even if it only had the American version, it would still be a good value (but thank goodness it has both versions!). I can only hope that all of the future Dragon Ball /Dragon Ball Z Box sets will contain both versions.

Summary: The way it was intended
Review: I read the uncut graphic novels, and I must say, they were great! On the TV show on Toonami, Bulma is really annoying, but in the book, she is hot! In this DVD, you see DB the way it was intended. There's a little potty humor, and a lot of vulgar things (from Master Roshi!) but it's all good.
To be honest, I don't mind the vulgar stuff. It makes it seem more real. Really, it's not that bad. For instance, Krillin is bribing Master Roshi with porno mags. He keeps handing them rapidly to him and you can see the cover plainly, but the chic on the front is kneeling and facing the other direction. You can't see anything. Plus, it's a repeated animation, and is the same mag.
In the end though, I'd say 13 and up.

Summary: Dragon Ball the way it was meant to be!
Review: In the words of the great Chris Farley..."Awesome!", and thats putting it lightly. This 2 disk set contains all the episodes from the tournament saga. The english version has the voice actors from the cartoon network series but these episodes are uncut. And for the purists the eps can be set to the original Japanese. The theme song Makafushigi Adventure is in both versions. A truly awesome experience. A must have for fans of the Dragon Ball series.

Summary: Great set
Review: My only complaint about the set is that Funimation didn't include true subtitles. The only Subtitles available are "dubtitles" (meaning that the subtitles mimic the English Dub instead of the original Japanese) That is it, the rest of the DVDs are just great. The video is a bit old and scratchy but then, that is the way the original was. Oh yeah, there is one more small complaint. Each episode has the complete intro and close. This is OK if you are watching one episode a day but it got a tad annoying while I was watching them back to back. Nit-picking, I know but I thought I'd mention it.

Summary: Dragonball is more fun than DBZ
Review: The major drawback is no Prince, but we know he didn't enter until DBZ. The humor is high & the fighting low--none of the massive power-ups DBZ haters use as an excuse not to watch the show. Goku was a cute little alien & his co-horts not filled with angst & issues--Yamucha's still cool here, Bulma's scary, but ok, & Puar & Oolong are nice little comic sounding boards.
We meet Krillin--just a tinge bad like Yamucha was when we met him & Launch/Lunch(depending on if one is watching the dub or sub) in this set & anytime we get an Oozaru, I'm happy. Being uncut, there's a bit here some would find offensive for their little munchkins--Goku & even Krillin have frontal nudity(they seem to love skinny-dipping boys in Japan) & more than a bit on Master Roshi's perverse love of aerobics, dirty mags & female anatomy, but not much worse than one can see on tv now, although maybe not quite as concentrated. I was expecting worse from what I've read went on in the original run according to various Dragonball sources & it's nice to get the original story. The whole problem with any dub is interpretation/translation & there is no perfect translation from any language--something always gets lost so at least the subtitles aren't worried about cultural differences & playing to the American audience. My first run thru a dvd is usually in English with the Japanese subtitles on(if the dvd has subtitles for both languages) to see how much of the story's been altered unless the English cast is really annoying & this is the Funimation crew we know already. We get the full length opening & closing themes we don't get on tv which is nice & some song during the Tourni I didn't hear because it's on the Japanese track--have to check it out next time--& the themes are in English as well as Japanese. Of course, being Funimation, the extras menu is thin-trailers for other Funimation products & a brief character profile on a couple of the characters.

Summary: Greatest FUNimation DVD yet
Review: This DVD really surprised me. I expected an actual Box set with 5 dvds with 3 episodes a piece on them, just like any normal FUNimation dvd. But no way! I got a dvd case with 2 dvds in it, and they're filled with 15 episodes of dragonball! Fully uncut! The Dub is great! It's funny! The voice acting is wonderful! The dvd also includes the original Japanese track with subtitles. This is interesting because it's a litte different from the sub, but not that much! The dub is actually funnier! If you like Dragonball, this is a MUST! I liked it so much, I preordered the Red Ribbon Army box set!

Summary: Great Set! Great Price!!
Review: This is a great series to watch, and IMHO, it is by far better than its successor, DBZ. This show is way underrated, probably due to its animation, which I believe is over a decade or two old. Still, it is still great to look at, and even more entertaining to watch as everything unfolds. This set is actually suppose to be the second set of the series. The first one will probably be release later this year or early next year due to ownership rights of companies. So if you are not familiar with this series or its successor, DBZ at all, then this set may not be for you since it is not the best place to start. Despite that, it is still a great saga filled with laughter and cheers. For only $40 retail, give it a shot. I, for one, can't wait for the next installment.
