Summary: one of the best sagas in Dragonball
Review: This is an awesome saga in Dragonball. DB is mostly known for more comedy and less fighting (and DBZ is the opposite), but this has a lot of comedy AND really good fighting. If they ever come out with the tien saga on DVD,then buy that, it is a way better tourny, and it has a lot better fighting.

Summary: Major Bang for the Buck
Review: This is the best format of any Dragonball video release to date. Lots of episodes, low price/episode, dual language, uncut and it comes in a standard sized keepcase. Most of all you get to enjoy an entire story arc in one collection - something that would take months to do on television. A must buy!

Summary: Dragon Ball - The World Tournament Saga
Review: This set contains every episode of the classic Dragon Ball series World Tournament saga. This is the series of events that occurs after the Pilaf saga, but before the Red Ribbon saga. Here's a basic summary of what happens during these episodes: The Dragonballs have turned into regular stones for one year, so the gang must find a way to pass the time. Goku goes back to Master Roshi's island, wanting to find a way to make full use of his super strength. Once he arrives there, another potential student arrives - Krillin. Master Roshi says he can only train one of them, but finally agrees to train both (Goku asked him first, and Krillin gave him a dirty magazine.) A tournament approaches, and the two want to fight in it. Also by now, Roshi has hired Launch as his housekeeper. Whenever she sneezes, she becomes evil, making it tough to get anything done. The two boys begin an extremely difficult training program. Bulma, Oolong, and Yamcha have returned to the city. Yamcha trains for the tournament by fighting strong fighters from around the city, but none are a challenge, so he goes out into the woods to train. Meanwhile, all over the world, people are training. Finally, the tournament arrives. All of the members of the Dragon Ball gang (Goku, Krillin, Yamcha) enter. Master Roshi enters it under a fake name - Jackie Chun. Who will win the tournament? I'm not gonna spoil that. As for the original Dragon Ball series itself, it's good to watch since it's ultimately the prequel to the Dragon Ball Z series, but the early Dragon Ball episodes may turn off Z fans. While DBZ is an all-out action series, classic DB is an adventure-comedy one. The real action in the first series doesn't start until the Red Ribbon saga, which comes next. Sadly, the DVD is lacking extras, as all FUNimation DVDs do. Overall, this is an excellent DVD set. If you're a fan of Dragon Ball, you can't go wrong with this.

Summary: Superb collection of 15 Episodes
Review: To get 15 amazing, uncut, Dragon Ball episodes for just over $30 is truly amazing. Not to mention that these episodes are some of the best available. They detail Goku and Krillin's training with Master Roshi and the tournament that follows. The uncut version lets us see Master Roshi as he was intended to be seen, a complete and total pervert. The training is exciting and a lot of it is just hilarious. Some of the fights when the tournament starts are good too. For example, there is one fight with a girl who actually strips down to her underwear to try and force her opponent (a man) out of the ring. It doesn't work, but it is very funny to watch. (Esspecially Master Roshi's reaction.) The episodes really are great fun, though. With the final battle being both amazing and surprising, it is not a set to be missed. The hilarious jokes (some perverted, some not) and the action-packed adventure are not things you will want to miss. As for the actual DVD, there are no extras, but the menus sure do work pretty well. Like all DB DVD's (except for Saga of Goku) it has both the Japaneese and the English version. The English version is done very well. Some of the sex jokes are toned down a bit, but they are still pretty good. (For example, in the Japaneese, Master Roshi asks Goku to ask her if she has a Bra on. In the American, he asks him to ask her if she wants to take a walk with him.) In conclusion, these two DVD's are great, you must get this collection.

Summary: Why bother with VHS anymore...?
Review: Unfortunately, Dragon Ball is not airing in Canada. However, with this collection of episodes on DVD, how can you go wrong? Personally, the price for fifteen uncut bilingual episodes is simply fantastic. Not only are you totally getting your worth with your money, you're getting it with a great series! Picture has been greatly improved, but why does the Japanese sound have to be in mono? Perhaps FUNimation is trying to get more people to watch the English version. Seriously, if you purchased these episodes on VHS (uncut) individually, you'd be spending much more than if you were to buy it from this excellent set here. You can't go wrong.

Summary: Just GREAT!
Review: Wow, after nearly 20 years since its TV debut, we finally get to see the original Dragonball in japanese on DVD! It's a must to watch it in japanese with direct translations (listed as subtitle #2 Japanese) on. For some reason the english dialogue is drastically changed, to the point that it actually changes the storyline. Also, as the english version's humor is directed squarely at children, the original japanese version has a broader age appeal with more clever and subtle dialogue. Of course these uncut versions have a bit of the toilet humor Dragonball is known for, but don't worry, this isn't SOUTH PARK. This is a cartoon with both brains and heart. The only drawback to the japanese soundtrack is no fault of Funimation's. The show was originally recorded and broadcast in MONO. I only wish Funimation could have gotten ahold of the music tracks (opening & ending themes, etc.), which were originally recorded in stereo. This is the only part of the show the mono soundtrack shows its age. Other than that, this is a great release, a no bells & whistles DVD, just pure DB Fun! That's all you need!
