He tells Goku that his old nemesis, Dr. Gero, Trunks came from the future to warn Goku and the others of even greater threat. Trunks tells Goku from this new terror that they've killed Piccolo, Vegeta, Yamch, Tien, Krillin and 13 years later they get Gohan.

Summary: Trunks is here
Review: In this tape, we see the end of Frieza and his evil father, King Cold. This may sound gruesome, but both their deaths were awesome. Afterwards, Trunks reveals to Goku who he is and why he came from the future. The news is startling and not all of it is good. He reveals the horror he lives in and that it will haunt Goku and his friends soon. We also get to see the Z-fighters begin their training in anticipation of the androids that are coming. This video is a must see.

Summary: It's Trunks + DBZ, what more could you want?
Review: Not all that much more, I was impressed with this newer batch of DVD's, and hope the next bunch comes out this good... It says I can't spoil the plot, but that means that I really can't say much about the little quirks in the DVDs, which mostly are little purist things to begin with... When the Cell Saga comes up, we have some huge moments though, and I think the DVD's really let the American viewer see them the way they were meant to be seen (Yea, that music in the FUNi dub isn't the original) and the very very cool "Unmei no Hi (Spirit Versus Spirit)" moment, which shouldn't give anything away, but spark a fire for these DVD's to come out.

Summary: A complete and utter waste of time
Review: Now, I am a collector of anime anad have been a big fan of Dragon Ball Z for a long time. But I would beg you to see the real Dragon Ball Z before buying this chopped up, edited version. I know that it says uncut, but it's really not. I'm not saying that violence is good or anything, but I am saying that this was a show that was originally meant for adults in Japan and was brought over seas by Funimation and turned into a little kiddie show. If you do not want to see the real Japanese version, then be my guest and buy this video, but if you would like to see the real thing, pick it up at your local comic book shop. But, since Funimation is clearly not going to ever bring the real thing over seas in subtitled, uncut Japanese, then DBZ will never have the charm that it was meant to have.

Summary: A Must-Have Addition to Any DBZ Collection
Review: Plot Summary: After single-handedly defeating Frieza and King Cold, the mysterious stranger announces the exact time and place of Goku's return to Earth - two hours in advance. The Z warriors ponder just who he is and what his plans are, when Goku suddenly arrives, just as predicted. The youth wastes no time, immediately asking to speak with Goku privately. After a quick test to prove that Goku is all he's said to be, the stranger reveals who he is and his mission here. After his departure, the story is related to the rest of the Z fighters, and we also find out at long last just how Goku managed to survive the destruction of Namek.Comments: This tape sets the stage for the Android series, and includes several great action scenes as well, which immediately increases its entertainment value. Fans familiar with the original Japanese episodes will notice a significant amount of alterations to the dialogue, but only a handful are really glaring, and even those aren't enough to truly detract from this great tape. Anyone even remotely into DBZ will want to pick this one up, as it is both entertaining and informative in that it introduces us to plot elements that will be key in many more episodes to come.

Summary: Trunks, better than Goku, ha!
Review: Somehow Trunks kills Frieza and King Cold like they where small dogs. Its sort of funny that Future Trunks is stronger than Goku, but in the last episode in this 3-episode movie, Trunks seems to be weak compared to Goku, maybe he wasn't trying his best. I also heard that the sword he used to kill Frieza, was the Z sword, Gohan gets in the Buu saga much later, but how is that possible is the time when Trunks came from wasn't at the Buu saga, it was still in the Cell Sega? Well if you think this battle is cool, you should see the Cooler episodes. The Cooler episodes comes right after this. "Coolers Revenge" and "The Return Of Cooler" I have only seen the first one, but I want to see the second.

Summary: Great DVD
Review: The beginning of this DVD was filled with some great action. After that, there is a good conversation between Trunks and Goku. I don't know if I'd want to watch this over and over again though.

Summary: Finally, uncut DBZ!
Review: The Dragonball, and Dragonball Z Series were the brainchild of Japanese comic book artist Akira Toriyama. Before the birth of Dragonball he was best known for a series called Dr. Slump. The Dragonball comic first appeared in Shonen Jump (a Japanese comic compilation) in 1984. An animated version, produced by Toei Animation, followed. The original Dragonball series was an adventure-comedy type, which usually involved a journey to collect the seven Dragonballs, which will grant a person any one wish within the power of the Eternal Dragon. A young boy named Goku, with super-human strength, traveled around with Bulma, a smart but spoiled girl who wanted the balls so she could wish for the perfect boyfriend. Along the way, Goku met many enemies, several of which became good friends. Late in Dragonball, Toriyama realized his audience wanted a more serious storyline, with the emphasis on action. It became just that when the series evolved into Dragonball Z in the late eighties. The new action-oriented series lasted until the mid nineties, and was a huge success in Japan and neighboring countries. After completing Z, Toriyama lost interest in the series, but Toei went on and created a new anime series continuing where Z left off (this is called Dragonball GT, but I refuse to recognize it as an official part of the series because Toriyama had no part in it.) In the mid nineties, the first few episodes of the original Dragonball were dubbed and aired in America, but the poor time slot, episode editing, and "Americanization" of the series made it a failure. Later on, they skipped to showing Dragonball Z in America, but everything wrong with the first series was still present. Finally, Cartoon Network began airing new episodes at a decent rate, and at long last the series was a hit here. Unfortunately, all the while these same flaws haunted the series. This DVD contains an uncut dub, and an uncut sub. Finally, we get to see the series the way it was meant to be seen, in all its original Japanese glory (pay the uncut dub no attention, the stupid dialogue makes it worthless compared to the Japanese version, which is pure gold.) However, the price of these uncut DVDs is outrageously high. You only get three (sometimes four) episodes, and there are NO EXTRAS. The uncut Sailor Moon DVDs contain TWICE as many episodes as they do, and they don't cost a whole lot more. If you want uncut DBZ, this DVD gives it to you, but it comes at a (high) price. My advice is to either rent these DVDs, or borrow them from a friend. You'll go broke (or come close to it) if you buy them all.
