Summary: The Cell saga begins here!
Review: FUNimation's DVDs keep getting a little better every time. There are still a few noticeable pauses between some tracks, like between the theme song and the recap, and between the title sequence and the beginning of the episode. And still, no preview of the next episode in Japanese, either. But, they've included the original eyecatches, so there are signs of improvement. Also, the animated menus look NICE this time around. Unlike the cruddy screen captures from the Freeza discs, the Cell menus feature a cool-looking techno-organic cell floating around in green embryonic fluid.

Only three episodes on the disc, but that's no surprise. The Powers That Be have already long since decided that we stupid consumers are to digest this 300-episode series in installments of 3 episodes per ... disc. The first two episodes on the disc really aren't more than a buildup that goes on a little too long. Nothing much here except setting up Cell's appearance and Piccolo's power-up. The third episode is the real meat and potatoes of the disc, with Piccolo and Cell going at it. From the horrific images of Cell killing his victims to Piccolo's superpowered martial arts prowess, this episode is one to remember out of the entire DBZ series.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Beginning of a Very Nasty Fight
Review: I should clarify this by stating that I have seen only the Japanese version, not the English, and so can only give this four star as I don't know what will be done in the dubbing process. However, if Funimation dubs these episodes well, upgrade my rating to five stars. You will see the creation of the new Piccolo, a Piccolo that for a while is stronger than anyone else and gives a very big beating to Cell. Piccolo will look like he's in big trouble, but Piccolo always has a plan... One thing will keep this video from attaining true classic DBZ status. Join me in hoping as fervently as you know how that Cell gets a good voice! Not a crummy lady-from-an-anticigarette-ad voice like Frieza got, but a good voice!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "The arrival of one of the coolest villains ever...Cell!"
Review: Imperfect Cell - Encounter is a great addition to the DBZ family. I only gave it four starts because it is some-what boring before Cell appears, but mysterious all the same. Piccolo and Kami finally fuse, bringing out the true, stronger Piccolo, but not evil. Cell is really creepy, the way he sucks the life out of anyone who crosses him to gain energy, and he even can perform Goku's special move -- the Kamehameha wave! Buy Encounter to both complete your collection and delive true DBZ entertainment to your home!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not so bad
Review: Perhaps the best saga ever made has finally come! To make it short, I'll tell you about the good stuff. Trunks & Gohan discover Cell's egg, then his transport body, & the time machine thatCell stole from Trunks. Oh yeah, kame joins with Piccolo. In the next episode, Piccolo goes down & meets Cell. They show him suck a fat guy up. Pretty cool if you ask me! And it becomes a battle where Cell uses the Special Beam Cannon, & the wicked kamehamema. Then, the military gets involved which is quite funny. Oh, & the androids, they are still on the road.

Summary: Cell has finaly arifed in U.S.A.!
Review: This is one of the best buys of all DBZ. I have seen it on TV and read and have seen some of the origenal Japines version. This tape contanes the first 3 episods of the imperfect Cell saga. I recomend this tape to anyone that likes DBZ and any other action packed anime shows!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Finally the cell saga is on video!!!!!
Review: This is the beginning of the Cell saga. It isnt the best video but it is a need to know so you understand the Cell battle. However, you have to have watched the android saga to get the whole idea. The best part of the video is where Piccolo comes to fight Cell for the first time since he joined with Kami. This is also a lot better if it is uncut because you get to see more action etc. which you wont see on cartoon network and that spoils DBZ really because it isnt meant to be a childrens cartoon and it is extremely violent. This is the build up to the major final battle!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good

Starting the battle, the clash between Piccolo and the mysterious monster begins....but the question is who will win?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not so bad
Review: This was alright, but it could have been a little better. If it weren't for the last episode I wouldn't have gotten this tape. The first twp episode's were kind of boring. You do get to see Cell for the first time at the end of the second episode. The last episode was better mainly because it was Piccolo's first fight as a Super Namek. Though you don't find out anything about Cell at all. I hope the next tape will be better.
