Summary: Dragonball Z - Captain Ginyu - Assault
Review: A good DVD for any Dragonball Z fan interested in its original form. The translation is fairly good. However there are no extras to speak of on this DVD which I guess is ok since FUNimation is insistent on bombarding us with the same previews over and over again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: FUNimation first attempt at the DVD market.
Review: After the demands of all the hardcore fans of this magnificent anime made my Akira Toriyama, FUNimation has finally given in to their demands and they started making DVDs with the original Japanese language.

Now the outside cover is not all that impressive since it's practilly the same as the VHS cover only with the works "Includes 2 Versions English Uncut Version & Original Japanese Version Subtitled in English". The region code for this is 1, 2, and 4 so people other than the people of the US can view it in their DVD players. The DVD disk doesn't look too impressive but hey this is FUNi first attempt so cut them some slack.

Now the graphic and sound of this DVD. The graphic are a definite plus for those of us how used to buy "fansubs" with B to C picture qualities. It's very clear and crisp image throughout the episodes. The sounds are also very good but not as loud as the English dub, but you can always turn up the volume ^^. All in all FUNi did a good job in these catagories.

Now for the only reason why I took a star off this well deserve 5 star series. FUNi didn't do such a good job of actually subbing parts of it. What I mean is that they would replace works of profanity with censered versions of it e.g. FUDGE!!!! or darn it ><. Anyways this is a must buy for anyone who's a fan to this series and those who are looking for a good action packed show.

Review: All DBZ lovers shoud see this movie! This and Destruction have great battle scenes. Nappa is awesome and dishes out some serious punishment to the Z-Fighters.

Summary: YOUR GUARD IS DOWN!
Review: All in all, a very good DVD. Unlike most DBZ fans, I like the American version. This was the first time I had seen the Japanese version, and I was impressed. The music is very good, especially when Goku and Captain Ginyu start fighting. Some people revile all aspects of the US version, but I find both versions are good. Linda Chambers is especially good as the American Frieza. Music is suspenseful, Characters are excellent. So yes, go try it for yourself. Best bought with the Double Cross DVD. Nothing beats the "Change" Music.

Summary: You can't be an Anime fan without a DVD Player...
Review: Anyone who has a DVD player should buy the Dragon Ball Z DVD's!! First off! You get the FUNimation Uncut, episodes (Whoopdy doo eh?) And then you get the REAL stuff... The ORIGINAL Akira Toriyama-fied Episodes. 3 Episodes of the Greatest Action Cartoon of all Time! I have the Videos. I got them after FUNimation dubbed the last part of Freezer. (Frieza)

Ginyu Assault is just GREAT in Japanese. And C'mon Subtitles aren't that bad (Unless your uneducated) You get the music and you get some cultural digression. I've watched the First DVD to the Cell Game (Trunks Saga) At least 500 times and I know more Japanese than I did before. I can even pick out when a mistake in translation was made.

DVD's are 10 times better than anything you can get. It's all Uncut, and it's just great! I reccomend getting all of them!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally...Subtitled DBZ!
Review: At last I can enjoy commercial DBZ in it's original format with english subtitles. No more grainy fansubs for me!

Summary: Dragonball Z: Captain Ginyu Assault
Review: Captain Ginyu Assault contains three episodes (Ep54)Ginyu Assault (55)Incredible Force and (56) Frieza Approaches. The episodes come in English Uncut Format, Also in the orignal Japanese Version with english subtitles. In episode 54 Ginyu Assault Goku Has just landed on Namek and engages a fight with two Ginyu Force members Berter and Jeice, after they fly around Goku for a few minuets they decided to start attacking. Goku defeclets there attacks with ease and they start hand to hand fighting in which Goku Knocks Berter out, and allows Jeice to escape. Vegeta who had been watching the fight from afar finishes Berter off. Jeice brings back Captain Ginyu and Ginyu demands a fight with Goku. Goku and Vegeta senses that no one is gaurding the Dragonballs which are at Frieza's ship and sends Krillen and Gohan off to get them. Captain Ginyu begins his fight with Goku. Incredible Force- Captain Ginyu and Goku begin there fight after a few minuets of fighting Ginyu can tell Goku isn't using his full power and insist that Goku use his full power. Goku begins powering up using the Kaiou Ken attack and his power level goes above anything Captain Ginyu anticapated. Frieza Approaches-This episode starts with Goku powering his power level continues to rise. Elsewhere Guru (The Namekian leader) sensing that Frieza is approaching his hut and bestows the gift of healing on his youngest boy Dende, also Nail(The strongest Namek warrior)returns to Guru's hut to portect him from Frieza. When Frieza arrives three Namek warriors come to fight Frieza and are beaten with ease by Frieza and are soon killed. I liked this one but not as much as the next one Captain Ginyu-Double Cross which has alot more action in it and things get more intresting.

Summary: Captain Ginyu-Assault Scores Big
Review: Even though I did not see the DVD version, I can guarantee a few things. But before that I`d like to say the Video`s quality was awesome. Even though the music still stinks, and the voices are worse than before. BUT, I know with the DVD version, for all of the episodes there will be: 1. The original Japanese version, with original soundtrack, original voices, and subtitles.Uncut only. 2. American version, both censored and Uncut. 3. Unimagineable features that only DVDs carry. 4.MAY NOT BE TRUE: Soundtrack from Movie. In this video Goku battles Jiece and Burter. Later, he battles Captain Ginyu himself!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IT'S HERE! YES! DBZ FANS REJOICE!
Review: Finally Crapimation(funimation) has done something right! We finally Have DBZ subbed, nearly perfectly translated into english, I must say that it's a long long time coming though. Atleast we have perfect DBZ, hopefully they will translate Cha-La Head Cha-La and Zenkai power into english for the opening and ending of the show, anyway this DVD is great, I bought my DVD player just for these DVD's I can't Wait until the next DVD comes out!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: About time!
Review: Finally subtitled Dragonball Z is in the United States (except the three movies of course). Now the otaku of America can stop searching through fansub sites trying to get some decent Dragonball. This video isn't so great in itself, but in what it gives us. I think people should be treated to hearing what the voices are supposed to sound like. Goku is supposed to have a high-pitched monkeylike voice. Kaio-sama (King Kai) is supposed to have a deep, serious voice until he starts acting goofy. Vegeta is supposed to have a more regal voice than his tough-guy one in the dub. All I can say is I can't wait till the Super Saiyan episode is released on DVD. I've heard the scream from when Goku first goes Super Saiyan, and no dubbing will ever repeat it. One last note, I like that the subtitles change to fit the names (such as Kuririn, Yamucha, Muten Roshi, etc.) rather than the subtitled movies when they kept the names the same as the dub, though anyone with ears can hear different names said.
