One of the most popular franchises in anime history, Dragon Ball began in 1984 as a manga by Akira Toriyama in Shonen Jump.Dragon Ball Z (1989), the second TV adaptation, is the most beloved: it ran for 291 episodes--more than Dragon Ball (1986) and Dragon Ball GT (1996) combined. Over the years, the program has introduced countless boys to the world of Japanese animation. The first season re-introduces the main characters and sets up a new threat. Goku learns he's not an Earthling, but a Saiyan from the planet Vegeta. Only three other Saiyans survive, all of them extremely powerful and destructive. Goku destroys Raditz with the help of Piccolo, but dies in the process. He spends much of the season training in the Other World with King Kai. Piccolo takes over training Goku's son Gohan, anticipating he will have to face the remaining Saiyans, Nappa and Vegeta. These episodes set the pattern for the combination of martial arts training, fantasy-battles and slapstick comedy that make the series so popular. The storyline rambles, with lots of digressions, repeats, and false endings--none of which bother the fans. Although Dragon Ball Z has been released previously in the US, Funimation pulled out all the stops for this edition. The entire series has been remastered from the original prints, and the Japanese language track is included for the first time. (Goku and Krillin have higher-pitched, younger voices than they do in the American dub.) For Dragon Ball Z fans, this version clearly supercedes all previous ones. (Rated TV PG. suitable for ages 8 and older: violence; minor incidents of risqué and toilet humor, ethnic stereotyping and alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

- What cropping??
Let me start off by saying this...If you are worried about buying this set because of the well known "cropping-issue" don't be.It's not nearly as bad as most people make it out to be.I finished watching it and there was not one instance where I could point out that it had in fact been cropped from the original episodes.I had to go online and find the comparisons to even notice.So yes there is cropping but in my opinion it in no way took away from the amazing experience of watching DBZ. ...

Rating: - Season One
I about 20 years old and have been watching Dragon Ball Z as well as other Anime TV show and movies. I bought the first season because I wanted to see some Dragon Ball Z but it was it on the TV. So I went looking for some and I found the first season with 39 in a box set. I really enjoyed watching all of the show. The show were better then I expected. Which is to say that I didn't expect a whole lot of a change from the TV shows but they were the best I had very seen of Dragon Ball Z. The shows were ... Read More
Rating: - Great beginning to a great series
I've been watching Dragon Ball Z since I was a child, and it's great to see the series come to season form. Definitely recommend it.

Dragonball Z Season 1
It is called the Vegeta Saga but it really should be called the Saiyan Saga because Goku learns his origins from his past from his older brother, Raditz and King Kai. Another reason is that two Saiyans, Nappa and Vegeta, come to Earth to take it over which results in an epic battle.
The one thing I just can't understand is how Raditz can have power level of 1,200. It is just so small even for a Saiyan! Like all Saiyans, they grow up and train on Planet Vegeta, ... Read More
