In 1986, the animated adaptation of Akira Toriyama's manga Dragon Ball debuted on Japanese television, launching one of the most popular franchises in anime history. Dragon Ball introduced a special mixture of male bonding, rigorous training, martial arts fighting, slapstick comedy, and sci-fi action that scored a huge hit with boys and led to the follow-ups Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT--and numerous imitators. A small boy from another planet, Goku commands super-human strength, but he was raised in the remote mountains by an old man and he knows little of the world. Goku meets Bulma, who's trying to assemble the seven magical Dragon Balls so she can wish for a boyfriend. The naive boy and the hot-tempered girl join forces, then form a quarrelsome alliance with Oolong, the shape-shifting pig, and Yamcha, a dashing bandit with a metamorphic familiar, Puar. The heroes compete for the Dragon Balls against the pint-sized Emperor Pilaf (who wants to rule the world). After defeating Pilaf, Goku goes to study martial arts with Master Roshi, a lecherous but extraordinarily skilled old man. Goku and fellow student Krillin develop formidable powers that they use in the World Martial Arts Tournament. These episodes set the pattern for Dragon Ball and numerous other series: humans and creatures of all description train endlessly, then gather to pound the ramen out of each other before an audience. Naturally, the hero wins in an extended final match. The first adventures are lighter in tone and more broadly comic than the beginning of the darker Red Ribbon Saga. For years, the first13 episodes of Dragon Ball were only available in the U.S. in the heavily edited set Saga of Goku, to the chagrin of the fans. Following their successful release of the complete Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT, Funimation is presenting Dragon Ball uncut and digitally restored. The series probably looks better now than it did when it premiered, as it was reportedly filmed in 16mm. Note: The sight of the prepubescent Goku and Krillin running around naked doesn't bother Japanese audiences. (Rated TV 14, but appropriate for ages 12 and up: nudity, risqué and toilet humor, cartoon violence, ethnic stereotypes, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

Awesome set for true fans, this set has everything you'd want from Dragon Ball. 5.1 English with 'english music' (though it's similar to the Japanese, Bruce Faulconer did not make music for DB), and Japanese mono. The film is 4:3 and remastered very well and clear. The path to completing the DB series has begun, don't get left behind!

Dragon Ball Z, is a show that just sucked me in from the very first episode I ever saw. The intensity and amazing fights and very adult like premise just made me a fan instantaniously. I had always known that the show Dragon Ball existed, but it took such a long time for America to get it uncut not to mention getting the rest of the show. Funimation finally put the whole Dragon Ball saga into season box sets and affordable prices and of cousre like the first time around Dragon Ball is the last one ... Read More

Well, I finally got this after a month and a bit.. (since I live in England) And i'm glad I did.. But when I opened my package, I looked on the back of the cover, to find that the Region Codes are only 1 and 4... I'm very disappointed in all this Region Code thing. America is Region 1 and pretty much 4, and England is Region 2... The past Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT Sets were all Regions 1, 2 and 4... So, I was delighted with them... I haven't seen Dragon Ball properly before, and was hoping they'd ... Read More
