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.
I think what I like about this the most is that they have redone the voice acting. You can now watch the entire Dragon Ball Z series start to finish with the same voice actors. That and the fact that you can get most of these sets for $24.99 makes this a steal of a deal.

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 so good that I came back and got the second and third seasons. I'm planning right now to buy the rest of the seasons but need so money to do so.

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, which has 10 times Earth's gravity plus all the work that Freiza gave to the Saiyan race. Looking at Raditz he would probably be in his early 30s. I would understand if he had a power level of maybe 6 or 7 thousand.
This is the largest season of all with 39 episodes. It has a lot of different things happening leading up to the Saiyan battle. There are quite a few boring episodes, like `The Strangest Robot', `Plight of the Children', `A New Friend'.
The `Terror On Arlia' was a good episode and it showed what Saiyans are truly capable of.
In the booklet, it says that Vegeta and Nappa first appeared in Episode 11 `Terror On Arlia' but they actually appeared in episode 5 `Gohan Rage' just after Raditz is defeated, Vegeta & Nappa are on a distant planet making plans to travel to Earth to wish for eternal life.
The Piccolo cover shot for Season 7 should be on Season 1 because it fits into what happened during Season 1.
The other Z Fighters who take part in the Saiyan battle could have won the battle even without Goku. Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu & Krillin train in the Pendulum Room and out on top of the Lookout, which would explain their power levels being equal to that of a Saibamen. As Kami says `These men are full of fire but it's still not enough'. Kami should know that the Hyperbolic Time chamber is still there on the Lookout.
It is a pity that all the people that Nappa killed (East City, the reporters & journalists and the people in the military and the other city) weren't brought back to life through the dragonballs. Nappa was fierce and I felt he could of turned up the intensity and gone completely berserk. I think, Piccolo had to die because it would have given Goku, Krillin, Gohan and Bulma a reason to travel to Planet Namek. Also letting Vegeta go was also a right thing to do because he killed Qui, Dodoria, Zarbon, 4 Ginyu Force members and lots of Freiza's guards. If Krillin killed Vegeta with the sword back on Earth, Goku would have came and only fought Cui, Dodoria, Zarbon, 4 Ginyu Force members but not killed them. Thanks to Vegeta's ruthless side, he destroyed those henchmen who would have been responsible for killing thousands of innocent people from other planets. So getting rid of them was the right thing to do.
The fight between Goku and Vegeta was great! Goku's Kaioken Attack made for good watching. And having Vegeta transform into the Giant Ape was an added bonus. Looking at what Vegeta did to Goku in the Giant Ape state meant that Goku could of died a second time. Goku's body was crushed when Vegeta stamped on his legs, squeezed his body and crushed his body with his hands and Goku over exerted himself with the Kaioken Attack.
The other thing I can't understand is that battle went on for 2 days. Goku tells Master Roshi that he will arrive a day later. It should have been 2 days for Goku to get back to the Check In station in Other World since the trip on Snake Way is 10,000 miles long and he is in another dimension. On Earth, the fighting should have gone for the entire day starting about 8am and finishing around 6:30 to 7pm.
Overall this is a good season. Just a few episodes before the Saiyan battle can be boring. I rate it 4 out of 5.

I love Dragon Ball, from the beginning till the end!! Amazon is really great for selling it for such a low price.... I got it in perfect condition, and I live across the ocean. I got all six dvds 39 episodes of the Vegeta Saga! You can choose Japanese or English,but PLEASE,choose Japanese case English dub SUCKS!!!
There's only one thing I have a problem with!! Soo, Funimation worked with the quality of the picture and made it better... AS IF!!! Maybe the colors are better,but the picture keeps going up and down... This can only be seen if you really look into the screen... But I forgave them since DBZ is 20 years old!
Anyway... everything is great, I'm satisfied and can't wait to buy the rest of the seasons!! If you like DB, buy this case it's worth it... And you can't find a better one!
