It's pretty much a great buy, especially after all the remastering done to it. The choice is certainly a welcome one, if you ask me.ДЈ9 episodes on a total of 6 discs, in a decent box set. Not only is there the Japanese language option and the English-TV-language option, but we now also have the English language with Japanese audio option! These early episodes actually benefit from this, as the new music made to cover these episodes doesn't have the same feel as the music used in later sagas from Funi.

On top of this, combining the widescreen with the camera angles and fighting used in this season, the entire experience turns almost cinematic without being a movie.ДЄs if this wasn't enough, Funimation has now redeemed itself for not being able to license the original music back in the mid-1990s.

Further, this remaster wound up being redone from the original Japanese masters, as well - making this nearly HiDefinition all by itself. Most examples include actually adding screen space rather than chopping it off (though there were some scenes where there were things lopped off the top and bottom), giving an entirely new feel to the series. This is complete with a better-written script, insanely good voice acting, and even multiple episodes worth of footage restored to pristine quality that were originally cut because they weren't 'actiony' enough.Дў) Determined to make this worthwhile, Funi also decided to go back to the old animation cels and animations and turn the entre experience into one of WIDESCREEN. Not simply satisfied with collecting episodes, Funimation also made some changes to the format.ДЎ) Because they no longer had the rights to use the Ocean dub, Funimation has gathered up all the VAs from their own coverage of Dragonball Z and gotten them to completely redub the old Ocean-dubbed episodes. The first 'season' boxset of Dragonball Z goes from the start of the series, all the way up through the 39th episode where the characters finally start the second saga by heading to the planet Namek. Thus, there was one bizarre discontinui ty between the earlier episodes and later episodes - with some characters sounding drastically different. However, as time went on, Funimation changed their deal and had to provide voices on their own (though Canada and the UK still had the Ocean dub, for some bizarre reason). However, it's been treated more than a touch differently.Д«ack when it was first released in America, Dragonball Z was heavily censored and changed - all to meet regular network standards, and Funimation's original licensing deal granted them use of the voice talent from Ocean, a group better known for their Gundam dubs these days. Mostly because it's airing in America has proven so prolific, it's popularity among anime fans is pretty much the same as it's popularity in Japan. Finally, Dragonball Z gets redubbed and remasteredД®ver since the late 1990s, one has really been unable to think about anime without thinking of Dragonball.
