Great series, but the DVDs are a rip-off
Dragonball Z series (aired 1989-1996, DVD releases 1999-present.) <
> <
>INTRODUCTION: <
>The Dragonball saga is one of the most successful anime series of all time, and it isn't hard to see why. With the series. Akira Toriyama created a worldwide phenomenon that shows no signs of letting down, long after its completion. The Z series, second in the Dragonball series (consisting of the original series, Z, and GT) is the most popular by far. The series has been released numerous times on numerous formats. In recent years, the series was redubbed and reissued on DVD. Home video releases have not been kind to the series in a number of ways. Is this time any different? Read on for my review. <
> <
>OVERVIEW (PRODUCT): <
>Dragonball Z originally aired in Japan from 1989-1996, and the edited dubbed version aired in America from 1996-2003. These DVDs feature a new English language dub track, as well as the original Japanese subtitled track. Each disc features three episodes and retails for around twenty-five dollars. <
> <
>OVERVIEW (SERIES): <
>The Dragonball Z series was Akira Toriyama's sequel to his earlier Dragonball series. While the original series began as an adventure/comedy series, it gradually shifted more toward pure action. Dragonball Z picks up where the original series left off, continuing in the action-driven direction. Toei Animation did the anime based on the manga, and often added some subplots not vital to the story which were not featured in the original manga. The manga remains the definitive telling of Toriyama's story, but for the most part Toei handled the transition well. And definitive edition of the anime is the Japanese subtitled version. <
> <
>REVIEW (SERIES): <
>Dragonball Z rules. Period. The series has a "love it or hate it" reputation, but when this series wins you over, it stays with you forever. With lots of interesting characters, technology, and some of the best fantasy Anime combat around, it's awesome. Just be sure you see it in all its uncensored Japanese subtitled glory. THAT is the way it was meant to be experienced. <
> <
>REVIEW (DVD): <
>If such a great series, then why only three stars? Simple. THESE DVDS ARE A RIP-OFF! TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS for only THREE EPISODES!? Even with the dub and sub tracks, that's outrageous. Many TV shows offer then entire SEASON for the same price that FUNimation is asking for a measly three episodes. This is why I always have and always will endorse buying bootlegs. Until FUNimation can bring us Dragonball Z at a reasonable price, stick to getting bootleg DVD copies. <
> <
>OVERALL: <
>I LOVE this series. Always have, always will. But the outrageous price and the limited amount of episodes you get for that price is unforgivable. I strongly recommend the series, but if you want it uncensored on DVD, go with bootleg copies. There is no excuse for FUNimation charging for three episodes what some TV shows charge for their entire season. <
> <
>EDITION NOTES: <
>These new DVDs are readily available in most major retailers of Anime DVDs. Sadly, the price doesn't really differ from retailer to retailer, meaning you're going to almost inevitably be ripped off. <

Goku dies!
In the secoud volume of the Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Uncuts series Goku and Piccolo keep on fighting Raditz but nothing seems to work. After a attack from Raditz Gohan is shocked and unleashes a extremly powerful attack at Radtiz knocking him out for just a while but then knocks out Gohan. Goku and Piccolo come up with a plan to use Piccolos spiceal beam cannon attack to kill Raditz. After a faluire attemp Goku must sacrfice his life to safe the earth. It was so cool and kinda sick when the special beam cannon attack went through Raditz beacuse he coughed up alot of blood. Anyway Raditz tells Piccolo that 2 more syains are coming to earth in one year to dystroy it. Piccolo decides to take Gohan with him to train and become stronger to defeat the sayians once they come. This was a really cool Dvd but it was kinda sad to see Goku die. Anyway good buy to add to your ultimate uncuts box set if you have one.

The battle with Raditzs continues!!!
First off,this DVD is much better in presentation than the first one. The image is more consistent and there are a lot of fight scenes. It's a shame that it only has three episodes. Now for the audio, there are three options:spanish,japanese and, english. Up till now I've only heard the japanese track and it's okay. The english language track has stereo and 5.1 surround sound. This time around there are two menus: english and, suprisinly spanish. The only other thing that bothers me is that it doesn't have any special features like the featurrete from the first one. Thank god that it still as the trivia game. I'll make my review of vol.3 as soon as I get it. Up till next time, i'm off !@!!
