Dragon Ball Z - The Saiyan Conflict (Boxed Set I - Episodes 1-25)

I'm not going to sit here and type a huge description of every episode or give facts, because if you've never seen these episodes, you won't have a clue what I'm talking about.The writing on this show is fantastic. Terrific storylines, unique characters, awesome powers. After each tape ended I just popped in the next one. This is something you'll watch over and over again. It's kind of like pro wrestling, although you watch it and know what happens, you go back later and watch it again, and again, and again.I've read other reviews of this and other DBZ videos, and people whine and complain that they're edited. Now, if that's all you care about, then that's sad. If all you care about is violence and profanity, and you don't buy this set (or any other DBZ video) because it's "edited", then that's REAL sad.It's about the storyline. I knew this was edited, I knew it was "toned down" and I STILL loved it. And you will too.

As a kid back in 1996, this is the DBZ I grew up with. It may not look as awesome as the Dragon Box sets, the amount of editing is phenomenal, and the english voice acting is pretty bad most of the time. It just brings back to many awesome memories!How can I forget that scene where Nappa shoots down up a helicopter and Tien shouts out: "Look I can see their parachutes!! They're ok!" in an attempt to tone down the violence of the show...Or how when Vegeta and Nappa crash land and destroy a building; Vegeta says: "Too bad it's Sunday, tomorrow those buildings would've been full."tsk tsk.hahaah

The main enjoyment factor in this box set for mostly anyone over the age of 10 would be nostalgia. That statement is not entirely directed at Dragon Ball Z in general, but rather the dub on these English box sets. You may remember the funky episodes of DBZ (pre-Friez saga) where everyone had different voices and the dialogue was laughable, often a bland description of what the character was doing or how what they were doing made them feel, or even more common, a poorly crafted insult that really could have done well not being there. I have no on-hand examples, but a reminiscent example might be "We have to take out this pea-brained numbskull! Quick!, Let's attack!".If nostalgia does have a heavy hand in bringing you to this page, however, then I say go for it. At the very least it's noise in the background; sailing on a nostalgic stream of cheese.

Thank you

Just what I wanted, thank you.Yours truly,Michael Browne

YES!!! After years and tons of searching... I finally found these Ocean Dub boxed sets at reasonable to great prices!!! FULLY SATISFIED!!!

son was very happy with his purchase

ppl always spam how horrible this dub is but guess what. its the version that put dbz on the map in america. the voices and music are completely different from all the other versions. ida know, it has character. so what if funi has better sound effects, i could care less. this is exactly what i saw on cartoon network and loved every single minute of it. if you want some variety and dont listen to half the people who haven't even watched it!, then give this one version a shot.

Being a huge Dragonball Fan, I had high expectations from the outset and am so pleased that I was able to watch all the episodes in a row without waiting. There is nothing negative for me say. If however you are new to Dragonball, I would recommend you start with Son Goku Dragonball...so you can understand the story a little more.

DBZ is the best
