Dragon Ball Z in All of it's Glory!

Originally I had intended on reviewing each season as it’s own separate review, but upon realizing that basically every DVD boxset was exactly the same, I decided just to review the DVD set’s themselves as a whole.
So let’s start with the meaty portion of the sets shall we? That’d be the episode’s. Every single DBZ Season set comes with an unprecedented amount of 30+ episodes, usually totaling in the 700+ minutes range on 6 disks. When you think of this along with the fact that the DVD’s are priced at a nice $30 at your local Wal*Mart, you are definitely getting a great bargain. The DVD’s cover the various saga’s and include EVERY episode from that saga.  With anime DVD’s being as overpriced as they usually are, when it comes to episode count and price, this is a steal.
Now how do they look? As you probably know, all of the DBZ cartoons were shot a long time ago. Any DVD or VHS tape that you pick up from before these current season box sets were grainy and hard to watch. These sets have been beautiful remastered in high definition. The grain can still be seen time to time, but all in all, it looks crystal clear and brighter than usual. The audio has been re-done as well, offered in 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround sound for your ears pleasure. Everything has been redone from top to bottom making these sets beautiful and enjoyable to watch.
The only part where these DVD’s fall is when it comes to special features. There are basically none at all. You can have the original Japanese voices and English subtitles, standard fare in any anime DVD. Also, there is the option to listen to the English voices with the Japanese music playing instead of the American broadcast music for all the fan boys out there who would argue to their final breathe that DBZ is nothing without it’s original music. There is also what is called a “Marathon Feature”. When you click on this, you will begin to see the intro song for DBZ, then it will play every episode on the DVD straight through with no interruptions except for the little thing they showed in between commercials in Japan. This feature is nifty and allows for a smooth non stop DBZ experience. Past these three things however, there are no other special features to mention.
For it’s price tag, the DBZ season sets are a steal. You’re basically paying $1 an episode, sometimes 75 cents, to have one of the best action cartoons in the world redone in high def with redone scripts with the newer voice actors, and being able to choose whether you want Japanese or English voices with Japanese or English music. The only drawback is the lack of special features you get. But for this cheap, the lack isn’t really noticeable, making for an amazing Dragon Ball Z experience for an equally amazing price.
