Movie Reviews of Dragon Ball Z: Dragon Box One
Movie Review: ONE OF THE BEST CLASSIC ANIME SERIES
Summary: 5 Stars
Compared with modern releases of Anime, Dragonball Z may initially seem to be less daring and less on the cutting edge. This series takes a little while to grow on you. But it's worth watching and hanging on through the slower rough spots in the first season. By the time you start on Dragon Box Two, you'll realize that this series takes on some very hardcore issues in very dramatic style. The enemies that Goku and his son Gohan face are truly evil villains, mass-murdering torturing sick-minded people who wipe out entire civilizations for their own amusement or personal gain. There is never any doubt who the good guys are in this series, they are the ones sacrificing their own lives to save their world.
The series has a lot of light hearted moments and humor, which is good, because that offsets the very dark and very disturbing nature of many of the dramatically evil and violent events that occur. Seriously, there is some very nasty and horrifying stuff that occurs in this series. This long running anime series touches upon various genres including science fiction, horror, revenge and humor.
Because of some very nasty scenes in the series, I recommend no one younger than a teenager for this material. The box rating is PG, but I would bump that rating up a level to at least PG-13. In fact some of the scenes deserve an "R" rating for the violence.
The disks worked flawlessly. The video and audio were perfect. I also liked the cases the disks come in. The Dragon Boxes are packed with two hard-shell disk cases with three disks in each. Each disk contains seven episodes. The disks were easy to remove and put back in the case, and each Dragon Box comes with a hardcover book containing great images of the characters and descriptions of each episode.

Summary of Dragon Ball Z: Dragon Box One
The Ultimate for any Dragon Ball Z Collector!Originally produced in limited quantities in Japan, the incredibly rare Dragon Box has long been the ultimate prize for avid Dragon Ball Z collectors. Now this coveted collection has been reproduced for the first time in the United States, delivering the authentic original Dragon Ball Z experience to hardcore fans.
The battle to harness the power of the seven Dragon Balls explodes in vivid detail like never before. The Dragon Box features over 40 uncut episodes, remastered and restored frame by frame, rendering the legendary action in pristine clarity. Each episode is presented in Japanese with the complete opening and closing credits and includes the original episode previews.
Truly the essential edition for Dragon Ball Z purists, this set isn't an addition to your archive - it is your archive. Your wish is finally granted. The Dragon Box is here.
The American reissue of the first Dragon Box includes the reference volume "The Dragon Book" and episodes 1 to 42--all of season 1 (the Vegeta saga) and the first three episodes of season 2 (the Namek saga) of the Dragon Ball Z series. (When the original Dragon Box was released in Japan in 2003, it contained episodes 1 to 147 of Dragon Ball Z, a Son Goku action figure, and the "Dragon Book"--all for ?100,000, or about $1,100.) As the story opens, the adult Goku learns he's not an Earthling, but a Saiyan from the planet Vegeta. Only three other Saiyans survive, all of them extremely powerful and destructive. Goku slays Raditz with the help of Piccolo but dies in the process. He spends much of the season training in the Other World with King Kai. Piccolo takes over training Goku's son Gohan, anticipating he will have to face the remaining Saiyans, Nappa and Vegeta. The first season of Dragon Ball Z set the pattern of martial arts training, fantasy battles, and slapstick comedy that makes the series so popular. The first episodes of season 2 take Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma to the planet Namek to find an even more powerful set of Dragon Balls that can restore the lives of Tenshinhan, Yamucha, Chaozu, and Piccolo, who were killed by Vegeta during season 1. (Their souls are also training with King Kai.) Funimation remastered Dragon Ball Z from the original prints for their nine boxed sets of the individual seasons. Fans who already have those sets may decide that seeing the series in its original aspect ratio (rather than the widescreen version in the earlier sets) and acquiring the "Dragon Book" warrants buying the new box; viewers who are just discovering Dragon Ball Z will find the Dragon Box a handsomely packaged introduction. (Rated TV PG, suitable for ages 8 and older: violence, minor incidents of risqu? and toilet humor, ethnic stereotyping, and alcohol use) --Charles Solomon
