Review: Watch this - Great show
Review: This is the DBZ you grew up loving - ...except its not Ocean Dub, its Funimation U.S. dub " ) Many reviewers on this site and others will say that it is NOT the same as watching it when they were little because it has been altered to be a 16x9 aspect ratio versus the original 4:3 ratio. While it was indeed created for 4:3 viewing, and the purists out there will always want it in that way (I enjoy both 4:3 and 16:9), and you can definitely tell a difference in what is "cropped off" and what is not in some DBZ releases, such as Kai versus the orange box DVD sets, this new blu-ray release of the orange box sets is actually much better. They took time to make sure that less of the image is cropped off than before ( on the orange box sets) while still clearing up the picture to make it look like most HD quality videos today. Now don't get me wrong - I really enjoyed the DBZ Level Sets,which were in 4:3 aspect ratio, grainy, old looking - it was like reliving my childhood. However, I understand the reasons for Funimation doing what they did. There are those who are saying "this is crap... stop bsing us Funimation... we want DBZ in blu-ray at 4:3 quality, just how it used to be!!! >:(((". Well, they did that with the level sets (1.1, 1.2) and due to it being really expensive to take the original film prints and code them over to blu-ray and the dissapointing sales on the level sets, they had to cancel it. Then they even went as far as to make a poll, asking users if they prefer the original 4:3 aspect and quality, or if they would like them to make it in 16:9 and today's quality HD. Although tons of users complain about the 16:9, the voters actually picked 16:9! It's cheaper for Funimation to make since its today's standard and can sell it cheaper so fans can buy more episodes per $. Trust me, I have bought all the DBZ available (orange brick, rock the dragon, kai, all movies in dvd and blu ray, dragon boxes, level sets, etc.) And although I prefer the old-style cartoon grainy look with the 4:3 aspect ratio, it is immeasurably easier and still thoroughly enjoyable for Funimation to produce these sets and for us to buy them. My two cents: Please stop bashing Funimation for doing what their fans actually voted for, and support their releases by buying them so they will continue to release the full-length DBZ episodes in blu-ray, and not just the edited version of Kai. I love Kai, but I want both the filler episodes and Kai!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My lengthy honest review of this set and how it compares to other releases
*by J***V on July 24, 2014*

I have been wanting to buy a release of Dragon Ball Z for a few years now and I think this release is great. I'd like to clear up what the set doesn't have that I would have liked to have known beforehand. - This has a Play All and a Marathon Play option, Play All, plays all the episodes on disc plus the credit openings/outros, and "Last time on dragon ball z!" intros. Marathon Play (which I think is really cool), only plays the credit opening and "Last Time on Dragon Ball Z!" once at the beginning of the disc and the outro credits at the end of the disc. This makes things a bit more cinematic and helps cut down time so you can sit an watch 10 episodes all in a row without having to skip ahead or watch something you've seen a bunch of times already. This cuts off about 45 minutes (Discs run about 4 hours through play all and 3 hours and 15 minutes through Marathon Play) - No English subtitles for English dialogue. The only subtitles available are for the Japanese dialogue, which I don't understand because on my bluray player if I select subtitles manually it gives me 2 english options, when I select the first option it displays the Japanese to English translation and for the second option nothing appears. I don't know if the other seasons fixed this or not but I found that the case with Season 1 - For the first 2 seasons Bruce Faulconer hadn't done the music for Dragon Ball Z so what you get is the funimation score, from the Captain Ginyu saga (last few episodes of season 2 onward) Bruce Faulconers score takes the place of the second english option in the disc menus. - The Japanese intros Cha La Head Cha La and the outro song is only on the Japanese mono track, whereas the first audio option clearly says "English Dialogue with Japanese Music 5.1". The actual music during the episodes is from the Japanese version, just the intro and outro is different. - Also no "Rock the Dragon" song or opening on these sets. - I would have liked Vegetas first appearance (Red hair, green armor) to have been color corrected to match how he looks throughout the rest of the series. I consider myself a long time fan of Dragon Ball Z, I started watching Dragon Ball in Elementary School then I started collecting the VHS tapes. I eventually sold the tapes to buy the Orange Brick sets but relented at the last minute, once I found out about the awful cropping and colors. I got to borrow one from a friend and I found myself looking at all the imperfections and being critical of what got cut off from the cropping. Later on I heard about the Dragon Box sets, I bought one of them but was disappointed that they had no english music and had become out of print (out of print = rare = more $$$). I never actually heard of the level sets at the time they were being released, I don't think I had a bluray player at the time. If I had known I probably wouldn't have bought them, Averaging 17 episodes per release for 291 episodes, there would be 17 bluray sets, 17 bluray sets at $30 each would be $510 (I'm not sure how much the level sets were when they were released). $510 is a lot for a series with lots of filler episodes. When I first heard that funimation was yet again re-releasing the series I was hoping for a set that had both the Japanese and English music, 4:3 cropping, and used the bluray format for HD visuals. This set delivers on all fronts except for the original 4:3 cropping. I held off for a long time for this very reason thinking it to be like my experience watching the first season of the orange bricks. I finally decided to buy this recently and I'm glad I did. Yes this set is cropped, but it's not as badly cropped as the orange bricks. Funimation has done a decent job reframing the series this time around to include tops of heads and keeping what's important in the frame. I see a lot of reviewers bash this release for that reason alone but honestly once you start watching the episodes you don't notice anything is missing at all. It would have been great for the fans to receive the original 4:3 aspect ratio, but I find the new 16:9 cropped aspect ratio has ZERO impact on the story or how I remember it, so in my opinion it's a moot point, it would have been nice to have but a moot point nonetheless, though purists will say otherwise. I've seen another reviewer give it low reviews because of how the camera panning is sloppy and how in some scenes it looks like they just moved the camera to fit the frame in, I went in expecting to see this happening at every turn I've only seen this ONCE while watching the first season, it was in the third episode or something (When Raditz and Piccolo are talking about the Dragon Balls and someone points at Goku, the camera does a quick pan down at Goku laying there) and I haven't seen it happen again. I think they may have been going for a dramatic effect but it did kind of look like they just moved the camera to get the scene back in frame again. Also the grain from the original 16mm film source is gone which removes a lot of fine details and is noticeable when you watch the episodes. Overall this set looks amazing, more modern as the slipcover suggests. The colors pop but are not overly saturated Unless you are watching and comparing with the original 4:3 film format, you will always find something wrong with this release, whether it be the cropping, film grain that was taken out, or the colors. Enjoy it for what it is, a cleaned up "HD restored" version of Dragon Ball Z that will look great on your HDTV, the story is the same as you remember it and nothing in this release suffers from how Funimation has decided to present it. Compared to the previous releases this is the best version of Dragon Ball Z that is out right now, superior cropping from the orange bricks and audio options from the Dragon Boxes (Not counting the level sets because they aren't going to continue production on these). If you decide to purchase this set you won't be disappointed. At the price I don't see why not, if you find the cropping is too much for you, don't buy the rest. I've also heard that this is the last release of Dragon Ball Z that Funimation is planning on doing, if this series does well, they will work on Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT bluray releases. Hopefully they decided to release these in the original 4:3 format. If Funimation does decide to rerelease DBZ it probably won't be for a few more years. My suggestion? If you ABSOLUTELY don't want this cropped version check out the blu-rays of Dragon Ball Z Kai. DBZ Kai is meant to follow the manga more closely and they cut out all the extraneous filler episodes that plagued the original DBZ.
