 This DVD is Amazing. April 10, 2005

Yes, this is the new release of the Saiyan Saga, (Now called the Vegeta Saga) and it's now ALOT better than it was before. I just recently purchased the DVD on Wed. and it's not just the new re-dubbing, new music, more blood, and all that good stuff, but you get to see a whole bunch of scenes that was originally taken out by Pioneer. Lets put it this way, for those of you who remember the Saiyan Saga, you know that Raditz was dead by the end of the 3rd episode. Well in the new version, they added so many scenes that were originally taken out, that by the end of the third episode, the fight with Raditz had just started. It really is a new experience, even though you've already seen the episode before. To any DBZ fan, I highly recommend purchasing this DVD. It also has alot of really cool bonus features, none of which have ever been seen by any other DBZ DVD, such as interviews, and a fun quiz. Even if your new to the whole Dragonball Z thing, I still highly recommend buying this, because now you can see what started Dragonball Z, "The way it was meant to be seen."
Uncut Saiyan And Namek Saga! February 23, 2005

Finnaly after years of Pionner owning the videorights to the first and second Season, Funimation finally get's the rights and re-dubs them in their Uncut glory. 12 episodes worth of footage was removed from the original dub and many DBZ fans including me never got to see what they've been missing, but now they can! The 1st volume of the collection is "Saiyan Showdon" which inlcudes actual special features unlike the other DBZ DVDs:
Goku Vs. Vegeta ( 30 min Coversation with VA's Sean Schemmel and Chris Sabat)
Follow The Nimbus Cloud: Feature added to show the difference in footage from the Edited and Uncut that can be choosen from the menu.
DBZ Trivia: An exiting Trivia game to see how much you really know about this famous Series.
Don't forget to continue this collection with the future DVD releases. I know I won't!
 This is my first review on Amazon... April 7, 2005

I found this starter set at Best Buy a week before it's supposed to come out. I would've given it 5 stars, except there were a few things that could have been better.
The good:
All of these episodes are, of course, completely uncut. They have been remastered with new music and opening/closing sequences. The new opening features rock music that seems to match well with the series. There are four audio tracks: English 5.1 surround, English stereo, Japanese mono, and Spanish. There are also more special features than most other DB/DBZ DVDs, including a 28 minute interview with Chris Sabat (Vegeta, Piccolo) and Sean Schemmel (Goku, King Kai). The starter set also comes with an exclusive Goku action figure.
The not-so-good:
There are only three episodes on this disc ("The New Threat", "Reunions", and "Unlikely Alliance"). Like all of FUNimation's other DB and DBZ episodes, they neglected to include the next-episode previews. The DBZ trivia could have also been better. When you select an answer, it just shows a clip of what the question refers to so you can see if you got it right. When the trivia is finished, it just goes back to the menu.
Finally, the first fifty episodes uncut!!! A review by CYD January 31, 2005

Yes folks. In the first fifty episodes of Dragon Ball Z, there were actually bits and pieces from 70 episodes from Japan. That's right; the episodes from the Saiyan and Namek Saga were cuts and pastes, with heavy cencorship and many episodes unaired. Now, they're here. If you want these episodes earlier, you can get subtitled Dragon Ball Z DVD imported box sets with 27 episodes for only $30 [...] in the imported DVD section.
