Goku is still missing in action after the destruction of the planet Namek, as the fourth season of Dragon Ball Z opens. With Goku unavailable, Gohan and the other Z-fighters must defeat Garlic Jr., who has reemerged from the Dead Zone with his accomplices, the Spice Boys. Gohan saves the Earth by ramping up his powers and destroying the planet Makyo, the source of Garlic's strength. Before the dust can settle a new menace arrives: A largely robotic version of Frieza and his more powerful father, King Cold. These villains are easily dispatched by a new Super Saiyan: Trunks, the illegitimate son of Vegeta and Bulma. Trunks has come from the future to save Goku from what would have been a fatal heart virus. Goku must live to prevent the Artificial Humans created by Dr. Gero from ravaging the Earth. (Gero was one of the leaders of the Red Ribbon Army, which Goku destroyed in Dragon Ball.) But Trunks' mission may have altered the future in ways he didn't intend: Instead of two Androids, there are three, all programmed to kill Goku. The season ends on a cliffhanger, with the fate of the Z-Fighters--and the Earth--hanging in the balance. Trunks' visit creates a number of paradoxes, including the problem of his existing as an adult and an infant in the same space-time. However, these questions are unlikely to trouble Dragon Ball fans, who will be too busy watching Vegeta training at 450 gravities, Gohan mastering his latent powers, Goku's new combat move, and any number of battles, not to mention the comic relief of Krillin's courtship of Maron and Master Roshi's continued lechery. Some of these epsiodes were recut into the feature The History of Trunks. (Rated TV PG. suitable for ages 8 and older: violence, alcohol and tobacco use, ethnic stereotypes) --Charles Solomon

Having returned victorious from their battle with Frieza the Z-fighters can at last breathe a collective sigh of relief... But they won't have long to rest. A new host of villains has appeared ready to wreak havoc on the Earth - and Goku the Z-Fighters' greatest hero is still missing!In the face of these new dangers a mysterious youth with Super Saiyan powers has come bearing a bleak prediction for the future: in just three years' time an evil greater than any the Z-Fighters have ever faced will emerge to cast a shadow of destruction and despair over the Earth. If the young Saiyan's prediction is correct the Z-Fighters will have to train like they have never trained before in order to have any hope against these seemingly unstoppable foes: the Androids!Format: DVD Genre: ANIMATION/ANIME UPC: 704400022463 Manufacturer No: 0

 Based on previous viewings. December 13, 2007

This has not been released yet so my review will be based on previous viewings of the episodes.
This is when things start to get really powerfull! DBZ has been called "The greatest action cartoon ever made!" I agree 100%. That being said this was/is the greatest season ever made. It's starts most likely with the Blackwater mist saga an auspicious begining. The only thing the B-W-M saga does is waste/fill time. Then we have the Trunks saga. This saga really shows how the power level has risen. With the eminant return of Frieza, Goku still missing, and a new frieghtfully powerfull young man, the drama is there. After everything settles down a bit The Z fighters find out about a new threat even greater than Frieza. Enter the Android saga. An enemy from Goku's past comes back to haunt him and his friends. A really dramatic action packed saga where Krilin falls for an attractive but vollatile advesary.
I really hope the original score is available for this season. There were some fantastic techno beats in this saga that I would love to hear in Dolby 5.1. I do find the original score is kinda fitting for the action in the first 3 seasons. So I won't be too disapointed if not.
If the first 3 realeses are any indication of quality expect a few chopped/cropped shots instead of actual widescreen. I know they had some real hard repair work to do on the original film, but don't sell me a mule and call it horse.
All in all a fantastic purchase for the DBZ fan or any fan of anime. Of course you should start at season one, but if you want to jump in without seeing every episode from the begining this is the season to do it.
Awesome!! January 2, 2008

I really wish people would stop complaining about the cropped widescreen versions. This is the 4th set and we all know what to expect. If you are a DBZ fan, you should pick these up and be happy that the entire series will be out for an affordable price. You never know, this could be the last time they put them out! Pick it up, awesome quality and this starts one of my favorite sagas.
If your a DBZ fan, you owe to yourself to buy these! December 26, 2007

If your a DBZ fan, you owe to yourself to buy these. DBZ is one of my most favorite anime series of all time. i happily bought all the domestic release tapes, and dvds as they were released, and i'll continue to buy these sets. some people choose to bash this set based on the episodes. well to me you can't say you have all of DBZ without these episodes. for me, these sets are a must.
 Great Anime Series, But Needs Much Revising January 12, 2008

Okay, I'll confess that I love DBZ. I've loved the show ever since it first aired on Toonami, and I still do. However, the only thing that irritates me to no end about the remastered sets is the color quality. Everyone can agree with me when I say that the original aired version of DBZ had great color quality. The whole show had beautiful color schemes combined with the variety of movement. It was absolutely perfect. However... the newly remastered sets have a dull and somewhat lifeless color pattern. It's just not the same!!! Now, I hate having to gripe about petty things like that, but I just had to get that off of my chest. Overall, it's still a good anime series. Even if it does have some crappy flaws to it.
