Dragon Ball Z - Season 9 (Majin Buu Saga)

When I started watching the first couple of episodes I thought "Wow! This is a great season to have". They differently went above and beyond with this season. Season 9 is a perfect 50/50 balance of humour and action. There was an intense moment where the mad man shot Mr. Satan and where Majin Buu was expelling all of the evil inside of him. The fight between the good and evil Majin Buu was great and the good Buu got a taste of his own medicine by turning himself into a piece of chocolate, thanks to the efforts of the evil Buu. Piccolo also did a great job by being the leader, in the absence of Goku, Gohan & Vegeta. One thing that is difference about this season is that all of Goku's friends and family die at the hands of the evil Majin Buu. Like Ox King, Chi Chi, Mr Popo, Master Roshi etc who have played minor parts throughout the Dragonball and Dragonball Z but have appeared constantly. This is also the first time that a DBZ villain has managed to kill the entire Earth's population and blows up planet Earth. The fight between Gotenks and Super Buu was funny and action packed at the same time. I liked the different arsenal of attacks that Gotenks used on Buu. They had so many different ones with interesting names as well. I suppose the reason why Piccolo was in shock at the Lookout being destroyed is because Kami is apart of Piccolo, and Kami use to be the guardian so he also didn't like when the Lookout is destroyed, especially when Garlic Jnr first appeared to Kami in Season 4. It is great to see that the Old Kai gave up his life so Goku could return to Earth. For a while I thought Goku was happy being dead and never wanting to be wished back to life so he can see his family and friends again. When Dende was healing Gohan, and then Super Buu wanted to kill Dende after seeing his ability to heal, I thought back to Season 3 (Freiza Saga) and the reason why Frieza killed Dende is because he saw Dende heal Piccolo and so Dende could have died a second time for the same reason he did the first (Super villain sees Dende heal a Z fighter and so Super villain must kill Dende). Goku should have imagined what he would look like if he fused with Mr Satan's dog (just for fun). It is great to see Videl, Chi Chi and Bulma have caught up with Dabura in heaven and that Dabura has changed completely from the King of the Demons to a happy, loyal and loving spirit. My favourite Vegito episodes are `Vegito...Downsized' and `Incredible Fighting Candy'. The reasons why I liked these two and not the first two `Meet Vegito' and `Rip in the Universe' are because they were more fast and interesting in terms of action. I liked `Incredible Fighting Candy' episode because even when Vegito is turned into a piece of candy he still manages to fight Buu in a comical and interesting way. Another great moment is where Goku & Vegeta travel inside Buu's body and fight the thought forms of Gohan, Piccolo and Gotenks. There is an intense moment where kid Buu destroys the Earth and Goku & Vegeta are running to escape it the energy ball. It is sad to see that Gohan, Piccolo, Trunks and Goten die in the explosion of planet Earth. I would have liked to see Gohan survive because he was alive for the large part of DBZ. It would have been great to see Gohan, to be the only Z-fighter that has not died throughout the entire series. Also Tien and Chiaotzu would have died in the explosion as well. Goku's fight with kid Buu was fast paced and the attacks were brutal. I like it when they show Hell in Other world, with bad guys such as Cell, Doctor Gero, Babidi, King Cold, Frieza, Appule and the 4 members of the Ginyu Force. I would have liked to have seen Nappa and Raditz talking about Vegeta and Goku since they both had some connection to them both. Also since Captain Ginyu the frog died in the explosion of planet Earth, I would have liked to see him return to his original body and meet up with the other members of the Ginyu Force. Vegeta's fight with kid Buu, showed he could really push his own limits and go beyond them. The fight between kid Buu and the fat Buu was comical & fun. One part is where the good Buu spits into 4 entities and pounds the hell out of kid Buu. It is great to see past characters, which don't play much of a part but still are around. Like the ones they showed: Upa & Bora, Android 17, Suno & Eighter (Android 8), Devilman and Nam. It really did make me happy when the people of the world giving up their energy in an effort to defeat Buu once and for all. What a great episode, to end off Dragonball Z.Another character they should have added is Launch. She should have been robbing a bank and points her gun at the hostages and they raise up their hands. The fight with Goku and Uub at the Martial Arts Tournament was electrifying. They should have made a movie between the 7-year gap of the end of DBZ and the beginning of GT with Goku training Uub. On the front cover, which has Super Vegito, I would have put one of the evil forms of Majin Buu, because like Season 3(Frieza) and Season 5(Perfect Cell) they have had the main bad guy on the front cover. Vegito only appeared in 4 episodes and so there aren't enough grounds for him to appear on the last season of Dragonball Z. If I had the power to change who gets to be on the front covers they will be: Season 1(Goku),Season 2 (Vegeta),Season 3(Frieza),Season 4(Krillin),Season 5(Piccolo),Season 6(Perfect Cell),Season 7(Great Saiyaman Gohan),Season 8 (Majin Vegeta or SS3 Goku) and Season 9 (Any one of the evil forms of Majin Buu) When I look at the entire story for Dragonball Z, I wouldn't change it. The things that have happened, happen for a reason. For example: * If Goku hadn't sacrificed himself to rid the world from Raditz, he would have never trained with King Kai and learned the Spirit Bomb and Kaioken Attack technique, which he has used throughout DBZ to vanquish enemies such as Turles, Lord Slug, Super Android 13, Doctor Wheelo and kid Buu (Goku did use the Spirit Bomb against Vegeta and Frieza but they survived it). * If Piccolo hadn't told Raditz about the dragonballs, Vegeta and Nappa would have never come to Earth. * If Nappa hadn't killed Piccolo, Bulma, Krillin and Gohan would never have gone to Planet Namek to revive their fallen friends. * And on planet Namek, a lot of Freiza's men were killed thanks to the local Nameks and Vegeta (who was spared by Krillin by Goku's plea) * If Frieza hadn't killed Krillin, Goku would never have transformed into a Super Sayian. * If Goku hadn't died a second time, during the Cell Games saga, Goku wouldn't have trained in Other World and attained levels Super Sayian 2 and 3. Out of the 9 seasons for DBZ, I actually like watching seasons 2,3,5,6,8 and 9. It doesn't mean I hate watching seasons 1,4 and 7. It just means from the beginning of one season to the end, it just has a lot more exciting scenes in it than seasons 1,4 and 7. In seasons 1,4 and 7 there are a few episodes which are a bit slow or I hate to say this `boring'. And that's it, for my review!

Dragon Ball Season Set may or may not include a printed booklet, which I could not care less. They can be downloaded from dragonballz.com anyway. Dragon Ball Z Season Set is by far the highest quality official release of Dragon Ball Z. I used to rent Dragon Ball Z from a Singapore rental store when I studied there, which turned out to be a poor-quality bootleg copy. Some people may favor higher-quality audio of English Dub. But it did not match every single word said in Japanese closely or wholly, essentially a localized version of Dragon Ball Z using the same video footage and basic storyline, with some differences in the interpretation of events. To me, Boo Saga established the ending for both the manga and Dragon Ball Z, once again confirming Goku is the strongest man in the universe who defeated the seemingly invincible Kid Boo against all odds, with the power donated by the people of earth who are pushed to their limits. The digital remastering of video footage is well done. I generally enjoy the video quality pretty much. The original producer of Dragon Ball Z did re-dub the Japanese audio in higher quality in a new installment, called Dragon Ball Z Kai (or Dragon Ball Kai), but instead for the original uncut version like its licensee did, the producer instead chose to create a "streamlined" version of it using the same video footage, with Boo Saga may be released in the future according to some rumors. Personally, I would favor the re-dubbing of Japanese audio the original uncut Dragon Ball Z. As such, I completely dismissed "Kai" entirely when I have Dragon Ball anime series (508 episodes, 16 seasons) in possession, especially FUNimation did do a good job in the digital remastering of video footage. The original Japanese audio may be mono, but the Japanese audio track in Dragon Ball Z season sets are stereos, perhaps created by putting two same mono tracks into two channels. Dragon Ball Season Sets (the first installments) did have the one-channel mono tracks. Frankly, they did not have much time left to do the re-dub for Japanese audio with the original sound actors, as they are getting older. If they chose different actors, it would no longer be "original". If the local dubbing did not create its own interpretation or version of the story, I would happily jump over to English dubbing. Until then, I am ready to put up with this Japanese audio track, with English subtitle, of course. Do I like Boo Saga? I like it so much that I recently published a blog post at [...] titled "Boo Saga, Goku, and Copyright". You can also see the picture taken for the DVD covers at [...] I give Dragon Ball Z Season 9 and the entire Dragon Ball anime series 5 stars!

Dragon Ball Z's Final Chapters! The Z fighters Battle, To Take The Formidable Majin Buu Down In This Finale Of The Buu Saga. IT'S INDEED THE BEST Action Pack Season Set, Which Ends The Series OF DRAGON BALL Z! Finally Funimations decide to be nice to us by releasing another Season Set and including all the remaining episodes of DBZ. I still remember A couple years back, when I spent almost $50 dollars just for the 5 DVD Set that only included the Kid Buu saga, Not only were the Old DVD's expensive and almost impossible to find, there were also a total space waster. Season nine set is A must have! Not only is it cheaper, It's a non-stop fierce action show, that never stops to take it up to the next level, not even to the every End. (It also helps that the size of the Set doesn't take up a lot of room like the Pervious 1999-2003 Sets.) So, finally having the Funny Guys at FUNImations releasing very easy to find Season Sets at $30 price range, make me want to slap my self for even attempting to collect over 80 DVD's of DBZ. I really wish they would of released these Season Sets a long time ago and The way they take there sweet A$$ time to re-release this Series makes me wonder if there going to Re-re-release them again on (blu-ray) or try to release them like they did in Japan, with the Dragon Box which included all 291 Episodes in Two Large Box Sets and also included a large amount of DVD EXTRAS!!! Hmm.... Funimations! the ball's in your court!

DBZ collection completed so happy to be done with it

I love DragonBall Z since I was little. To have this collection in my procession is amazing to me because for a long time I couldn't find the shows for DBZ. Now that technology has changed since the 90s, a lot of remakes are being made. This version is from the original Japanese intro and outros. I grew up on the 90s version of the intro and outros(definitely not the same and the 90s version was in English) so for this one I was a bit surprised but the picture is clear as it can be. Also, it is NOT like the Toonami version that the US was given. It is the original Japanese version of the show. The shows are in English, clear, precise, no commercials, just a small 10 second cut away, in each episode. I can sit an watched these all day because as you know back on TV the commercials was so annoying so to have no commercials and you transition well between shows, it is a TREAT. Go get your popcorn, and relax cause you will be officially apart of the show. Its a WONDERFUL collection. I just love it. If you are a DBZ fan, you must get it!!!!!

I have to say the product is fine and the quality is superb, but the circumstances in getting my order to me and the problems with it are why I am giving a negative review. I am not sure where or who made the fault(s), but I ordered the DBZ Season Nine set earlier before Christmas. I received it in perfect timing before Christmas, however, when I opened it the booklet was missing. So I asked Amazon to replace the item through their returns program. I since then have received three, rather two more season nine sets and all three did not have the booklet although they were in new condition wrapped and everything! So the dilemma of trying to find out what is really going on here! What is three New Condition season nine sets being sold without booklets?! Either from Funimation or from Amazon! Someone please let me know what I should do? I have the mind to ask for a refund and be done with it and order another set from Funimation and hope that it was opened to remove the booklets and resell in New Condition!

Let's just get this out of the way. Many hardcore DBZ fans do not like these Orange Brick releases due to them being cropped for widescreen tvs and pick on the cleanup process being less than stellar. Come on....this anime aired in Japan in 1989. How good do you them expect it to look?? The package is nice, I like the Bruce Falconer track, the discs look great and the entire set looks great together. The picture quality is good...it won't blow you away, but unless they completely redraw the entire anime is never going to look like something that is more recent. The cropping rarely is bothersome....every now and then you will come across a scene and you will notice it, but for the most part you will not unless you are comparing images side by side. Now for S9 itself. I am probably in the minority here, but I think DBZ reached its pinnacle at the Frieza saga. Goku going Super Saiyan...nothing tops that to me. The Android/Cell saga was good too. Everything after the Cell games though just took a turn for the worse. I still love the show, but it never reached those heights again.

Very nice movie graphics and trusted seller!

Great show for kids and adults

Schnelle Lieferung und gute Qualität! Tasächlich in Japanischer Sprache!

So finally we have all 9 seasons of DBZ out in the UK. Although this is the end of Z the next series which is called Dragonball GT is coming out on DVD in the UK in January next year so look forward to that. Also if GT sells well then Manga UK will probably release the original Dragonball too. Anyway this season includes the Fusion and Kid Buu sagas. Watching these sagas again brings back a lot of happy memories from when they aired on CNX way back in the day. Basically Fat Buu has become friends with Mr Satan and has become good. But unfortunately certain events lead to him splitting into 2 people, Good Buu and Evil Buu who is skinny and pure evil. After a battle Evil Buu turns Good Buu to chocolate and eats him which then causes him to transform into Super Buu who is way more powerful than his previous forms. We get to see Super Buu battle with Gotenks(who manages to become Super Saiyan 3), then Mystic Gohan(Gohan who has had his hidden powers awakened by Old Kai), then Super Buu absorbs Piccolo and Gotenks and becomes even stronger and eventually absorbs Gohan too which takes his power to an even higher level. Then we get to see Goku and Vegeta fuse to become Vegito and fight Super Buu. Eventually Vegito gets absorbed too(on purpose though) and splits back into Goku and Vegeta who travel through Buu's insides and managed to free not only Gohan, Goten, Trunks and Piccolo but also Fat Buu which then causes Super Buu to become Kid Buu who is insane and destroys the earth without hesitation. Then we get to see Goku and Vegeta take turns battling Kid Buu until eventually Goku has to use the Spirit Bomb to finally finish Kid Buu off for good. 10 years later there is a Tournament were Goku fights Uub (Kid Buu reborn as a good person) and then decides to train him to help defend the earth from future bad guys. All in all this is a really epic and action-packed finale that does DBZ justice. The highlights are Goku vs Kid Buu which is a really close and epic fight, Mystic Gohan vs Super Buu which is the coolest beatdown since Gohan vs Cell, Vegeta vs Kid Buu, Vegito vs Super Buu and the final part of the battle with Kid Buu were everyone on earth unites to make the Super Spirit Bomb. But honestly all the fights in this are really entertaining. This Season is right up there with the Frieza saga and the Cell Games saga. And it's great seeing Goku come back to life and become the main hero again. As always there are 3 sound options: 1. English voices and English music 2. English voices and Japanese music 3. Japanese voices and Japanese music I would highly recommend watching it with English voices and English music first. The dub music by Bruce Faulconer is really epic and nostalgic. And it fits DBZ better than any other score. It also brings back happy memories of watching DBZ on CNX years ago and being creeped out by Super Buu's creepy theme music. You'll get to hear lots of great music if you set it to English like the Super Saiyan 3 theme, Super Buu's theme, Mystic Gohan's theme, Vegito's theme, Kid Buu's theme, the Super Ghost music and the Buu is fighting music to name a few. If you are a DBZ fan then you owe it to yourself to get this. Trust me you won't regret it.
