Dragon Ball Z: Season 1 [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Contains Dragon Ball Z: Broly - Second Coming, Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Broly, Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn, and Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon. The scene where Bulma escapes from the cave to steal the Dragon Balls was completely redubbed, possibly owing to the master recordings being lost or too damaged to use. Other small changes were made to the script. All other scenes with Bulma were left completely intact. Eric Vale redubbed Christopher Sabat as Moori during his revival in episode 100. Mark Britten is still Moori's voice in episodes 105 and 107.

Linda Chambers-Young redubs her lines as Frieza. Her voice originally sounded more calm and woman-like. Here, her voice is more rough and threatening. It helps present continuity to the Namek Saga voice. Some of the grunts are the original lines and in episode 69's recap, the original dub lines for edited episode 54 can be heard.Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge.

Christopher Sabat gives a couple of groans to Recoome in " Ginyu Assault" after Jeice retreats whereas he was silent in the original version. Bizarrely, this was the only new material Recoome was given in the remastered dub. Due to the DVNR automatic process used to clean the prints, while it does greatly clear large amounts of dirt and grain, it accidentally blurs detail. Another effect is that, when the picture shakes, lines of detail are lost.Despite many alterations, the voices for Nail, King Kai, and Guru are left intact. Goku's voice, Jeice's voice, and Bulma's voice are also left mostly intact; only one of Bulma's scenes was redubbed, a few of Jeice's lines have been redubbed and one added in episode 68, and one of Goku's lines in episode 74 is an alternate take.

Christopher Sabat redubs portions of his work as Kami and replaces Chris Forbis for his appearances in Episodes 76-77.Kyle Hebert replaces Dale Kelly as the narrator. Dale Kelly voiced the narrator originally, but Kyle Hebert took over the role beginning with the Great Saiyaman saga, and later narrated the uncut version of the first 67 episodes. (Hebert's redubbed narration was first heard on the Cell Games Saga DVDs starting with Volume 50: Guardian's Return) Christopher Sabat continues to replace Mark Britten as Burter. For some reason, Mark Britten's voice is kept in Episode 92. Similar to Dale Kelly's grunts as Ginyu, most of Britten's battle grunts were retained for Burter.

NOTE: On the Dragon Ball saga sets that were released prior to the season sets, the subtitle translations were credited to Clyde Mandelin. On the new sets they are credited to Steven J. Simmons - although the translations are almost identical to the earlier sets. Some of the later season set discs are still credited to Mandelin. The first Dragon Ball Z Movie Collection box set features the first five movies in the Dragon Ball Z franchise. The discs are reused from the previous double feature sets. Bonus features are predictable, with a few sprinkled on the last disc of every season. For Season 1 there is just the (near pointless) textless opening and closing songs, but the other seasons have interview features (mainly with US voice cast) as listed below. Contains Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone, Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest, Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might, Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug, and Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge.

Christopher Sabat continues to redub his lines as Vegeta for the entire Season. Some battle grunts from the original are present, such as episode 77 and the beginning of episode 86. Also, the original dub voice can be heard in the recaps of episodes 87 and 101.
