Good anime series, bad dub.......2003-12-31
EPISODE SUMMARIES:
-Showdown In The Past: In a special room in Kami's lookout, Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Yamcha are sent back in time 100 years to battle Saiyans of the past for their training. Unfortunately, they end up being stronger than they ever could have imagined. To make things worse, Kami states that the Saiyans on their way to earth are even stronger.
-The End Of Snake Way: Gohan turns into a were-monkey again, and Piccolo has to stop him. He does so. Goku reaches the end of Snake Way, where he meets the mysterious King Kai.\
-A Fight Against Gravity... Catch Bubbles: King Kai's planet has VERY high gravity. To put this to use in Goku's training, King Kai tells Goku to catch Bubbles, his pet monkey. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done in the high gravity.
EPISODE OPINIONS:
Here's where the dubbed version took a nose dive. It's doubtful that the Saiyans the Z-team battled were really back 100 years, because this was probably when the Tuffles still were the dominant race on Planet Vegeta. These Saiyans have scouters, a piece of Tuffle technology, so this is obviously after they took over the planet and renamed it Vegeta. Also, it is soon revealed that the Saiyan homeplanet has ten times the gravity of earth, yet the Z-crew is unhindered.
DVD:
This DVD is good because it has better picture quality than a VHS tape, but horrible because it only contains the edited dub, and not an uncut sub like later Dragon Ball Z DVDs. I recently heard word that FUNimation will be redubbing the Saiyan Saga and the former half of the Frieza saga, so don't go out and buy this right away.
OVERALL:
Overall, Pendulum Room does a pretty good job continuing the Dragon Ball Z series - but the dub could have been SO much better. Although Dragon Ball Z is an excellent anime, I don't recommend this. I recommend seeing the series in its uncut, original Japanese glory; this dub doesn't do it justice.
