Good anime series, bad dub.......2003-12-31
EPISODE SUMMARIES:
-Home For Infinite Losers: Goku falls off Snake Way and lands right in Hell. Two ogres make a deal with him, that if he can pass their challenges, they'll tell him a way to get back on Snake Way. He completes the challenges, but unfortunately, the way back on causes him to start over from the very beginning.
-Princess Snake's Hospitality: Halfway across Snake Way, Goku encounters a castle. Inside, he is served a good deal of food and treated well, but when the girls inside discover he is happily married, they try to (unsuccessfully) kill him. Meanwhile, Piccolo splits himself in half so he can duel with a clone of himself for training.
-Escape From Piccolo: This episode was originally not dubbed because of the "orphan" subject matter, not to mention it's a Toei anime only filler episode. Gohan runs away from his training camp and he meets a group of orphans. After hanging out with them for a while, he goes back to his home, but before he gets there, Piccolo stops him and reminds him of his mission.
EPISODE OPINIONS:
These episodes weren't dubbed THAT badly. There's a stupid line every now and again, though. Time periods are another plot hole. In HFIL, it says the Saiyans will arrive in three months, but in PSH, Goku says it's been three months since he ate anything. And the Saiyans still aren't anywhere near earth. Also, the cover is misleading since Gohan and Piccolo don't begin sparring until the next tape.
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, The Saiyans 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.
