Dragon Ball Z - Season 7 (Great Saiyaman & World Tournament Sagas)

Nice blu-ray version to replace my original standard DVD set of Season 7.

Decided to review for my fellow DB fans. Purchased this to watch DBz in original Japanese audio, 4:3 ratio, on BluRay, in US Region Code A (on my PS4, to be specific). Played the disc and verified the 4:3 ratio (played on 16:9, so the 4:3 original episodes are centered on screen with empty black segments on each side). Other seasons' bluray/steelbooks have some misinformation on the sleeve/jacket, but this one surprisingly didn't. Overall, a happy DB fan.

Every disc played without issue. English diaglogue with original Japanese music 5.1 or US broadcast with US stereo or all original mono Japanese viewing options. This is the unedited with nudity, language, death and all that stuff. Only issue with the remaster is some transition scenes black screen - audio continues and it only black screens for a second. Happens funny enough at times it doesn't matter but it does happen a few times an episode. Dragon Ball seemed to come 4:3 standard but this series was remastered for wide screen so yes the picture is zoomed in some to prevent letter boxing...kind of annoying but works for full screen. Marathon feature is a god send and was so happy to relive this series from Tsunami days!! Every episode played without issue - so happy to add this to the collection!!

EDIT: 2/10/2017**PLEASE DISREGARD REGION WARNING IN LISTING** I just purchased this again, ignoring the Region B warning in the listing as I was fairly certain this was a Region A/B release, and it is. This WILL play in your US Bluray players.I don't even consider the clipping an issue at this point. This is the way DBZ should be watched on HD displays, period. I wouldn't have it any other way. There are a few sequences and episodes where the cleaning took a blurring tool more than a sharpening tool, but overall, they did a fantastic job bringing this to the big screen. It's good to see such care taken to update the Orange Box releases for HD.If they repeat this process for Dragon Ball and GT, they will most assuredly have sold me at least six more box sets, even after DBZ finishes up.No joke, FUNimation has made me look at other HD releases with a spoiled set of eyes. I can't watch Akira on Bluray because it looks like it hasn't even been touched when compared to the care that went into DBZ. It's CRAZY, and I'm serious! Other classic Bluray releases look like garbage in comparison.These releases are worth every penny. They deserve to be in your collection. So do it!

Out of most of the Seasons in the Z arc this is one of the shorter ones. With 25 episodes Instead of thirty or so like the average DBZ season. But This box set is the Great Saiyman and the World Tournament sagas. So this is right after Cells defeat and features Goku's time in the other world tournament. Gohan's time as a "super hero", and the Strongest under the heavens tournament were Supreme Kai, and Kibito. This is one of the seasons that can be skipped but what fan would want to?The Physical box set has some problems though. They no longer come with booklets to serve as a character/ Episode guide and that is a bummer. Also the thin plastic disc holders used can break easily. Over all I wish they had the booklet's still but its the best way to get the series.Total run time is 565 minutes or 10.9 hours.Also we see Videl for the first time and Vegeta punches his kid, so that's also worth mentioning.A complete episode list is here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dragon_Ball_Z_episodes_(season_7)and a PDF of the season booklets are here on the DBZ official site.http://www.dragonballz.com/collections/seasons/season7_blurayThey are labels as Season X insert at the bottom of the page.

First of all I love DB and DBZ. I have since the first time I watched Goku as a young boy be ridiculously naive about the differences between boys and girls lol.Now though we are far, far ahead of that time, and we see Gohan as a teenager going to highschool, the introduction of Satan's daughter Videl,the reintroduction of most of Gokus old friends, and the introduction of the final bad guy(s) of the DBZ series, Babidi and Majin Buu (though we don't actually see them).As for the season itself I loved it. I loved the change of pace, the fun, goofier atmosphere of Gohan's school troubles and of seeing young Trunks with his father. The two tournaments (both the Otherworld tournament in which Goku fights and the World Tournament)were enjoyable in that we get to see the guys (and girl) fight without the fights being horribly drawn out and filled with 'macho screaming' which love of the series aside does get...tedious lol.Overall I would rate give this season five stars however I was a bit disappointed with the last three discs only having three episodes a piece, making the viewing time quite a bit less than usual box set.Anyway despite its being largely a filler arc, it was very enjoyable and worth adding to you DB and DBZ collection.

Hard to make a wrong decision here, either you like Dragon Ball Z or you don't. If not then your not likely to buy the other seasons so why this one but if you do than this season is just a great as choice as many others. Held by many to be a fill-in or (spoiler alert) catch-up season after the resulting time jump post-Cell Games I find what this season lacks in fighting it makes up for in character development and is a welcome change of pace showing a bit more of the human side to the old z fighters as well as introducing a couple new ones. If you like the show soley for the action you won't miss much but if you like the show for the characters then this season is great and one of a kind as I believe it shows more development of the fighters as people then any other season and introduces gohan's future wife videl who is a great challenge for him. I recomend this season for anyone who wants the whole DBZ story and experience.

北米版でしたが、問題なく視聴出来ます。安価で大変用商品でした。

１枚目のディスクに軽い傷がありました。再生には問題無しなので良かったのですが、新品立ったので残念です。

たしかに値段も安いのですが 海外から日本に送られるのですが、到着が遅いし、最悪延長されたりする事もありますが そのぐらいの欠点は値段で見ない事にしましょう ブルーレイプレイヤーで視聴してます

デジタルリマスターといっても変わりはない。安さに惹かれて買ったはいいが、いちいち音声切り替えしないといけないし、初っ端から他アニメの宣伝とかｗしかも、日本語音声がこもってて音質最悪！これなら少し高くても国内版を買うべきでした

日本語音声もあるし、字幕も消せるし、特にこだわりの無い人には十分に楽しめると思う。パッケージのディスクが上下二枚重なる部分があるため、取り出しにくいのが難点。省スペースで良いという見方もできるけど。
