Standout Aspects

Acting

Nozawa's Goku warmth makes alien fight dad oddly touching.

Sound

Falconer score transforms American childhoods; original hits different.

Editing

Toei's 300+ episodes of stretching five manga panels forever.

Best for:Binge: Skip filler arcs, power through Saiyan to Cell saga.·Solo: Nostalgia trip or first-timer—headphones required for screaming.·Friends: Group watch with someone who'll yell KAMEHAMEHA with you.
Heads up:Violence: Planetary genocide played casual; characters die, revive, die again.

>$350 >Near carbon copy of the already bad Blu-Ray Season Sets, but in 4:3 >crowdfunding as a multi-million dollar company, with one of its biggest properties of all time Bravo, Funimation. You have further lowered the bar

@TeeHallumsYT 539

Just when I thought FUNimation couldn't screw up DragonBall Z in the west any worse. The sad part is, we were all so excited about these new Blu-ray sets. Then they crap this out.
