VHS Movie Reviews of Dragon Ball Z - The Saiyan Conflict (Boxed Set I - Episodes 1-25) [VHS]

Movie Review: Look Past Edited
Summary: 5 Stars

I have to somewhat agree with what most people are saying about the unedited blah, blah, blah....grumble grumble, blah, blah, blah. That said, most people seeing these now have to realize this show was edited and intended for kids when it was first released in the US, like the Transformers was in the 80's; it was toned down to reach a wider audience and television then hadn't begun to allow the incredible crassness most people are used to nowadays. What needs to be appreciated here is the quality of voice talent and sound. Though the all-around audio and special effects of the newer "Funimation only" (after the series lost it's Pioneer counterpart) eventually picked up, the voice acting remained terrible. I mean, Sean Schemmel, who does the voice of Goku in the newer episodes after Pioneer stopped producing them, sounds monotonous when he talks and as if he's trying to have a bowel movement that he's pent up for a week when he does Goku's powering up. None of the other new voice actors have much talent either. Although I know this is all opinion, I must at least implore people reading this review to at least compare the voices and original music/sound on youtube if nothing else before they completely dismiss these older US versions of the show.

What I can't stand the most is the fact that Funimation went back and redubbed all the Saiyan Conflict and Namek Saga with all the new voices, and though they included much that was left out when Pioneer and Funimation were working together, they also destroyed the only good piece of US Dragonball Z that was left. Meaning now...most people will never get to experience Brian Drummond's amazing Vegeta voice over along with any of the other original voice talents. Instead they will get voices from people who sound like they took acting lessons from Ben Stein.

Alas, because Dragonball Z didn't pick up in the US until after Pioneer stopped producing it, people will have to venture to other anime series such as Gundam Wing to experience a lot of the lost talent. Scott McNeil (Duo, Gundam Wing/Piccolo, Dragonball Z) and Brian Drummond (Zechs Marquise, Gundam Wing/Vegeta, Dragonball Z) just to name a couple.

Either way, I recommend just buying the new "Seasons" Funimation has been producing as of late for a reasonable price and watching the original Japanese versions with the English subtitles because, Pioneer or no Pioneer, these versions will always remain the best.
