Overall:
Video:
The reason I didn't give this set a score of 5 was a bit of pixelation in the part with Cell and Gohan. It is during their last bout with their Kamehamehas. It really is no big deal, but I bumped the score down for picky people :) The colors and smoothness still hold up perfect though, like all the other DBZ MI sets. It looks great on any system setup or TV I try them on. It is all crisp and clear and here for you to enjoy Dragon Ball the way it was ment to be.
Audio:
The R1's have the original mono sound that DBZ was made in... Yet, MI decided to produce a pseudo-stereo effect with their sets. The result is no echoing and clear audio. It is not real stereo sound like Dolby 5.1, but this wasn't how DBZ was produced in the first place. You will hear every yell and action noise perfectly.
Subtitle:
As Always the only real problems with the subs are mistranslated names, attacks, and/or places. Like always Son Gokou, Son Gohan, etc.. Is spelt "Sun" instead of "Son," no big deal there. Cell is translated to "Super" Dende is known as "Tintin" Krillin/Kuririn is translated to "Krullin" as usual, and is once called "Chris" ?? Weird. Gokou gets called "Calio" once, another odd sub. Radditz is translated to... "Latifha" ???!?! I don't quite understand that one, lol. Yamcha gets translated to "Yimcha" like normally through the sets Planet Vegeta gets called "Planet Vega"... Yes like the Street Fighter character :) The subbers still choose to have Gohan address people with "Uncle" in front of their names. (IE: Uncle Piccolo, etc.) Another odd thing is the announcer, Mr. Satan's crew, and Cell calling Gohan a "Young Hawker." I don't really know how that translation came about. Videl is known as "Pearl" The Great Saiyamen is translated to "Super Saiyan" Paikuhan is translated to "Pork rib rice" I thought that was funny ^_^ The Kamehameha is known as "Ki Bomb"... The Same goes for The Destructo Disc The Kaioken translates to "King Kai Fist" and sometimes "Saiyo Fist" The Solar Flare translates to "Saiyo Fist" also A few attacks The Great Saiyamen did got translated to "Thunder strike" or "Lightning strike," yet I cannot remember what attacks they were. You will be able to follow ok, don't worry!
Comment:
What can I say... This is it! The final showdown with Gohan and Cell. If you were going to pick up any of these sets, you should make sure you grab this one. One of the greatest scenes in the series is in this boxset. The discs end out the Cell Games Saga and start the weak, Great Saiyamen Saga. Check it out ;)
