The third season of the popular shonen (boy's) show Dragon Ball Z continues the adventures of Goku and Gohan on Namek, Piccolo's home planet. Goku, who has been in a regeneration tank since the end of season 2, recovers just in time to challenge the sniggering Frieza, one of the most grating villains in anime history. Having defeated Gohan, Krillin, Vegeta, and Piccolo, Frieza takes on Goku in a protracted duel. When he begins to doubt his ability to overcome Goku, Frieza destroys the core of Namek, ensuring it will explode in a matter of minutes. Enraged by the death of Krillin and so many others, Goku transforms into the one thing Frieza fears: a Super Saiyan, a legendary warrior who appears once every 1,000 years. As the seconds tick away, the two most powerful individuals in the universe duke it out. While they're beating the soba out of each other, King Kai hatches a plan to use the Dragon Balls of Earth and Namek to ensure a happy ending. As the battle between Goku and Frieza intensifies, the kicks and punches fly, producing titanic explosions. But the duel goes on for more than 20 episodes: With only a limited budget and crude special-effects techniques at their disposal, the filmmakers have to recycle footage endlessly. Dragon Ball Z: Season 3 is more entertaining when the viewer allows a few days to elapse between episodes, rather than indulging in a Super Saiyan marathon.

Customer Reviews

The Frieza saga brought me to DBZ
I started watching DBZ when they first aired the dubbed, cut versions on YTV here in Canada. (96, or 97 I believe) I was hooked instantly. Let me tell you, it's not a good thing to be addicted to DBZ during 11th grade when all your friends are too cool for cartoons. (Let alone now around ten years later) But what do they know?

...Anyways. Since they first released episodes on VHS, I've always been waiting for the complete sets. ''Frieza'' was the first saga that I ever saw, and is my personal favorite. It's truly a pleasure to see them again.

Anyone reading this probably knows the deal with FUNimation's decisions with the recent three box sets. It's no different here. The picture is cropped on the top/bottom. You gain a slight amount of picture on the side, so it's not all negative. The picture looks great though, and thats what counts. Try watching this on a HDTV using a upscaling DVD player and you'll get my point. The colors are bright, and the picture clear. The last thing you'll be thinking is "I really miss seeing the tip at the top of his hair."

You get all the episode's uncut, with original Japanese audio (There's english dub included though) All 33 episodes for thirty bucks. Thats a great deal. Thanks to FUNimation, we can purchase the first 107 episodes uncut, for less then $100 bucks. That is very rare in the anime home video world.

Best Saga!
Season 3 of Dragonballz features the whole Frieza Saga. Although I love most of the DBZ Sagas, this is my favorite saga out of all the others.
I remember I alway wanted to get this saga but it was 10 tapes or DVD'S and the cost was around $80-$100, and I could not afford that. But thanks to the new DBZ season sets I could get this for 30 bucks instead.
I'm going to buy this the first day it comes out.

Awesome
Awesome, dragonball z is amazing the new dvd sets are a must have for all fans. alot of people seem to be disatisfied by the new releases but i can't understand why. thenew stuff is uncut and is of higher quality than i remember it being when i watched years ago, if you are a fan you will not be disapointed. if your one of those really annoying people who try to critisize everything even when its a good thing you will still buy this set and secretly love having all the episodes. Enjoy.
