Dragon Ball Z Kai – Season 4 [Blu-ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

This is peak Dragon Ball Z. The Kai editors have trimmed off most of the filler and fat that made the original Cell Games far, far too long. I wish the series had simply ended here, as I don’t care for the Majin Buu saga. Sharp dialogue and some welcome improvements in the English script and voice acting, which is punchier and more “mature” than the original Funimation dub. Mr. Satan keeps his original name!-JJ

I have been a loyal fan of Dragon Ball Z since I was younger and watching the original run on Toonami and on VHS. I drifted away from DBZ for many years but have been an anime enthusiast ever since DBZ got me hooked.

Dragon Ball Z Kai caught my eye for several reasons: mainly being remastered yet retaining the original 4:3 aspect ratio (unlike the previous two versions that chopped part of the format to be presented in pseudo widescreen). I have faithfully purchased the Kai series (the titles released so far) on Blu-Ray. Here are my thoughts:

Part four takes us through the remainder of the Freiza saga. Let’s just say this is probably the most action packed set of episodes in the entire series except maybe the cell games saga (and a brief bit of crazy action during the Vegeta: Cell: Android: Piccolo fights leading up to Perfect Cell).

Beautiful animation wonderful storytelling compelling plot and absolutely amazing voice acting especially from Chris Ayres as Frieza.-Mr. Cornelius
