"This DVD has 3 somewhat funny, somewhat action-oriented episodes. When I first saw the english episodes, I was disappointed. But I wasn't disappointed because of the music, dialogue, or anything to do with FUNImation's interpretation of the episodes. I wasn't happy because there was next to nothing that I couldn't wait and see for free on Cartoon Network. I personally couldn't see anything that would warrent an edit from FUNImation. The entire reason for owning a Dragonball Z DVD over the cheaper edited video is the censorship. But, when I took a look at the Japanese Version, I realized that it was well worth my 20 bucks. The parts that were supposed to be funny were, and made more sense than the English dialogue. Overall, if you like the funny parts of Dragonball Z and can bear some minor cusswords (they say them a lot in the Japanese version of these episodes) than I would recommend this DVD. Otherwise, wait for Cartoon Networks release on TV."

Turning point...maybe.

"This is now one of my favorite DVD's, now. This leaves off when Piccolo has destroied the enterance to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Buu still finds a way out (motivated by his lust for candy) and leaves Gotenks and Piccolo trapped. In a weird turn of events, Buu transfromes everyone left on the lookout into candy. Gotenks finally uses his "special technique" to get out with Piccolo. Inraged with the knowlege of both of his mother's deaths (remember, he's both Goten and Trunks), he starts to get the upper hand until he de-fuses! However, Gohan's power-up with the Elder Kai is complete, so there is still hope (thus the title of the next DVD). I recommend this DVD to anyone who want's to see more of Gotenks's crazy attacks."
