Satan provides initial seating for him and the other Z-Fighters and another is redubbed with Kyle Hebert replacing Dameon Clarke's voice double from the original.

However, Yakon's lines have been left unaltered from the voice filter that was used to deepen his voice in the original version, which is now removed on the Remastered boxsets, as well as Innocent Buu's effect that lighten his voice originally. All that said, I would only recommend the Dragon Boxes to the most enthusiastic of fans, given the nature of the market around them. Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? They are absolutely worth hunting down if you're stuck with any of the Blu-rays though, as they're the exact same masters but without all the filtering.UK distributor Manga Entertainment has announced that the original Dragon Ball Z anime series will be coming to Blu-ray for the United Kingdom and Ireland territories. Some of the civilians in " The Androids Appear" are given redubs such as the blonde mustached man who Android 19 kills, going from Mike Wiebe in the former to Eric Vale in the latter, and the two office workers that Yamcha questions with Wiebe and Vale's original performances being redone by Anthony Bowling and David Trosko respectively. At times, I thought they were severely cropped as the top of the head was missing etc but looking at the original the head is cropped there too. For instance, Fighter 69 from the Tournament Saga had his voice pitched down in the original release, whereas here it is kept at its original pitch. One issue that i have come across is some of the cases make it hard to get the discs out while most are fine just annoying on the few that it's tight.

In addition, characters such as Spice, Mustard, and Maron have been redubbed with new voice actors (Spice went from Bart Myer to J. Young Chi-Chi, however, is still voiced by Monika Antonelli instead of Laura Bailey who mainly voiced her in the original Dragon Ball anime. While Sabat resumed playing Moori in the dub of the Namek Saga (and the Kid Buu Saga), his performance in the original dub of episode 100 was much different of how he would portray the character later on, using a high-pitched voice with a heavy Texan accent.

There are little changes, though the Pirate Robot's filter was removed from the episodes it featured and the voice left at its original pitch. Also, Vegito's voice as the fighting candy is at normal pitch while the original dub voice was high pitched. In the original US broadcast English track, the Vegeta Saga and the Namek Saga (Episodes 1-67) feature the Ultimate Uncut Special Edition music from Nathan Johnson. Due to the DVNR automatic process used to clean the prints, while it does greatly clear large amounts of dirt and grain, it accidentally blurs detail.

The next dimension is a weird carryover from when the episodes were still meant to present continuity with the Saban era dub. Dale Kelly voiced the narrator originally, but Kyle Hebert took over the role beginning with the Great Saiyaman saga, and later narrated the uncut version of the first 67 episodes. It is frustrating that Funimation didn't at least just repackage the level set masters for the 30th anniversary release instead of just, iirc, restoring the blu-ray season sets master to the proper aspect ratio with the same DNR applied. Besides obviously being incomplete, they seem to be regarded as the definitive best versions you could watch.

The first Dragon Ball Z Movie Collection box set features the first five movies in the Dragon Ball Z franchise.
