This is another great set in FUNimation's American Dragon Box line. There really isn't much more to say about this one that hasn't already been said about the previous two sets. As a 20-year-old, hand-drawn anime, this is as good as Dragon Ball Z is ever going to look on DVD. The packaging is deluxe and pristine, and it's clear that FUNimation took great care in preserving the presentation of the more-valuable-than-gold Japanese Dragon Boxes. As someone who has been waiting years for FUNi to treat this series with some respect, I couldn't be happier to finally have a set like this-- to say nothing of eventually owning the entire series like this.
My only complaint is with some of the episodes themselves. While there are several gems on here, in my opinion, this is the weakest compilation of episodes so far. Between the overly-long and repetitive Goku VS Freeza battle, the underwhelming and laborious Garlic Jr. saga, and the fact that this set ends right when the Android saga kicks into gear (specifically, right after Yamucha gets impaled by #20), it does leave you wanting more when it's over. However, it was great to finally get to revisit several parts of the show that I hadn't seen in years.
Minor content issues aside, I still wholly recommend this set, along with the two others. FUNimation has finally gotten it right, and I urge every DBZ fan to support this Dragon Box line to ensure that they continue all the way through Dragon Box Seven.Get more detail about Dragon Ball Z: Dragon Box Three.
