   Summary: Another great season, but the same minor problems with the DVD.
I have been a fan of DBZ since it first started airing in North America, I never bought any of the previous DVDs though ($25 for 3 episodes is a rip-off). The visual/audio quality is great considering it's an anime that originally aired in the early 1980s and had a very tiny budget. There are 35 episodes in this set:

1)Held Captive (Bulma, Krillin and Gohan convince the kids on the ship that they are not allies of Frieza)
2)Friends or Foes? (Bulma, Krillin and Gohan land on what they think is Namek and find two Namekians willing to help them find the Dragon Balls)
3)The Search Continues (Bulma, Krillin and Gohan face more dangers as they continue their search for the Dragon Balls. Back on Earth, Goku escapes from the hospital and resumes his training).
4)A Friendly Surprise (Bulma, Krillin and Gohan find out that they are not really on Namek and that it was just a trap. Goku continues his training, and Vegeta decides to go to Namek for the Dragon Balls.)
5)Brood of Evil (Bulma, Krillin and Gohan arrive at the real Namek, only to find out that Vegeta is on his way there as well.)
6)Frieza Strikes! (Bulma, Krillin and Gohan discover Vegeta's space pod, but he is the least of their worries since the tyrannical Frieza is also on Namek and looking for the Dragon Balls.)
7)Defying Orders (Krillin and Gohan realize that they will need help against Frieza, and Goku begins his journey to Namek using a spaceship built for him by Dr. Briefs.)
8)Namek's Defense (Frieza and his henchmen Dodoria and Zarbon find the location of the 6-star Dragon Ball and demand that the villagers give it to them and the Namekians start to fight back.)
9)The Hunted (After seeing one Namekian child killed and another about to be, Gohan can't hide anymore and he and Krillin grab to kid and flee.)
10)The Prince Fights Back (Dodoria continues searching for Krillin and Gohan. Vegeta comes acroos Dodoria and decides to get revenge.)
11)Unexpected Problem (Goku continues on his 6 day journey to Namek but gets knocked off coarse by an asteroid. Now he has to put on a spacesuit and repair the damage.)
12)Vegeta has a Ball (Vegeta uses his new ability to sense energy levels to find a Namekian village and take their Dragon Ball. Frieza now has 5 Dragon Balls, Vegeta has 1, and the last one belongs to the Eldest Namekian.)
13)The Past and Future (While on his journey to Namek, Goku hears that his friends Tien, Chiaotzu, Yamcha and Piccolo have arrived on King Kai's planet. King Kai is disturbed to hear that Goku is rushing to face Frieza, and Vegeta begins his fight with Zarbon.)
14)Zarbon's Surprise (After Vegeta takes the upperhand in his fight, Zarbon transforms and increased his size and power.)
15)Guru's Gift (Krillin and Dende speak to the Eldest Namekian, Guru. Guru not only gives them his Dragon Ball, but he also awakens the sleeping power within Krillin.)
16)Piccolo vs. Everyone (Yamcha, Tien and Chiaotzu undergo King Kai's rigorous traning when Piccolo challenges them to a three-on-one fight. Back on Namek, Friez'a henchmen attempt to revive Vegeta in order to find out the locaton of the missing Dragon Ball.)
17)Zarbon's Mission (Vegeta escapes from Frieza and takes all of Frieza's Dragon Balls with him, Frieza gives Zarbon one hour to find Vegeta or face the consequences. Goku runs into trouble when his ship encounters a magnetic storm.)
18)Gohan, the Hunted (Krillin returns to their camp site just as Vegeta and Zarbo arrive searching for the Dragon Ball Krillin recieved from Guru. Gohan searches the ruins of a Namekian village and finds the final Dragon Ball.)
19)Unknown Enemies (Frieza has called for his elite fighing unit, the Ginyu Force, to come to Namek to help search for the Dragon Balls. Gohan and Krillin struggle to keep Vegeta from getting the final Dragon Ball.)
20)Destination: Guru (Krillin and Gohan leave the seventh Dragon Ball at their camp with Bulma while they fly off to see Guru. When the Dragon Ball dissapeers, however, Bulma must go searching for it underwate.)
21)Bulma's Big Day (Bulma is take hostage by two of Frieza's henchmen, and is forced to lead them on a underwater search for the Dragon Ball.)

24)Guldo's Mind Bends (The battle with the Ginyu Force begins, with Krillin and Gohan launching an attack on Guldo, who has the ability to freeze time for everyone else for as long as he can hold his breath.)
25)Recoome Unleashed (After Guldo is defeated, the fight turns to Recoome, the largest member of the Ginyu Force. However, even Vegeta's attacks are having no effect on Recoome.)
26)Let the Battle Begin (With Krillin and Vegeta knocked out, only Gohan is left to take on Recoome.)
27)Goku's New Power (Goku finally arrives on Namek, and hoped that training under 100X gravity fill be enough to help his friends and son.)
28)A Legend Revealed (Vegeta, Krillin and Gohan watch on as Goku easily takes on Ginyu Force members Jeice and Burter. Vegeta tells Gohan and Krillin the legend about the Super Saiyan.)
29)Ginyu Assault (With Goku being too much for Jeice and Burter, Jeice retreats in order to get reinforcements. Goku then prepares to battle against the leader of the Ginyu Force, Captain Ginyu.)
30)Incredible Force! (Goku begins his battle with Ginyu. Gohan and Krillin use this time to sneak onto Frieza's ship to steal his Dragon Balls, while Frieza heads towards Guru's house.)
31)Frieza Approaches (Goku gains the upperhand in his fight with Ginyu. Frieza arrives at Guru's house, where the brave Namekian warrior Nail fights to keep Frieza from learning the secrets of the Dragon Balls.)
32)Goku is Ginyu & Ginyu is Goku (Nail fights a hopeless battle against Frieza in order to protect Guru. On the verge of defeat, Ginyu uses his secret ability against Goku, the Body Switch Technique.)
33)Calling the Eternal Dragon (Gohan and Krillin use the Dragon Radar to find the Dragon Ball they had hidden, and prepare to summon the Eternal Dragon. Before they can do so, they are confronted by "Goku".)
34)Gohan - Defeat your Dad! (Having taken control of Goku's body, Ginyu begins a fight with Gohan and Krillin.)
35)Captain Ginyu... The Frog (With the fight between Ginyu and Vegeta heating up, Goku tricks Ginyu into swtiching their bodies back. With the Ginyu Force now out of the way, Goku, Gohan and Krillin form an uneasy alliance with Vegeta as they prepare to take on Frieza.

Onto the bad things about the set. The only closed captioning on the DVD are for the Japanse dialogue (the literal English translantion of the Japanse dialogue), making it worthless to those who are deaf or hard of hearing and would like the know what the Enlish dialogoue is. Another annoying and bizarre thing is that the names of the episodes are the Japanese titles (in actual Japanese), which I find inexcusable since the season 1 DVD release had the English titles. FUNimation has also chosen not to include the "Next time on Dragon Ball Z!" scenes that are included on the TV airings even though they have the "Last time on Dragon Ball Z!" ones. It's still a great release though for any Dragon Ball Z fan, and these minor annoyances are the only thing stopping it from being 5 stars. I hope they do season sets for Dragon Ball GT next.

   Summary: Great Purchase
Great..entirely satisfied I must say. Service was relatively fast and the improvements over the older version are there. Sure, the 16:9 format deletes some of the 4:3's picture of previous animations, but it's a good improvement overall, not a regress!

Well done Funimation. Worth every penny. Will collect all series ;)

   Summary: Smells like a filler season .
The feisty restless, midget and giant , martial artists are back .still chasing after marble balls , getting into outrageous fights and causing loads of sniggering comedy .

Unfortunately this time we have a weak plot . In fact you need only to watch the sixth cd in this box set to understand what's happening in this season - going to the planet that created the dragon balls because they ran out of their earthly one's , and meeting new and old foes over there - the rest of the cd's are just unnecessary stunts .

The box set is the same fold - in type as the first one , with six cd's , six episodes each . except the last one , five episodes plus extras . which are only trailers and textless songs . no behind the scenes video.
Not forgetting the nice booklet of profiles an episodes summaries .

Why did I buy it ?

The price made me do it .
