American releases
After two unsuccessful attempts to release Dragon Ball in the US, FUNimation Productions Inc. (now FUNimation Entertainment) decided to create a dub of Dragon Ball Z, but was too poor a company then to distribute a series alone, so they teamed up with Saban (most likely due to the company's success in distributing another Japanese import, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and hired voice actors of the Ocean Group to handle the dialogue. Funimation Entertainment (previously known as Funimation Productions, and usually stylized as FUNimation) is an American Entertainment company Saban Entertainment was an independent television production company formed in 1983 by music and television producers Haim Saban and Shuki Levy (who Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (often abbreviated by fans as MMPR) is an American Live-action Television series, created The Ocean Group is a production company located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada that specializes in localizing foreign animation (most often This dub started airing in September 1996 on the WB. However, the US had more emphasis on censorship than Japan did, thus resulting in extensive editing of the series (cutting out the equivalent of 14 of the first 67 episodes-- almost 21%), including the complete removal of blood, nudity, language and references to character death ("sent to another dimension"). To many fans of the series, these edits actually made the series worse as violence was always shown without consequence. Eventually it was canceled in May 1998, due to low ratings.
In August 1998, the canceled dub was brought to Cartoon Network's new action-animated block, Toonami and it found new life through a wider audience. Toonami (a Portmanteau of the words Cartoon and Tsunami suggesting a "tidal wave" of Animated cartoons is a registered By 1999, FUNimation had earned enough money to distribute alone, so they continued dubbing the show with their own in-house voice actors and a newly commissioned musical score, starting directly where the canceled dub left off. They also cut some of their previous restrictions, such as the inclusion of blood (to a small degree), though still edited some of the violence, in order to continue making it appealing to viewers of all ages, thus leading to the show receiving a TV-Y7-FV rating for fantasy violence. [3]
The new dub of DBZ finally achieved the popularity FUNimation had been attempting for years to attain. It was such a success that it also greatly helped expand the anime market in the US. In September 2002, Dragon Ball Z was Number One on all cable TV (#1 program of the week on all cable television with boys 9-14) and the series ended its first run in April 2003. Currently the show still airs on Cartoon Network's online broadband service, Toonami Jetstream. Toonami Jetstream is an ad-supported online broadband service and a remake of Toonami 's previous video streaming service Toonami Reactor provided by Cartoon Network
Creative changes
The English dubs of Dragon Ball Z are noted for featuring dialogue not found in the original script, dubbing that results in minor changes to the original story, the replacement of the entire original musical score written by Shunsuke Kikuchi, and renaming many characters, terminology, and locations (i. is a prolific Japanese Composer from Hirosaki. He specializes in Incidental music for media such as Television and Film. e. Kuririn to Krillin, the Tenkaichi Budokai to the World Martial Arts Tournament, etc. ). FUNimation selected composer Bruce Faulconer to create this original music score for episodes #54 (68) through the end of the series (episode #291), and this music is commonly referred to as the American Soundtrack for the series, which aired on the Cartoon Network, having aired since 1999 to the present. Bruce Faulconer is a composer and the primary author of the music featured in English dub of the popular Anime Dragon Ball Z.
Uncut version
In 2003, FUNimation began to redub the first 53 episodes that were dubbed by the Ocean Group voice cast, restoring them to the original 67. The distribution of the redubs on DVD, under the Ultimate Uncut Special Edition title, began in April 2005. [4]
In the summer of 2005, Cartoon Network aired the uncut version of the first 67 episodes. This version used the original Japanese footage, with the exception of the Japanese opening and closing themes, and has an entirely new score of music. The uncut version also featured many scenes with blood that had been toned down or cut out entirely in the edits before, as well as mild language, profanity, sexual humor, and nudity. Generally, while some lines were maintained from the original dub, several mistranslations were also corrected. The uncut dub was given a TV-PG rating in contrast to the original dub's TV-Y7 rating.
International English version
Until 2001, other English speaking countries including the UK, Canada, Australia and Republic of Ireland received FUNimation's English version of DBZ, both the Ocean Group and FUNimation dubs. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located Country to "Dominion of Canada" or "Canadian Federation" or anything else please read the Talk Page For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Australia topics.

This changed when Episode 108 aired in the UK (also in The Netherlands); the English Dub switched to a version produced by the Blue Water studios. The phrase "blue water" also refers to deep water see Maritime geography. This version regained the original voice actors from the Ocean Group instead of the FUNimation voice cast. This version began airing in Canada in the autumn of 2001 from Episode 168, and ran through to the end of the series. It used FUNimation's own videotracks and its scripts, albeit with some changes. This version used music recycled from the Mega Man and Monster Rancher cartoons, as well as a few original pieces for the series by Jon Mitchell, Tom Keenlyside and David Iris. is a Video game series by Tecmo. Starting in 1997, several sequels have been produced This version suffered from low production values and a rushed schedule. Many voices did not stay consistent through the series, and by the end few remained from the original 1996 cast. See below for a complete cast listing.

Filler
Filler is used to pad out the series for many reasons; in the case of Dragon Ball Z, more often than not, it was because the anime was running alongside the manga, and there was no way for the anime to run ahead of the manga since Toriyama was still writing it. Dragon Ball Z is the second in a trio Anime series based on the popular Dragon Ball Manga series by Akira Toriyama.

The company behind the anime, Toei Animation, would occasionally create side stories to either further explain things, or simply to extend the series. ( is a Japanese animation studio owned by Toei Co Ltd. The studio was originally founded in 1948 as Japan Animated Films (日本動画映画 Nihon Dōga Eiga often shortened Filler does not come only in the form of side stories though; sometimes it is as simple as adding some extra attacks into a fight. For instance, many scenes in the anime appear quite protracted, featuring long shots of the characters faces and stand-offs lasting an entire episode and even spanning multiple episodes for a single fight. As the anime series was forced to expand 12-14 pages of manga image and text into 20-22 minutes of animation footage, these changes were introduced to fill the complete television time slot or to allow the anime writers to explore some other aspects of the series' universe. The Garlic Junior arc, between the Freeza Saga and the Cell Saga, and the Afterlife Tenkaichi Budokai arc, between the Cell Saga and the Majin Boo Saga, are examples of this.

Japanese releases
Originally, only the Dragon Ball Z movies, and the Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans OVA were available for home viewing in Japan. The series is a Japanese only series based on the Anime and Manga series Dragon Ball Z by Akira The movies were released on both VHS, and Laserdisc format.

The is a 8-bit Video game console. It was released exclusively in Japan in 1994 at the initial price of ¥24800
Dragonbox releases
In 2003, all of the DBZ anime were finally released for home viewing in Japan, on two large DVD boxed sets. Each DBZ Dragonbox had a large amount of DVD extras, as well as an action figure and a book.
The video and audio transfers of the show used on these DVDs came off of the Fuji TV master tapes of the show, as this allowed Toei to put out a far superior and completely accurate version of the show on DVD. This allowed all episodes to have their original openings, endings, eyecatches, next episode previews, etc. , compared to what was available in the US.
In late 2005 the DBZ Dragonbox DVDs were re-released in single volumes with six episodes per disc. While the packaging and DVD menus are different from the 2003 release, and so far no plans have been announced for the two TV specials and the Playdia footage released with the 2003 versions, the audio and video quality is the exact same as those discs found in the 2003 Dragonbox release.
At the end of March, 2006, a Dragon Box: The Movies DVD box was released. This release contained all 19 Dragon Ball and DBZ theatrical features, along with a book, and two scouters in the form of walkie-talkies. The video and audio are remastered, however, the video is cropped and contains less picture than the full-screen versions, a common occurrence for films from Toei, based on long-running and popular TV series (See Saint Seiya, Fist of the North Star, and One Piece). also known as Knights of the Zodiac, is a Manga series authored by Masami Kurumada, and later adapted to Anime. also known as Ken the Great Bear Fist, is a Japanese Manga series that was originally serialized from 1983 to 1988 in the Japanese magazine Weekly is a Japanese Shōnen Manga written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda, that has been serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine
All Dragonbox releases contain Japanese language audio only (with exceptions to foreign-language bonus clips), and no subtitles.
English releases
Pioneer/ECW DVDs
During the late 90's/early 00's, The first 53 (Ocean Group dub, originally uncut as 67) TV episodes were released on to DVD by Pioneer Entertainment (now Geneon Entertainment and formerly ECW Home Video). These contained only the edited, US-TV broadcast versions, and totaled 17 volumes. At a later date, the first 8 DVDs were released as the Saiyan Saga, while the final 9 were released as the Namek Saga. As of August the 31st, 2004, Geneon's license for video distribution of these episodes ended, allowing FUNimation to re-release these episodes.
Along with these episodes, Pioneer also produced bilingual, uncut DVDs of the first three DBZ theatrical features. These DVDs retained the original Ocean Group voice cast for the English track, as well as being one of the first uncut and bilingual releases in the U. S. The English versions of these films were also subject to a different treatment, rather than replacing the original music, the original OP and ED themes, as well as background music, were retained. The only noticeable differences besides languages are the inclusion of a few different sound effects which are not present on the original Japanese version. [5]
These films were released as a three-disc boxset by Pioneer, however, much like the 53 TV episodes Pioneer had license to, the first three DBZ films' home video rights now belong to FUNimation.
FUNimation DVDs
As of 2000, FUNimation has released uncut versions of their Texas-based English dub on to DVD, uncut and with Japanese language track, and English-translation subtitles. 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. Beginning with the Captain Ginyu Saga, which took place directly after the Ocean Group dub, FUNimation has released bilingual, uncut DVDs for every episode covering (Japanese numbers) 68 till 291, with the FUNimation commissioned American Soundtrack of Bruce Faulconer being using on its English version. Bruce Faulconer is a composer and the primary author of the music featured in English dub of the popular Anime Dragon Ball Z. Boxsets for the sagas have also been released. However, in order to maximize profits, the DVDs were released out of continuity (certain amounts of one section of the series were released, and then FUNimation would go back and release others). [6]
After acquiring the video rights to the first 53 (67) episodes from Pioneer, FUNimation announced that they would release these episodes uncut, with a new 5. 1 English language track and uncut footage. The Ultimate Uncut Special Edition line was born. The release would be 22 volumes, Bilingual, and with extras. The Saiyan Saga was renamed the Vegeta Saga (Parts I and II, covering 12 DVDs), probably to avoid confusion with the Pioneer volumes. This was the same version shown on Cartoon Network. After DVD volume 9 however, FUNimation cancelled these box sets and chose to re-re-release them in the new DVD sets they are currently working on. [7]
From 2001-2006, DBZ movies 4-13, were dubbed by the FUNimation voice cast and released in the US. These are all bilingual and subtitled, but do not follow the trend set by the Ocean Group dub's first three movies. Music has been changed and altered, including the insertion of songs from rock bands such as Pantera and Deftones. The movies utilize the FUNimation voice cast, though they also include the original Japanese version with subtitling by Steve Simmons. [8]
The OVA Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans remains unreleased in America. An American release is unlikely, as the Famicom game on which the OVA was based never had an American release.
The FUNimation voice cast also re-dubbed movies 1-3, but only movie 1 was released under the Ultimate Uncut line; movies 2 and 3 were not named Ultimate Uncut even though they had the same cover style as movie 1. All of these movies had a 5. 1 English track, new subtitles, different DVD extras and were released in a boxset titled Dragon Ball Z: First Strike on November 16, 2006. This version contains different music to the original dub or Japanese version and dialogue not as accurate to the original script as the Ocean Group dub was. [9]
FUNimation has officially dropped the Ultimate Uncut line and are working on their season boxsets.
On November 11, 2007, FUNimation released two DBZ movies on Blu-ray High Definition format. Events 308 - The Congress of Carnuntum: Attempting to keep peace within the Roman Empire, the leaders of the Tetrarchy declare Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century.

FUNimation season box sets
In November 2006, FUNimation announced they would release a remastered form of Dragon Ball Z on DVD beginning in 2007. It was later announced that "Season One" (the entire Vegeta Saga) would be re-released on February 6, 2007. Events 46 BC - Julius Caesar defeats the combined army of Pompeian followers and Numidians under Metellus Scipio Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. The first 39 episodes of Season One are spread across six discs, and cost $30 USD (the original intention was for 5 discs, but there was a risk of quality reduction). The series has been re-transferred at 1080p resolution with digital restoration technology removing all grain and scratches from FUNimation's original prints of the series. The quality is a far greater than the original, but one flaw is with the digital restoration. It is important to note that like many late 80's-early 90's Toei productions (for example, Saint Seiya, Sailor Moon, Marmalade Boy, Ghost Sweeper Mikami and Slam Dunk), the series was produced on 16 millimeter film which tends to be fairly grainy and soft. also known as Knights of the Zodiac, is a Manga series authored by Masami Kurumada, and later adapted to Anime. is the title of a Japanese Media franchise created by Naoko Takeuchi. is a Shōjo manga by Wataru Yoshizumi.

It was reported from FUNimation's online trailer that the series would be presented in widescreen format (1. 78:1, cropped from the original full frame) for the first time.
This was highly controversial among fans, as this is not how the TV episodes were intended to be seen and this substantially alters them. Many fans launched a letter-writing campaign against the release. The box set contains a revised English track in Dolby Digital 5. Dolby Digital is the marketing name for a series of lossy audio compression technologies developed by Dolby 1 surround sound (it contains the original Japanese score by Shunsuke Kikuchi, one such "revision" to the English dialogue is FUNimation voice actor Christopher Sabat re-dubbing all of his lines as Vegeta throughout the Captain Ginyu Saga and the Frieza Saga, using his current, gruffer voice for the characters instead of the higher pitched nasally voice he used to imitate Vegeta's Ocean Group voice actor, Brian Drummond, and also changing some of his lines). is a prolific Japanese Composer from Hirosaki.

A master recording is an original Recording, from which copies may be made In response to negative fan outcry regarding the release's apparent cropping of the source video, a FUNimation representative has released a document from the team remastering the video, which explains the logistics of the new release. Cropping refers to the removal of the outer parts of an image to improve Framing, accentuate subject matter or change Aspect ratio.
