I have absolutely loved DBZ for 13 years now. Having seen many different manga and anime this one still stands alone for its phenomenal character development and bone crunching action! I also like the fact that Viz put out a 'big edition' so one does not have to buy each chapter separately (expensive). My only two problems with this edition is that (1) it is edited- middle fingers/swear words are changed or edited out and (2) the original cover art is included but not all of them are in color. Other than that it is a good edition of the greatest shonen manga ever made!
Now I know alot of people are thinkin Dragon ball z is so boring. But if you read the graphic novel that just may change. You see since cartoon network doesn't play DBZ on tv anymore, its hard to see the first episode. But when I bought this book that changed and thinking it boring changed too. I came to like it alot! its a perfect starting manga for any new manga fan. Since I just got into manga it was perfect for me. Now before you buy this book I should warn you there is some bad language in this book. So I would really recomend this book for any child 10 and up. Funny,action cool,martial arts, its got it all Dragon Ball z VOL.1 BUY IT NOW!
Started my 10 year old on this ...now he can't put it down. Is it bad to yell at your child at bedtime to put the book down? very good buy!
Ah, Dragon Ball Z. Like many who have read the manga in the States, I was drawn to the fast-paced action by Cartoon Network. Toriyama's fighting masterpiece has reached global success since, and I've only recently seen all of FUNimation's episodes in complete order. So, wanting to sate my obsession with the banana-haired superheroes even more, I decided to delve into the manga. Hey, I'm an English Master's student; why haven't I read the books before?I purchased the Dragon Ball box set some years back, finished them all in a week. They're just as great as I remember the show being, if not a bit better because of the pacing. I prefer Toriyama's original artwork to the show; it has a sort of aged look to it, but it serves the series well. I waited till I had some dough for the DBZ box set, but now that it's out of print, and the prices astronomical, that's out of the question. I've heard of the VIZBIG editions before, not to mention those editions for other manga series, so I figured I'd check them out at the library.What I especially like about the VIZBIG volumes, besides a collected three volumes, is that they include color pages. Not all the colored chapters Toriyama originally did are in color, but most are. I'm not sure why; VIZ Media seems to have cut corners, if not for any other explanation. Still, the body of work is there, and it's very enjoyable.I'm also watching Kai right now, and I love it. I didn't realize so much had been added when I originally watched the show back in the `90s, and I thought, when I heard about Kai, that it would delete too much, and that the show would seem choppy. But considering they follow precisely Toriyama's original work, I actually now prefer Kai over the original show. Both are great, and the fast-paced action fits the fast-paced plots extremely well, almost frighteningly so. It's a wonder that most, if not all, of the DB universe came from one man's mind...
The best production of the Dragon Ball Z manga out there. 3 books in one, and they've been supersized, which is great for my eyesight. These are also some darn-fine pages they're printed on, they're not the kind that go yellow in a year, Some of the pages are even in color, which is great! Not all of the pages that were originally in color made it into the book, but hey, it's more than any other version of the DBZ comics.
Bought this for a girl I tutored at the end of the year. She really enjoyed reading mangas and liked Dragon Ball Z but had difficulty finding copies at libraries so I thought this would be a great gift for her. She loved it.
The book I received was in great condition. I actually didn't buy it for myself though. It's a christmas present for my cousin. He has always loved the Dragon Ball series. I actually got Sean Schemmel to sign it also. So I would say it's great, but that's not for me to decide in the long run. :)
Again a happy Dad for wining a Best Dad Day, I really don't give a close look at the construction and appearance of books, I just open them read what I need and put it back right? But when I opened the box with my little one standing next to me and barely being able to contain the his urge to push me down and out of his way as I gave it a look over I must say this book is well constructed and the book is writen in English the back to front reading style is cool and adds a little challenge for my little boy., this book is Awesome.,
