Description: Includes 9 video cassettes (Vol. 9-17). After the devastating fight to save the Earth from the Saiyans, many of Goku's friends have fallen. Gohan leads a small group to find the original Dragon Balls on the distant planet of Namek - Piccolo's homeworld. Without Goku, who remains behind to finish some intense training, can our hero's survive the many hazards on their journey? Even if they do, they will have to face the incredibly powerful Frieza and his henchmen who were so powerful that they destroyed the Saiyan homeworld!
One of the weaker sagas to me I give the Namek saga a 3 for two reasons. 1)This is the edited version. Complete with those very annoying voices, no blood, and the full contact blows are removed. 2) This saga is alright at best.
The namek saga begins by ending the final battle with Vegeta on earth. A battle the Z-Fighters narrowly won. Goku was beaten half to death and needs time to recover. The ones who are left want to travel to Namek to collect the Dragonballs to bring their friends back to life. Seriously the story is pretty boring at the begining. Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma are the main characters. The story doesn't pick up until Frieza, the strongest being in the universe appears searching for the dragonballs also. This saga also introduces Frieza's hitmen the Ginyu Force.
The saga isn't too bad, just don't expect what you saw in the Saiyan saga. There's a few good battles, but this is only a prequel to the Frieza saga, thats when things really start to pick up. My advice is not to purchase this saga. Funimation is releasing the uncut namek saga boxset this May. Which is going to be alot cheaper than what these price gougers are selling. If you like to waste money then pick this up. This saga really isn't great and to top it off its edited also. This just isn't a good bargain. I own the entire DBZ collection and I haven't watched this saga in a couple of years.
Namek Is The Greatest The Namek Saga is the greatest of all sagas. Unfortunatly you cannot buy this saga anywhere hardly. I think that it should be sold on every store that sells anime. Amazon sells alot of DBZ yet their collection lacks the Namek Saga. If you ask me i think they should order a bunch from somewhere because i think it would sell.
The Namek Saga is a BUST! Unlike the Saiyan Conflict, I don't like this saga. Its 28 episodes of fluff. Just waiting around for Goku. This saga I do reccomend to pick up the new pioneer version.
dubbed our awsome!!!!! THIS BOX SET IS AWSOME PEOPLE THINK IT SUCKS BECAUSE NO BLOOD NO BLOOD GOOD!MORE SUITABAL FOR KIDS OF 3 YEARS OF AGE BUT CUSSING BUT IT IS AWSOME BUY IT NOW!!!!
OK, but you could get a better version You could get these episodes and more UNCUT (this box set you're viewing is edited, not to mention that there are episodes missing from this DVD) and in Japanese with English subtitles for only $30 at animetoxic.com in the imported DVD section.
