Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 15 Average rating: 4.5 "oh, one more detail..." The picture of Goku angry on the FUNimation cover was taken from the back of the Pioneer cover. "Can Hardly Wait" I can hardly wait for the new Dead Zone redub by FUNImation. It should be cooler to hear the FUNI actors provide the voices, as I personally think they did better at the voices than the original Ocean Group actors. Besides, it will be great to collectors such as myself. Along with the eventual re-releases of "The World's Strongest" and "Tree of Might", it will finally have some continuation of voices. I always hated it when they replace actors on cartoons, as it throws off the whole state of mind that was previously established. Smart move to FUNImation for redoing the first three movies along with the first two sagas! It's gonna rule! "New Edition of Deadzone" I love how FUNImation is re-releasing the first three movies to go along with the new Saiyan/Vegeta and Namek sagas. I can hardly wait for Dead Zone to come out. It is a good movie and is the only movie to have some continuity with the series. Yes, FUNI might replace the music with their own. My question is...so what? The movie will have a different soundtrack, big deal! I love the English dub better than the subtitled version anyway. I watched a couple of my DVDs in Japanese and it just got irritating for me after a couple of episodes. And from the original English version, the only voices I like out of them was Piccolo (voiced by Scott McNeill) and Vegeta (voiced be Brian Drummond). And still, I like Chris Sabat's interpretation better than them! If you want to buy it when it comes out, then buy it. If you don't, then don't. But me, when it comes out, I'm buying it. "Yo, still not that special (A review by CYD, the DB guru)" As I, CYD, the Dragon Ball guru, have said before, this is simply a REVERSIONing by FUNimation. Though Pioneer released edited only episodes, their DBZ movies were UNCUT. I know for a fact because I own the Pioneer DVD ans it has English and Japanese audio, that you can even switch back and forth during video play. FUNimation is just redubbing it and replacing the original Japanese soundtrack that Pioneer left alone. You can buy the Pioneer version right now, probably for less than ten dollars. It IS UNCUT, (on the back cover it says UNCUT THETRICAL MOVIE). Seriously folks, this is just a newer version of the same movie coming out. "5 stars for the movie, 2.5 stars for a mediocre DVD" This is FUNimation's new release of Dead Zone with altered music and the voice actors from the latter episodes of DBZ dubbed by FUNi. The original North American release of Dead Zone, which is still available from some sellers, has Ocean's voice actors, which some people prefer, and more importantly, it has the superior orchestrated Japanese music score on the English dub track. FUNimation's new music doesn't fit well and is less than mediocre compared to the original music. Also, Gohan's fitting song was needlessly removed from this new dub of FUNi's. I recommend purchasing Pioneer's old release instead of this. Pioneer's old release is uncut and includes the original Japanese audio track as well. P.S. Pioneer isn't responsible for the butchered dub of DBZ's early seasons--Saban is.
