The artificial humans 17 and 18 who terrorized Earth in Season #4 of Dragon Ball Z were only a preliminary threat: Dr. Gero's ultimate creation, Cell, strikes in Season #5. A bio-entity created from genetic material taken from Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, and Frieza, Cell arrives via the time capsule Bulma built for Trunks. (There are now two of them, somehow.) Although he defeats the merged Piccolo and Kami, Cell remains imprisoned in his "imperfect form," a sort of larval stage. Until he absorbs androids 17 and 18, he can't attain his ultimate power. Vegeta and Trunks train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber at Kami's palace, which enables them to undergo the equivalent of a year's heavy workouts at high gravity in one day. Transcending his powers as a Super Saiyan, Vegeta clobbers Cell. When Cell challenges Vegeta to fight his perfect form. Vegeta takes the bait and allows Cell to evolve. The perfect Cell proves so powerful, Trunks has to draw on untapped reserves of power to save Vegeta. Goku plays only a small role in Season #5: he spends the first episodes recovering from the heart virus, then waiting with Gohan for the Hyperbolic Chamber or training in it. One of best-loved stories in the Dragon Ball Z continuity the "Cell Saga" offers plenty of action, with characters punching each other through rock walls and destroying entire islands as they fight. But it ends on a weak note when, instead of killing Trunks, Cell challenges the Z Fighters to a martial arts tournament--the focus of Season #6. The paradoxes of the time travel story, including adult Trunks encountering himself as a baby, don't seem to bother the fans--or the writers. These 26 episodes could have easily fit on five discs or even four, and spreading them over six feels chintzy.(Rated TV PG. suitable for ages 8 and older: violence, tobacco use, ethnic stereotypes) --Charles Solomon

There putting out less episodes per set and on the same number of discs.
Looks like only 4 or 5 episodes will be on each disc for this set. Why not do a 4 disc set and make it cheaper? I bet the next set will have 3 episodes per disc. Great show though!
 CAUTION for those who care to hear it in japanese audio June 15, 2008

I am very satisfied with other season sets. But compared to the first 4 seasons, you can tell from the opening theme song that the japanese audio is poorly done. The opening theme song sounds like it's being played by speakers covered in a heaping pile of blankets (just get some blankets, throw it over your speakers and you should probably get the same sound quality). As I listened to the opening theme song of what I can vividly describe as the muffles from my neighbors tv down the hall, I had to double check the box, try to google what the heck 'dolby digital 2.0' meant, and whether that was considered worse than mono.
In season 4, I had noticed that the timing for the opening song had also been off (delayed compared to the animation) but this ... there's no excuse for this.. if they had a clean clip of it for 4 seasons, what happened with the fifth? Whoever reviewed the dvd before it hit the shelves... good job and good luck with your future endeavours..
The japanese dialogue and audio in the episodes are fine.. but it just makes it SEEM like its worse than before, all because of that poor opening sound clip that could have easily been nipped in the bud but it's too late now since it's out on the shelves.. 'no ginger' (translate that literally in japanese and you'll get what i mean)
Of course, if you don't listen to it in Japanese or care for that part.. I guess you're good to go but don't take my word for it because I didn't bother listening to it in English.
I give this set five stars! March 3, 2008

This is probobly one of the more action packed boxes you will find. My only complaint is the fact that it has less than 30 episodes, but its understandable. Like the previous boxsets, it is completely uncut and remastered, and still has 3 audio options. but honestly, would it kill funimation to have some actuall dvd extras? trailers are fine, but interviews with the voice actors would be nice, or some old toonami promos would be even better! once again the image is cropped, which you would only notice if youve seen the episodes previously and are very familiar with the product. if your new to dbz, you probobly wouldnt notice that the feet and hair is cut off. but i will continue to buy these boxsets, and i definitly reccomend buying it, if your new to dbz though you should get the first season first. but you owe it to yourself to buy these action packed episodes!
