Product Description
After Cell achieves his perfect form, he challenges the people of Earth to a tournament and the Z-fighters prepare for battle while another opponent a
Amazon.com
At the end of season five of Dragon Ball Z, artificial android Cell achieved his perfect form and challenged the Z Fighters to a martial arts tournament to determine the fate of the Earth. Now the tournament begins, but it proves to be a very uneven adventure. The contest begins slowly: The first 11 episodes are just set-up and filler, with little action. The battles between Cell and the Z Fighters offer plenty of excitement, as the brawlers blast each other through rocky cliffs and fling bursts of energy into space. Goku correctly predicts that Gohan will crush Cell. But the story falls into repetitions; Cell has to be killed three times before he'll stay dead. When Cell announces the tournament on TV, Mr. Satan, a WWF-type, appears as Earth's champion. Although he's a coward and a phony, the TV crew fawns over him--a lame gag that goes on far too long. The filmmakers also change the rules in mid-story. Cell had to absorb Androids Nos. 17 and 18 to achieve his perfect form. After a series of body blows from Gohan, he vomits up No. 18 (intact); later, he regenerates himself into an even more perfect form without the Androids. Goku is killed and decides to remain in the Next World with King Kai, rather than risk attracting more evil creatures to Earth. But when Trunks returns to the future, he destroys Cell before he can travel to the past and achieve his perfect form… which means the Cell that killed Goku never existed. Season six could have easily fit on four discs--the last two discs contain just three episodes apiece, and the only extras are textless songs and some trailers.(Rated TV PG. suitable for ages 8 and older: violence, tobacco use, ethnic stereotypes) --Charles Solomon (166.

If you have not seen it, to appreciate season six, You need to buy from season 1 - 5. I wish I had done so and seen it serially. September 17, 2008

If you have not seen it, to appreciate season six, You need to buy from season 1 - 5. I wish I had done so and seen it in strict order.
This is especially true as it relates to the humble character of Gohan and the heights of achievement a father's love makes possible.
Season six also lays the foundation for the subsequent MaJin Buu series.

This is one of the best, if not the best sagas of the legendary anime, Dragon Ball Z. I'm getting it today, and also the seventh season in November, but I hope Funimation releases Season 8 before May. Can't wait for the series to be complete. Why is Goku on the front, though... Sure, SS2 Gohan is a spoiler, then why not put SS1 Gohan on the front? He's seen in Season 5. Besides, Goku's already been on a front cover (Season 2). Oh well, it doesn't matter too much, I guess. Buy this DVD (Maybe along with Season 5)- You won't regret it.
Definitely loads of action and for fans who love the Cell saga...you're definitely not going to want to miss this one! October 20, 2008

The Cell saga continues as Cell who has sinced absorbed the androids 17 & 18 is now complete but not it's time for the battle that everyone has been waiting for. Goku vs. Cell which later becomes Gohan vs. Cell.
Without revealing too many spoilers in regards to this season, not only is it full of action, the series had a great build up of how evil Cell was, his goal to achieve his complete stage but also to showcase the additional characters much stronger than before and trying to take Cell down.
Whereas the Friezer battles were long but I felt a bit drawn out for the sake of having many episodes, with the "Cell" storyline, I just felt that everything came together quite well and didn't take forever to get towards the conclusion.
I really enjoyed the camaraderie of Goku and his friends and most of all to see Vegita and his acknowledgment that he has things about himself that he really needs to work on.
And you also get the introduction of Mr. Satan, world's greatest champion which will be interesting on how he and his family become important to the series probably in the next upcoming season. So, definitely stay tuned for that!
But overall, this is another wonderful box set for an awesome animated TV series. Definitely for those who love action and can't get enough of it.
As for my problems with the last season box set which disc 4-6 only featured three episodes, season 6 fortunately features a full disc 4 but season 5 and 6 has only three episodes each. But I kind of understand as they transition to the next season which will take place several years into the future and these DVD box sets are created to have six discs and not five.
And again, for $29.99, for all these episodes, about the same price or less than buying an American television series box set and Funimation has definitely set the standard which I hope many of the anime industry will follow. You get the bang for your buck for these season box sets!
VIDEO:
The video looks great on DVD and for those of us who have multi-generation fansubs or fading VHS tapes, just having these episodes on DVD and everything looking great. I know some people have a problem with the show receiving some cropping but for me it's quite miniscule.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Special features include trailers and open and ending themes. If there was one thing lacking, it's the fact that there are really nothing in terms of special features.
Season 6 was another action-packed season that I could have probably watched in a full sitting. I found myself really attached to each episode and not wanting to stop because there was so much action and this time around, each character has its importance. From Kirilin having feelings for Android 18, Android 16 showing his love for nature and wanting to help the team, Goku showing his newfound power but noticing that his son has an even impressive power, Vegita and Trunks together trying to develop their relationship as father and son which never happened in the future Trunks lived in. And so much more!
This was among my favorite seasons of "Dragon Ball Z" when I first watched it air in Japan but knowing what's coming soon next season with the Super Saiyaman series and especially the Buu series and more characters and development, I can't help but be excited with what is coming next from Funimation.
Again, more bang for your buck with these box sets and for "Dragon Ball Z" fans, you don't want to miss any of them. Check it out!
Dragonball Z DVD Season Review December 22, 2008

I purchased the DVD boxsets for the Dragonball Z series... seasons 1 through 7, and plan on buying the rest once they are released. These are excellent DVDs. The ability to run the episodes back to back as a 'marathon' series that cuts out the intro vids / credits between each episode is a great way to enjoy this series.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of this great anime series.
