Dragon Ball Z – Season One (Vegeta Saga) (1996)
Amazon.com
One of the most popular franchises in anime history, Dragon Ball began in 1984 as a manga by Akira Toriyama in Shonen Jump. Dragon Ball Z (1989), the second TV adaptation, is the most beloved: it ran for 291 episodes–more than Dragon Ball (1986) and Dragon Ball GT (1996) combined. Over the years, the program has introduced countless boys to the world of Japanese animation. The first season re-introduces the main characters and sets up a new threat. Goku learns he’s not an Earthling, but a Saiyan from the planet Vegeta. Only three other Saiyans survive, all of them extremely powerful and destructive. Goku destroys Raditz with the help of Piccolo, but dies in the process. He spends much of the season training in the Other World with King Kai. Piccolo takes over training Goku’s son Gohan, anticipating he will have to face the remaining Saiyans, Nappa and Vegeta. These episodes set the pattern for the combination of martial arts training, fantasy-battles and slapstick comedy that make the series so popular. The storyline rambles, with lots of digressions, repeats, and false endings–none of which bother the fans. Although Dragon Ball Z has been released previously in the US, Funimation pulled out all the stops for this edition. The entire series has been remastered from the original prints, and the Japanese language track is included for the first time. (Goku and Krillin have higher-pitched, younger voices than they do in the American dub.) For Dragon Ball Z fans, this version clearly supercedes all previous ones. (Rated TV PG. suitable for ages 8 and older: violence; minor incidents of risque and toilet humor, ethnic stereotyping and alcohol use) –Charles Solomon

Excel Saga – The Weirdness Has Begun (Vol. 1) (2002)
Amazon.com
A truck flattens Excel, the heroine of this nutty adventure, in the opening minutes of the first episode. But the Will of the Cosmos insists the main character in a series can’t die, and brings her back to life. She becomes the overly enthusiastic follower of Ilpalazzo, the leader of Across, an ideological organization that plans to purify the world. Excel stumbles her way through parodies of everything from Star Wars to Galaxy Express 999 to Japanese dating shows. She adopts a cat as a pet (and possible emergency food source), and little balloons with cats periodically pop up to translate the puns and explain what’s being spoofed onscreen. Excel Saga is generally regarded as one of–if not the–craziest series in the history of anime, and compared to it, the likes of Dragon Half plays like King Lear. Rated 17 Up: Violence, profanity; risque and gross-out humor. –Charles Solomon
Product Description
Excel Saga is a one-of-a kind work of art that can only be described as the ultimate parody of anime. From the opening credits – a rather odd spoof of Japanese pop videos – to the ending song featuring Menchi the dog singing/barking a plaintive ballad while a human interpreter translates for viewers, nothing is sacred in the world of Excel Saga. Excel Saga contains the chronically over-challenged and understaffed secret ideological organization of ACROSS (total membership: 2), whose goal is to conquer the city of F. It contains your complete daily requirements of Martian princesses, afro-wearing action heroes, mysterious governmental agencies, space butlers, deranged comic book authors, androgynous prisoners in iron masks, annoying roommates, removable moustaches and a generous supply of adorably cute aliens bent on galactic domination. Excel Saga contains one (1) emergency food supply/singing dog and one (1) Excel, the most certifiably insane teenage girl to ever walk the face of the planet.

Excel Saga – When Excels Strike (Out) (Vol. 3) (2002)
Amazon.com
As this screwball comedy reaches its midpoint, the filmmakers take aim at the cliches of anime, manga, and Japanese live-action television. In “Butt Out, Youth,” Excel and Hyatt pose as teachers in a parody of high school sports shows. Faced with a classroom of unruly thugs, Excel flourishes a set of steel ninja claws–and drags them over the blackboard, reducing everyone to agonized submission. In episode 10, Menchi, the hapless cat everyone refers to as a dog (and Excel keeps threatening to eat), escapes in an outrageous send-up of adventure series, down to the scar across the canine villain’s face. How this insanity is supposed to advance Lord Ilpalazzo’s plan to purify the world is never made clear. Menchi also appears onscreen to translate the wordplays (“a small pun”) and explain what’s being spoofed onscreen. (Rated 17 and older: violence, profanity; risque and gross-out humor) –Charles Solomon
