I was very pleased with the quality of the anime as a whole. This review is of the uncut version.

Violence: The violence is not too graphic, but nonetheless very heavy. There are various episodes where characters bleed, all the blood being red. Piccolo ends up losing his arm in a fight with a Saiyan, which regenerates rather quickly. Also, five characters end up dying in fights with Saiyans, where one of them is wished back to life with the dragon balls, and the main characters are seeking to revive the other four by the end of the season. There are also a few episodes with machine gun shooting. Besides that, the violence is the typical martial arts/action type.

Nudity/Sexual Content: The nudity in this uncut version is infrequent, yet very severe in its few scenes. Gohan's tail makes it possible for him to turn into a giant ape, but whenever he changes back, he is naked. There are two very brief shots of his genital, in which one of them was replayed, after he transforms back. In fewer than ten episodes, there are under thirty seconds of rear end nudity. A few episodes display some women who have their midriffs exposed as well. Master Roshi acts like a big pervert as usual when he reaches for a female's breasts, rubs another female's rear end once, and nearly touches it again.

Negative Theological Themes: Only a few contents significant in this category. When the TV reception is down, characters are provided with service from Ba-Ba and her crystal ball. Also when Goku is in the otherworld and falls through the clouds, he meets two ogres with the word HELL spelled on their torsos backwards.

Other Negatives: One character appears with her head down on a bar counter, apparently after drinking a lot of alcohol. There is also use of a beer can in the thirty ninth and last episode of this season. There were only four or five uses of curse words, and they were only d***s and one or two h***s. Despite the mature content of the uncut version, the general plot still maintains a very positive message.
