I always thought the colors of the Funimation singles of everything excluding the UUE's were decent to be honest. I know that it doesn't compare to the Dragonbox though. My only real complaint with Funi's colors on those was that the sky was always this weird dark blue, other than that, I thought t...

If that's the case, then maybe I was being too judgemental. Like I said, I stopped reading very early on when I saw what I was being exposed to. I edited my post above with examples. I'm sure I missed a bunch, those were the biggest eye-catchers. I agree with you concerning the tracings (and Xicor'...

, I see nothing but copy/trace ripped out of Mr. Toriyama's manga. At least, in the first few chapters it was like that... It's true in the early chapters he definitely took the lazy way out, but I'm unable to spot any instances after the early chapters where there are any tracings. I would underst...

Yeah, uh.

It's really enjoyable, but it's not the work of Mr. Toriyama.

Is it just me, or does Toyble's manga actually make GT more enjoyable?

Great podcast!, It was nice to have something to listen to other than crappy commercial radio while I washed the car.

Toriyama would say quite differently. He's stated before that he enjoyed GT. Oh really give me a proof, then I'll give you back a proof for opposite. Listen to episode 96 of the podcast. They read a letter that Toriyama wrote regarding GT in that Dragon Box. Maybe someone could post a translation h...

At least they're consistent on releasing the entire series. Oh don't get me wrong, I intend on purchasing the Viz big releases, and can't wait for their release, I just think their editing is completely devoid of logic (guns vs exploding cell junior heads for example) I'm just hoping to see no edit...

Next thing you know, Viz will release the Widescreen "meant to be seen" version of the DBZ Manga. How you might ask? By chopping off the top and bottom and coloring them in with bootleg colors Just so you know, the word "bootleg" isn't a synonym for "crappy" it's basic...

I know I've sort of missed the boat for commenting on the subtitles for DBZ, but what the hell I figure I'll throw in my two cents anywho. Mr. Simmon's subtitles are a delight to read, I really began to appreciate them after purchasing a few (non Dbz of course) dvds with uh, less than stellar transl...

Captain Awesome - Done and replied. You're not the only one interested in these so I'll try and figure out shipping for you ASAP. If there ends up being a dispute over who gets 'em I might just put 'em on eBay and have you duke it out there. :wink: Ick :(, half the reason I jumped at these was the ...

Another one of these topics eh? If I could be bothered cracking out my UUE's I'd post a picture of one of the dinosaur stampedes (when Gohan is out in the wilderness) where you can see the scratches all over the cel, so much so that it looks like a bad moving collage,. I'd like to see how that was c...

I honestly don't see what's wrong with them, the show wasn't spectacularly consistent anyway. But the manga was, we know what the characters should look like, It's not a huge gripe, as apart from Nappa and Vegeta, the characters I've seen so far look pretty good. I think Super Dbz set the bar for c...

Indeed, its how I got the Buu saga myself, if I had a digital camera I'd take pictures of the (crappy) boxes. Oh they're terrible (I got five dollars off for a small rip in mine) they don't really deserve the name "Box" they are more like flimsy paper sleeves who's only job is to hold the...
