While no offense is meant, you haven't seen anything . I'll happily send you a sampler disc with some clips directly taken from the DragonBox, back-to-back with FUNi clips. I'll also throw in test patterns and tell you how to calibrate your television to (close to) reference levels. THEN, you can r...

What I have noticed is the difference in packaging, it's now in a hard plastic case and the discs are no longer stacked on top of each other, not to mention the 4:3 shots on the box and in the book are now 16:9 (not sure if they were cropped or just stretched) , and the spine no longer forms part o...

I just got my copy of Funi's Season 1 box today (Yay..?, I'm really conflicted about it :? ) What I have noticed is the difference in packaging, it's now in a hard plastic case and the discs are no longer stacked on top of each other, not to mention the 4:3 shots on the box and in the book are now 1...

I'm pretty sure I didn't laugh or feel emotionally stirred even once throughout the experience, and frankly the designs were awful, A-W-F-U-L. What about the ending?, I thought that was the only part of GT that lived up to (In my opinion, actually surpassed) it's predecessor, I thought Z had an inc...

Don't forget the defecation, I hear thats crucial to the "remastering" process.
Still, if it's all that's on offer, It will have to do.

For the large part, I enjoyed GT. Sure there were plotholes galore, but amidst the crap there were some genuinely good Ideas (I liked the whole Tsufu-jin Saiya-jin history) but they all suffered from poor execution. I think the series had more consistent animation (possibly because it was shorter) a...

Anyway, I still think that the hair would be a bit silly to reproduce, though I understand where you're coming from when you reference recent comic book based movies. Wolverine from X-Men comes to mind. I thought it was really cool how they styled Hugh Jackman's hair. Still, I don't know. I'm think...

Well'p, I got pretty much two different voices to use for Tullece if you guys wanna check out. Here's my Tullece voice at work in a short parody and here's my Goku voice in a very ruthless manner . Ya' know, if myself or Acid aren't suitable, we could always have omega give an evil Goku voice for T...

And the "they" is Tim Hill, the director of the recent Garfield movie.

I know.
Oh god no.

I named my cat after Alvin, now his memory is going to be insulted by this terrible movie.

What he said. :-) I have the cheapest set up that you can imagine. I own an Emerson TV, which I got for free when I bought a car a couple of years ago. Yeah, free . My DVD player is a Cyberhome CH-DVD 300, which ran me about 36 bucks at Wal-mart, after tax. So, I'm guessing either your television i...

To be fair on Madman, the reason people in the US get them for so cheap is because a lot of places sell far below the MSRP, whereas JBhifi and other places in Aus only sell lower to a certian degree. it's moreso our market just being way smaller (and less wasteful) than the US. Besides which, $10 A...

Actually, Madman is releasing the DBZ Season sets in Australia already, so you shouldn't have a hard time finding it at Madman's site. As a fellow fan of the Japanese version, and a sympathizer of DBZ fans living in Australia, I'd say your best bet pretty much would be the DBZ Season Sets. I mean, ...

in response to mr. awesome (if that is your real name), I'd just go for the sets. Since you're a Japanese version fan, the Japanese audio track should keep you happy; and if I read right in previous threads, most of Madman's releases are uncut dub-only. Thanks, I might go pick it up on monday. As f...

I can't be bothered going through 60 odd pages to find an answer, but is there any information on the game's soundtrack?

Especially if releases outside of Japan will get the same soundtrack instead of music that was rejected from Sonic the Hedgehog.

As someone who can't afford the Dragonboxes (if I found one that is), these terrible Funi sets seem to be my only option. I own the first Ultimate Uncut box set, and apart from the saturation and how grainy the film was (also the price was ridiculous) I thought they were decent releases. I'm aware o...
