Home Release Guide's Future

Post by Lunaar » Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:06 am

jamiljamtheman started a thread on the different versions of the DBZ Movies released in North America and after reading his question and seeing the responses, I wanted to go look something up. I was sort of bummed out when I went to go fact check when the 1999 FUNi dub VHS tapes first dropped, as I know I watched Freeza and Piccolo fight a full month before Z-Day happened on Toonami. When I went to check the Captain Ginyu releases, their release dates correspond with the DVD releases only - of which were released later the next year.

Do you have any plans to catalog the various "edited" versions of the movie/VHS release dates on the site? Or to an even larger extent, the matching box art? There's a bit of history with the VHS tapes, as outdated and awful as they are. Would you rather not bother providing non-essential information on an outdated format or is it something you've been meaning to tackle someday? ...maybe best saved for the wiki to end all wikis?

The point behind the guide has always been to document the series as it's available in the original Japanese language, with the exception of a release that begins dub-only and ends up bilingual (as was the case with the original, single-disc DVD releases).

I'm far more interested in making additions that document the series as it's available in Japanese in other countries than I am documenting dub-only releases from any country.

Hell, before anything else I wanna go back and add the actual Japanese VHS and LD releases!

Thanks! I can get behind that framework. I would love to see the Japanese VHS/LD info go up on the site!

Nice! I've been wanting that here for a while! While you are at it, will you add the uncut release of Movies 1-3 on VHS and LD on there too? I know there were JP Subbed VHS's of these, don't know 'bout the LD's
