So since Brina Palencia, Greg Ayres, Justin Cook, Sean Schemmel, Sonny Strait and Vic Mignogna did their Dragon Soul versions, I'd love to hear Gohan's Dragon Soul (Colleen Clinkenbeard).

If FUNimation got their Goku to sing Dragon Soul, then the child of Goku might as well do it too. :D

That too.

I'd love to take a photo with him, and Colleen, plus an autograph from both of them, probably won't ever happen because I don't live in US. :P

A trailer for a Funimation rifftrack of Dragonball Evolution (I know TFS have done it already, but it would be pretty interesting to hear Funi's take on that movie)

How would that have any relevancy on a Dragon Ball Z Kai release?

Well, it could go on to a "coming soon" extra, the same way trailers for forthcoming projects are on a dvd.

But directly pertaining to Kai, perhaps the main VAs could have an interview panel about the main ups and downs of Kai and how it has gone for them.

Not entirely sure it's the right place, but it looks like we got a cover.

Kind of a predictable choice, but I like it...though I gotta say, the art on Goku's face looks...off...

Well, it's not bad but the Japanese design is much better, here it is:

Or optionally:

To me, that design for Kai 8 does not do justice, try to do a replica of the Japanese design, if that's the real cover.

I really like the cover for Part 8 and will go as far to say that this is probably my favorite cover art for Kai (of the Funimation sets). The red banner goes very nicely as well.

I'd have to say I like both of those Japanese covers a lot better too. Maybe we'll get lucky and this one is just a placeholder.

I like this cover that was revealed but, I have a problem with it at the same time. However the Japanese cover has a non SSJ Goku which is really weird and diminishes my ability to like it!! The English Cover is more accurate but goku really looks off the way he is drawn!!! The Facial Expression of Gohan seems better to me but at the same time less intense!!! The alternate cover is awesome but I want a cover to feature SSJ2 Gohan since the orange bricks, Dragon Boxes never did!!! Overall I like the cover but I think part four was my favorite!!!

Have you ever read the original manga? Goku isn't SSJ in it. And yeah, Goku looks really weird in this cover. I'm sure that I can draw him better.

I'm just glad seeing Gohan on the cover! But wow..comparing it with the Japanese cover, for shame...Why even change it?

I like the Japanese version MUCH better. I dunno how to describe it... I guess I just feel more emotion coming from that artwork as opposed to the FUNimation one.

That's not to say I dislike the FUNimation one. It's still cool and I like it, I just like the Japanese version better. Glad to finally see Gohan make a cover.

Yes, he is. It's quite clearly the Super Saiyan hair, it's just colored darkly, perhaps to make it look "spectral" or something.

My biggest problem with this cover is the lack of intensity on Gohan's face. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with it.

I like the flow of this cover; the color scheme of Goku and Gohan goes nicely with the red bar. But I don't like the artwork. Not that it's 'off' (which it is) as people are complaining about, but that, compared to the Japanese cover, it doesn't feel like it has enough power behind the art.

I don't really mind the artwork. Stuff like that comes second compared to the content inside.
