It was just that one. The rest of the volumes I own seem sturdier, despite apparently having less glue in the binding.Jinzoningen MULE wrote: I've never had anything like that happen. Maybe I've just been lucky.
I find a downside to the size though. It is a bit harder to handle when reading, comparing to Viz's Tankobon sized relases (although the Japanese full color release was difficult to handle as well despite being Tankobon sized... pretty sure the extra tight binding was the culprit).

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussion
In theory, I quite like the fact these books are much bigger. Means the art is huge, making it easier to see and appreciate Toriyama's excellent artwork.
I don't personally own the full colours myself, but having big hands, I never find large books to be a problem.

The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussion
The art in the Full Colors really does look beautiful blown up the way it is. I don't know if I'd want the original manga this big (I guess that's what the Digest Edition was for), but the size really complements the colors, in my opinion.Robo4900 wrote:In theory, I quite like the fact these books are much bigger.

That's a fair point. I actually had to put it on the bottom of my bookshelf, since it was the only shelf tall enough.Jinzoningen MULE wrote:It works, it's just inconvenient for someone without much space, like me.

I'd ask about the whole DB part but why Buu ? it's part of Z so they'll eventually release it after Cell.Robo4900 wrote:Someone should ask them if they have plans to eventually do Boo, and -- most importantly -- the boyhood-era stuff.

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussion
Of course Viz is going to do Boo. The whole reason they've taken so long to release each arc is probably so they can take their sweet time replacing every instance of the word "Satan" in the art.

You guys are talking about Boo... but they haven't announced Cell yet, have they?

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussion
Nope, but I can't see why they would do the Androids unless Freeza did atrociously. Boo and pre-Z is debatable, but surely we'll finish the Cell Games. Although unfortunately, it's very unlikely that we'll get the Trunks bonus chapter. Luckily, it's not too big of a loss.omegalucas wrote:You guys are talking about Boo... but they haven't announced Cell yet, have they?

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussion
I decided to try my luck
which I obviously don't have. They still don't know anything.
Saiyan arc announced in 2013 at Anime Expo and released in 2014.
Freeza arc announced in 2015 at Anime Expo and released in 2016/2017.
Going by their pattern, I fear Cell arc will only be announced next year at Anime Expo and start getting released in 2019.

A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.
Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussion
If they have been consistently announcing it one year and then releasing it in the following year, then (with any luck) they should be announcing the Android arc this year, regardless of whether the Freeza saga also finished this year (it was just the final volume anyway).FortuneSSJ wrote: Saiyan arc announced in 2013 at Anime Expo and released in 2014.

(I still think Viz is way too slow announcing and releasing things. France announced Super after Viz and still got it out earlier. Wish they would just license the whole thing at once, or at least just keep on printing it and then pulling the plug if it turns out not to be doing well.)

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussion
Viz are releasing Super volume 2 in Dec meanwhile some European countries are releasing as early as July! People say it's Shuiesha but Viz have a habbit of slow releases it seems, been seeing people complaining that their HxH anime sets are being released slowly.

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussion
Although it feels really slow, four months between sets 1 and 2 really isn't too bad. I'm sure they're also trying to keep the releases behind the broadcast. If people really want to talk about Viz being slow, look at their Bleach Blu-ray sets. Six months between set 1 and 2 for a show that's been done and over with and isn't even airing on TV. It's been four months since set 2 and they haven't even announced a date for set 3. They really should take a page out Funi's book and be releasing a set a month like Buu Kai.Baggie_Saiyan wrote: Viz are releasing Super volume 2 in Dec meanwhile some European countries are releasing as early as July!

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussion
Damn I didn't know that about Bleach re-release being that slow! Anyway as you FUNi were able to to breeze past Kai so doubt Toonami have a say so if it is something to do with broadcast I guess it's to do with the licensor then. Speaking of FUNi they have gotten smart with release schedules evee since that DBOX/Kai/Level Set debacle.Freeza Soldier #156 wrote:Although it feels really slow, four months between sets 1 and 2 really isn't too bad.

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussion
They don't have as many shows as Funimation so it makes since to hold on to a big name like that as long as possible.Freeza Soldier #156 wrote:Six months between set 1 and 2 for a show that's been done and over with and isn't even airing on TV.

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussion
It appears Viz won't be announcing more Full Color during their panel at Anime Expo.
I have no idea what the hold up is here - the series is very popular, but Viz just don't seem interested.

Re: Viz's Print Edition of the "Full Colour Comics" Discussion
How popular is the manga really, though? Comics in general are in the tank as far as the west goes, and these Full Color releases can't be cheap to print. It's entirely reasonable for them not to continue. My default assumption was that they'd quit after the Cell games due to the long-standing censorship tradition with the series that would likely be impossible to continue past that point, but I'm not surprised that they aren't continuing passed Freeza, either.DBZ_Lee wrote:It appears Viz won't be announcing more Full Color during their panel at Anime Expo.

When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.
