What if Funimation NEVER released DVDs for the series?

Topic.


I would most likely get the JPN Dragon Box DVD-BOX sets. I dunno.

Easy, I would've imported the R2 singles or the Spain 2-Disc sets by now...

I definitely would've collected the entire manga sooner at least.

Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

I probably wouldn't care about Dragonball at all.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Funi would be viewed as the most idiotic anime distributor in America. They'd go bankrupt and Viz would have the undisputed number one spot in the US anime industry.

I think i would have still been a fan of dragon ball just never knew that much about sites like daizex and stuff. And i would probably think of dragon ball as just a animation and not a anime.

Viz would've gotten their hands on the series and hired good va's to dub the show using scripts as close to the original as possible.

I wouldn't own the 30 or so dvds (most of which are singles; I feel stupid about buying them in hindsight now that we have DBoxes coming out. >_< ) that are sitting on a shelf in my room right now.


I'd also probably be a lot more excited for the DBox than I am (not that I'm not excited, I just feel like I'll need to find a way to sell off most of my singles now.)

I'd definitely have more money.

1. I'd be filthy rich.

2. I wouldn't be watching Dragonball anymore, or even interested at all.

3. I sure as hell wouldn't of found this site. :lol:
Next quest: Start collecting Dragon Ball Super Blu-Rays whenever season sets get released. Also the Super Manga!

ADV would have grabbed it.

Spike Spencer as Krillin.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

We're asking if Funi never released it on DVD, not if they never dubbed it.

Then the series' fanbase would mainly be towards only those who watched on tv. Or be similar to how lots of older cartoons still don't have full series on dvd.

If FUNi never released it on DVD then whoever would've would probably dub it themselves.
