What was your first Dragon Ball DVD?

Post by Pokewhiz7 » Tue May 15, 2012 9:32 pm

I just randomly thought of this today. What are you guys' first Dragon Ball DVDs? Here's the first one I ever had:
Image
I got this sometime in the early 2000s. I'm not sure when. Someone bought it for me, presumably from Blockbuster, since that's the case it came in. (Though I've since swapped it for a better one.) However, the first I ever bought myself was the first Dragon Box Z, when I was getting back into the franchise around 2009-2010.

This ugly son of a gun. I then got the Pioneer Movies and "Trunks - Mysterious Youth" before deciding DBZ wasn't worth the investment to collect at the time... many, many years later, the Dragon Boxes pulled me back in.

The year: 2000. Christmas. I received a DVD player and "Trunks: Mysterious Youth" and "The History of Trunks" DVDs. It was a very Trunks Christmas. :P

If I can remember correctly, I could have been either Movie 7, Path to Power or the First 2 GT singles. All of which were Funi of course.

My first Dragon Ball DVD was DBZ Kai part 1 last year (Kai is the reason I came back into the DB fandom)
If anyone has any of the DB/DBZ/DBGT or Maho Tsuaki Sally Japanese single DVD's that they'd be interested in selling send me a PM and I'll see if we can work something out. ;).

My first and second Dragon Ball (Z) DVDs were these:

As for tapes, I got three VHS' 2 of GT dubbed in PT and Film 13 of Z in Spanish.

I wonder if I still have Film 12 in Spanish somewhere, I do remember throwing away the cover and case when I was younger, so silly. :roll:
FUNimation 2015 Releases I want:

Pioneer's/Geneon's Dragon Ball Z Movie Trilogy (unfortunately, I had to return the damn thing a couple days later once I found out the Movie 1 disc was defective.)

I think my next DBZ DVD was DBZ Movie 4, followed a month or so later by Movie 5 (seeing a trend here?)
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

Back when I was all like, "Broly's powers is Maximum!", I saw the Movie 7 DVD at a ToysRUs and thought Super Android 13 was Broly. I knew he wasn't but it was wishful thinking. Anyway, I had never seen a DBZ DVD until that day so I begged my mom to buy it for me. I noticed there was a splash on the cover that said, "Includes Edited English Version Only". I was still unaware that DBZ was a Japanese cartoon, so I thought nothing of it.

Whoa. This was my first one too! And my story is kinda similar, just switch Toys R Us with KB toys and Mom with Dad.

Frieza: Death of a Prince
This was my first Anime DVD. I was barely jumping on the DVD bandwagon. So glad I always follow suit with newer technologies!

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

DVD? ahhh man I'd say it was one of the ultimate uncut DVD's
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

My first VHS was the one after Vegeta blows himself up against Buu.
My first DVD was Broly the legendary super saiyan and i hated it and the rock music. I wanted the music (Faulconer) from the show.
