Well I have no problem getting mine to fit in the slipcover. At least not when I slide the cover over the top rather than under the bottom because it prevents it from catching on the Blu-ray logo section.

The DVD version on Rakuten's Base is going for £10.54 with the code SPEND10 and the Blu-ray's £13.99. Certainly quite good prices.

Are the MangaUK subtitles different than Funimation's? While watching it I noticed that they used 'Colourful' and 'Realised'. Which is odd because 'realised' was used towards the end of the film but before this they had 'realized'. Did they edit Funimation's subtitles or are these their own?

They also use Beerus instead of Beers (and there is a single moment they use "King Kai" instead of "Kaio", during one of the extended scenes).

Was Madman credited? Then they might've been the ones who've done it, after all, they seem to have mostly the same spelling.

It's nice to see the correct use of 'colour' than 'color'.

Dude, there is no right or wrong when it comes to colors...
Color and colour are different spellings of the same word. Color is the preferred spelling in American English, and colour is preferred in all other main varieties of English. The distinction extends to all derivatives of the word. Colored, coloring, colorer, colorful, and discolor are the U.S. spellings, and coloured, colouring, colourer, colourful, and discolour are preferred outside the U.S.

Though I do have a question that might be best served as "in universe" but I thought I'd include it. How is Vegeta is stronger than SSJ3 ? though i surprised there was no SSJ3 Vegeta as it had been used heavily in stuff. But the film looked great. The art cards that come with it are beautiful too. This is easily the best DBZ film
It was a one off rage/power boost, And I don't thinking Vegeta managed to sustain it.
Fair enough :) It was only a small nitpick

Mate, that would be acceptable if it were in foreign countries where English isn't their primary language and as such, in UK we have our own grammar, US, Canada, Australia and so on. They all follow their grammar.

Pupils in schools/colleges don't write "color", "realize", "center", "soccer" (I fucking hate this word) or what have you because this isn't British English.

Actually, in Norway there's a large use of American english.

Sorry for the necroposting, but I wanted to know... I'm seeing here that Manga UK's subtitles are not the same as the ones on the US release? Considering my earlier experiences with Manga UK's in-house subtitles (aka, both Naruto and Attack on Titan being subtitled so poorly that I flat-out couldn't watch the show subtitled) this seems rather worrying to me... Is there anyone here who is able to actually compare the subs between this and the US release, or at least someone who can vouch for the subtitles not being completely horrible? Because it has occurred to me, out of all the anime-releases I've bought from Manga UK (admittedly not that many... I've got the first two Naruto-sets, Summer Wars, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, the OVA-series Freedom and the first half of Attack on Titan), Summer Wars is the only one I haven't noticed any glaring flaws with... and that one was, from what I understand, literally an exact reproduction of the US release. I mean, if the Manga UK release is good (Note that I already know about the audio for the Japanese theatrical cut being stereo only, and them omitting several extras... I can live with that) I'm okay with buying it, but if the subtitles aren't up to par, I'll just import Madman's release instead. Because quite frankly, I have more faith in their ability to provide a satisfying release than I do Manga UK's.

I can't speak on behalf of the Manga UK release, but the Madman release, as far as I can tell, is literally the Funimation release with the region code changed from A to B. (No Madman logo upon start up, trailers for Funimation properties Madman don't own in the extras, etc.)

That is what I expected, hence why I'm more willing to trust Madman than Manga UK. Problem is though, Madman's BluRay costs over 200 NOK. Which, going by the really annoying custom laws here in the country, means that I'd get hit with custom taxes pretty much doubling the final price if I bought it from them. So if Manga UK's release is at all viable, I'd really rather go for that and not have to deal with the overly expensive custom taxes.
