Toei has revealed the covers for their next three DVDs of the Z Dragon Box individual disc release.

We got in an e-mail from Christian Rodriguez Hernandez from Germany this week, letting us know what is going on over there with regards to Dragon Ball GT.
We finally will get Dragon Ball GT here in Germany, and the airing will start on RTL 2 on the 30. October !!!
We waited over 2 years to get the continue from Dragon Ball Z so we fans are very exided about the final decision to air the show. It was a big secret this last weeks… (of course the hardcore Fans knew) but some days ago they made the offical anouncement, out of RTL 2 itself.
As a preview they put up today !!! The Opening from DBGT that were produces in Germany, for all Episodes … -
We are looking forward …
And Im sure you will have fun to listen to the German Version of DAN DAN ; )
So here is RTL’s page featuring the German opening to “Dragon Ball GT”… very cool stuff! While it uses a slightly MIDI-fied instrumental in the background, the lyrical performance is just fantastic. All you Germans out there, have fun with the series!
Try not to break things. Or fall asleep. It will be tough, though.
Coming off a very strong first week, The Magic Box is reporting that “Sparking! NEO” sold an additional 67,642 copies last week in Japan, being beaten out by the monstrous behemoths (redundant, but whatever) of “Pokemon” and “Final Fantasy”. Good to see that it is still doing well, though!
Episode #0047 of the podcast is available for download! This week, we discussed Sparking! NEO for the Japanese PS2. Listen for our initial thoughts after a few days of playing… how does it stack up? We’ll be back next week for our wrap-up, but there’s definitely a few things we had to get off our chest right off the bat. Even if you’re not a video game fan, there’s enough this episode to keep you entertained! Definitely check it out.
SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0047! VegettoEX, Meri, and Julian dive into the first half of a two-part “Sparking! NEO” (JP PS2) review. How does the game feel after only a few days of playing? Top 5 Welcome Character Additions in the game, DBZ ABCs, your e-mails, and a little rant on bootlegging round out the episode.
