Episode #0180 of the podcast is available for download! With “season one” of the fantastically hilarious “DBZ Abridged” now complete, we decided it was time to bring some of the guys from TeamFourStar back on the show to talk about the project. This week we have KaiserNeko and MasakoX talking about the journey through the …
We already told you all about how Wal-Mart’s website updated with a listing for a so-called “Dragon Ball: Season One (Widescreen)” set, which FUNimation has officially stated was a “mistake”. Well, now that Wal-Mart’s listing has gone even further and included cover art for the set, it is pretty safe to assume that the “mistake” …
A quick article over on ICv2 about Navarre/FUNimation notes that they have extended their license on the Dragon Ball franchise for another five years. Nothing is stated with regards to when their prior license agreement runs (or ran) out, and what the new end-date in their contract may be.
Navarre, FUNimation’s parent company, issued their annual report earlier this month. There are quite a few interesting tidbits we can pull out of this relating to Dragon Ball. Here are just a few of them: In particular, one licensed property accounted for $32.0 million, or 46%, of FUNimation’s revenues for the fiscal year ended March …
The big news of the day is clearly the Dragon Ball Kai Blu-ray and DVD sets and their listed details. The first Blu-ray set is due out 23 October 2009; keep in mind that the first disc (with the first three episodes) is due out 18 September 2009. That first disc is important because this …
The CDJapan entry for what would have been the July release of the Koro-chan Pack Dragon Ball Kai CD (which was also set to include a little picture book) is now listed as “Release Cancelled”. I had not actually put in my order for it yet, so if anyone out there did and received any …
Episode #0179 of the podcast is available for download! This week Meri and I took it easy and discussed the crazy all-speculation news week with talks of an Evolution sequel and Wal-Mart’s listing for a “widescreen” DragonBall season one DVD set. We also talked the Kai home release, June’s releases, e-mails, and our song of …
FUNimation has officially stated that the Wal-Mart listing for Dragon Ball: Season One (Widescreen) is a “mistake”. Things still seem a little too fishy based on the comment we received from Lionsgate and the original Saga of Goku sets mysteriously becoming unavailable on retailer sites. While the commonly-accepted “Lionsgate’s rights expire in 2010” nonsense is …
Dragon Ball Kai will be receiving a high-definition Blu-ray release in Japan: Set to release on 18 September 2009 for ¥3045, the first volume will contain three episodes. There will also be a standard DVD release with the same contents (albeit not in high-def) retailing for ¥1995. For a bit of comparison, and making no …
We contacted Lionsgate back in April regarding their sub-license to the first 13 episodes (and first movie) of the original Dragon Ball TV series — productions that have always been available edited and English-dubbed-only due to a distribution deal FUNimation wrangled themselves into back in 1995 when they first began producing the series. At that …
