1) Now that I have access to the original broadcast audio for DB/DBZ/DBGT, I can't imagine why anyone would wanna go back to the Dragon Box audio. Though I'd imagine that once AB Video reaches episode #079, they will probably have to use the Dragon Box audio in some spots due to joining in progress...

I just find it funny how RtD featured those clips from version 3 of Head Cha-La, and how someone watching the syndi broadcast back in 1996/97 without prior knowledge of the original Japanese version (granted that kind of material in any wide form was far and few between, given how primitive the Inte...

Well, um...that "name and term filter" policy isn't even a thing that's actively enforced on the forum anymore so i don't really see why your complaining about it in the first place. I'm guessing he's mad that his thread that he necroposted back got closed. Exactly, because i can't imagin...

Honestly, for the most part when i watch dubbed DBZ i just go with Kai. I know it's not a perfect dub much like how it isn't a perfect product in of itself from a technical and production aspect (That's mostly on Toei's part of course) but between the original Z dub and Remastered and the former i'l...

They honestly could have just re-released the DVD singles (including episode 28-67 ofc) in more affordable boxsets and called it day instead of doing....pretty much everything they did after That was Lance Heiskell's original plan for the 'Rock the Dragon' collection, to have cheap DVD collections ...

Well, this at least confirms the FUNi branded versions with the circa 2007 "brick" digipack casing will seemingly no longer be available as in print. Of course CR could repackage at some point like what happened with GT not too long ago, or even re author the discs with updated masters. Gu...

The UK editions are also showing low stock on Amazon . That could be another sign, or it could not mean what we think. Kai went out of print a while ago when the Z Blu-Rays were being released, but then it started being listed again. The same could happen again with the Z DVDs. If I had to guess, C...

I have to imagine this is just a continuation of the clearing of stock and re-issuing under new Crunchyroll SKUs . As you alluded to, we had a similar thing happen with the Dragon Ball GT "Complete Series" DVD box set this last year. Nothing to be excited about (or frightened by). Also, w...

Yes, you read that correctly. It seems that after just over 16 years (Wow, seriously it came out that long ago) since the controversial lightning rod of a DBZ release known as the "Orange Bricks" first hit store shelves, and apparently all nine of the FUNImation branded versions of the rel...

Honestly, this feels like Toriyama was trying to move on from Goku and he'd felt like he'd taken him as far as he could go and then tried to continue on with Gohan now as the MC after Goku decided to stay dead in the Next World at the end of the Cell arc. Only to realize that oops, he turned out to ...

Recasting the voices. I'd rather have a flawed, but sincere new take on a character than a perfect, soulless recreation of the voice as-is. Alden Ehrenreich didn't sound and feel EXACTLY like Harrison Ford's Han Solo but he did his best to do the character justice while also making it his own. My g...

True, and even if the Bob Hoskins/John Leguizamo/Dennis Hopper Mario film still isn't a great movie (and also doesn't really work as an adaptation of SMB) in of itself at least it has that cult following to it's name despite being a box office flop back in 1993. DB Evolution doesn't even have such a...

Episode #40 was amazing, I loved everything about it (Piccolo's death is just... *cries*). It works as an ending too. But I'm glad we've had got 24 more episodes, even if the Super #17's Arc (except his design, it's sick, I love it) was mediocre. I do wonder if they had the Goku Jr. special as a po...

Originally GT had the greenlight for 40 episodes, but it was pretty much a given more episodes would be ordered. The second order was for 24 episodes, but I don't recall the reason why it was no more than that, and why that point was to be the original end of the Dragon Ball series. I'd guess it wa...

Probably because it was Kai's introduction to the US and the striking while the iron's hot factor. Naturally because the CW and Toonami were rerunning Kai it was less of a big deal and didn't have as big a pull as Nicktoons did when they could boast having the newest Dragon Ball show. Yes, and cert...

It's also notable for having carried the Kenji Yamamoto score for longer than the DVD/BD releases here did, as the latter went up to episode 52 on the Part sets before changing over to the Kikuchi replacement score (Part 5, which originally was scheduled to have Yamamoto's music as well up to the la...

Put yourself in the mind of a Toei employee in 1997. After the studio had spent 11 years working on an anime series that produced hundreds of episodes, a dozen and a half films, partial work on additional media, and some noncanon promotions, you kinda might be in total despair upon believing that y...

I mean, this "recolor a character with problematic design" thing isn't even new relative to Mr. Popo on Toonzai/CW's edit of Kai. One of the best examples is OLM going back and recoloring Jynx/Rougela in older Pokemon (Pocket Monsters) episodes from black to purple after the controversies ...
