Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?

Just ordered my first Movie Collection figure. I know they aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I've always loved how detailed they were. Even had a brief email exchange about the line's creation with an ex-Irwin employee.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima (2024)

The Good:
Mostly 2D animation
Above average animation fluidity and complexity
(Possibly) features more adventure than fighting

The Bad:
Novelty will probably wear off fast
Expanded rehash of GT 's kidifying concept

Not really feeling it currently, but will reserve judgement until I ...

Re: Funi's Kai dub and accuracy

It certainly seems to imply Goku knew him personally. But I'm willing to give Funimation the benefit of the doubt by assuming he was trying to say, "With the Red Ribbon, huh? So is Gero after world domination too?"

Re: Information regarding Malaysian bootleg DVD?


Never seen it, I wonder if the back only lists 16:9 because it's the standard in the HD era. The level sets listed 16:9 on the cases even though the discs were 4:3.

Slightly disappointed the back cover indicates these DVDs contained the Cantonese dub. If it contained the Malay dub it would be a ...

Information regarding Malaysian bootleg DVD?

I'm looking for information regarding the contents of this Malaysian Dragon Ball Z bootleg DVD. While the back claims the footage is taken from one of the 16:9 releases, I want to be 100% sure. While rare, I do know from this very forum that Dragon Box bootlegs do exist.

Here's the eBay listing ...

Unless you need the dub music, you already own the perfect release.

Re: What was the worst era of DB video games?

Yeah, it's the 7th gen for me too. When Raging Blast released, it led to a lot of stagnation. The 8th gen was a huge improvement for me thanks to its variety.

Re: New Dragon Ball Z Blu-Rays From Crunchyroll Coming August 1st

How foolish I was for thinking Crunchyroll may actually enforce higher standards. Really makes me regret only getting the first three steelbooks, now that the aftermarket has priced me out of the rest.

Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks

I understand criticisms against Funimation when they clearly demonstrated their ability to do gorgeous remasters of the show with the Level Sets. However, I have to agree that people are being hyperbolic with their complaints about the latest remaster. I don't know how anyone could watch the Orange ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks


I’m double dipping. Have the 30th anniversary and the packaging stinks so I’m getting the steelbooks too. The orange bricks and season sets were garbage and I never supported. These are watchable. I hated the 16x9 cropping. HATED. I support OAR. I’m all for widescreen if it is native. The set is ...

Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks


I will also say, these steelbooks look really nice in person and the discs use a cool metallic ink. Now, it wouldn't make me feel less safe to not always use them as it would my 30th lol

Pretty sure this is just standard for Funi, right? The Dragon Boxes did the same, didn't they? Been a while since I watched them, but I recall noticing the same thing on another Funi release at the very least. Romaji one episode, English the next.


I've never noticed it on the old singles or the ...

Re: If Toei ever announces they'll do a Blu-ray Dragon box

Now that the 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition remaster is available in Canada through the season steelbooks, I've decided they're good enough. They look way more presentable than the Orange Bricks or 2014 Blu-rays. With how long I've waited for a "cheap" way of owning the series in 4:3, I just ...

I have the first season. I can confirm that they are just a repackaging with new labels.
