Well not really, the good Buu is a manifestation of the good qualities of the Super Grand Kai thing (I forget his name sorry. He and the other Kaioshins formed that personality (if you consider the real Buu separated himself from Mr. Buu... what's left?)

As far as the theory that Vegitto would have ...

you know what's sad is that whole brilliant scientist and rigal 7 crap was some of the best written lines in DBZ at the time. Even though almost noooooone of it was the real maccoy it was so good.

This trailer here looks like it has some legit images played to FUNi's extremely overplayed opening DBZ theme. It has some new posters and an image with Goku's gi., more standard look. Might make some of you happy.

Well the sign is a vibrant orange, not that we don't see that in the movie at all but usually that color is used so people pay notice to equipment,

Note it also looks like a single coat of paint.

The allignment also looks way off.

It seems really unlikely this sign is used in the film for a ...

the fandom is in loop. There is like a cycle, people who saw Dragon Ball when it was aired, then the Ocean Dub, then the FUNimation dub and more rescently we will see more in these remastered deals.... then we have the movies so exposure is going to continue for the series to newer people.

in the next burst limit there should be an attack called 'Freeza Burn'

In Frieza's extended family tree we have Chilla, Frosty the Snowman, Colder, Blizzarda, Ice Man, Doctor Freeze, King Cooler, Sorbet, Frigid, Sub-Zero, anything cheesey applies.

I would love to see popscicle the dog. Why, he has ...

I think abridged has staying power, even the myspace joke has a bit more going for it than cheesey one liners tossed around non stop. Over 9000 and I want to carress these balls linehave been around for a very long time, their stay power is only based on the fact new fandom is in loop.

Even 25 percent is huge. Also the purists I think buy a lot more if you think about it. I mean I have owned tons of uncut video releases, DVDs, manga and most people that get into Dragon Ball either preffer the jap version or respect it. Judging by how the orange bricks have been sold, they seem to ...

Hmm' only like half of the seats look filled. Could it be that they might add human-like animals that show up in the series? It could just be a camera trick to make it look like there are more people in the stadium though.

Lots of productions now lower the amount of people in an audience and ...

I never found the over 9000 line that funny, but I don't care if other people do. Rather than thinking this perpetuates the inconsistencies between the dub and the japanese version I think it highlights actual knowledgeable fandom based hysteria. Everyone I know that enjoyed that clip was a hardcore ...

F-King Furizing sounds good to me. Living in Canada I think it is an incredinly stron villain that uses temperature in their name.

the only logical explanation i can come up with as to TOEI not notusing English subtitles with a growing market is some sort of agreement witjh Funimation which prevents them from outwardly marketting overseas Even if the market for DVDs is 1/10th over here for Jap CD and DVD sales I would think ...

I see what you are saying ultimateemail and I appreciate it, unfortunately these are the choices FUNimation are leaving us with at this point.

I don't mean to be a pessimist but I think that is wishful thinking. As odd as it sounds I think Toei woud have to liscence the releases of those dubs, I don't think subtitles are out of the question though.

Dragon Box Singles purchasing order

I am breaking down and buying these things shortly and I wanted opinions.

Is it more plausable to wait the five to ten years it may or may not take for blue ray releases or is it worth spending the money on the region free dvd player and buying the dragon box singles?

If so and someone has gone ...

I think I finally understand what everyone's worries are after seeing tons of comments ranging from one aspect to another. Basically FUNi is not funny enough. Aside from pronunciations they turn everything into a battle scene and ignore the charm of Dragon Ball's consistent humour.
