DBW has the right Idea here. Seriously, FUNimatino has been catering to the Dub Fans for 13 years, just because we sub fans are finally getting the release WE want isn't the end of the world. Well, that's not exactly what I'm trying to convey. @jjgp1112 Believe me, I'm not on a crusade against the ...

Then how come the Season Sets had alternate angles for the title cards without glitches? I don't know, I don't own the season sets. But I do have the Dragon Boxes and the recap, title card and first half of the episode are on a single track. I said it creates potential glitches when you do somethin...

Since they've been showing off their mock-up units already, I'm assuming the packaging has already been sent off to be mass produced. Or the exact opposite. I'm not saying you're wrong, but the mock-up could also be a prototype to gauge reactions and get general feedback. And in regards to a couple...

or a new 2-D full-feature-length animated DB movie by Toei. Rebuild of DragonBall Z: 1.0 YOU ARE (NOT) AN EARTHLING Day-fucking-one! Personally I'll be happy to get rid of them. I never really wanted them to begin with and only bought them because I thought this would be it. I know this is a lot of...

Maybe that's something you all should ask yourselves: When you've sold all of your sets that you've shelled out $300 for and gotten only half in return, and you go out and buy your first set with only the first 40 or so episodes (and having to wait another few months for the next), after you've dro...

I only have Z Season 1-8 and GT Season 1. I just might have enough money to purchase Kai Boxset and DBOX. All I have to do is to save money starting now. You guys might as well do the same. If you really want to buy Kai so badly, be my quest. Actually, it's nothing wrong on buying Kai because Kai i...

Oh, no doubt. I actually hope that lots of people buy this set (I'd like to see it outperform the season sets, although that seems unlikely). It's kind of a conundrum. They did a shitty thing, but without that shitty thing we might not get these sets, even though in the end it's +2 for FUNi and -2 ...

If this were any other show I'd say fuck it. But it's damn Dragonball for crying out loud. The show that is practically responsible for my anime and manga habit. I was one of the those who bought all the sets, faults and all. But being as Funi admitted to fucking up at Otakon, I will reward their h...

Another sacrifice for what? Your money. A lot of people (as evidenced on this very board) are now going to be buying the entire series from FUNimation twice, virtually back-to-back. I agree that the Season Sets probably helped fund this release, but those who bought them aren't getting a refund or ...

Damn, in total it'd be 560 pages. They must be planning a lot for the booklets. Either that, or they could merely intend to include the same booklet with each set that comes out. FUNimation has been known to skimp out on content before. Re-printing 80 pages of identical content for every box would ...

Could it be 128 x 2 books divided by 7 books? Nope. Which means Funi will probably be adding more content. Can't wait to see what it is. Most definitely, but there's a chance that the majority of the content will be straight from the original Dragon Books. People are forgetting that the size of the...

Remember how many releases EVA got? Didn't hear complaints about that. You must not have been listening very hard. We still haven't got a release in the US to match the Japanese release standards. No original stereo track and interlaced video? ADV can stick their "Platinum" release up the...

Yes but there is no reason why Funimation shouldn't include English dub specially for us to purchase DBOX, would it? The disc space could go toward making the best encoding possible for the Japanese version with subs. I can see what you are saying but I have seen every American movies included with...

The dub isn't a part of the Dragon Boxes either. You guys are acting like it'd be some sort of victory if the dub was ostracized from these sets. No, infact I hope that it's included. I'm just saying that demanding multiple versions of the dub might be excessive. FUNimation has already bought the s...

Like it or not, the dub music is still A PART of Dragon Ball and it'd be silly not to include it to just to satisfy a few people who hate it. But it's not a part of Dragon Box which is what they're selling here. Again, I don't mind if it's included, but if they sacrifice any amount of quality to sq...

Both versions are now going to be available to us, I don't think we need to go down this road again. Like most people, he probably has a widescreen TV and prefers when the image fills the entire frame. It's not uncommon. Or he “prefers” it because he already paid for it… :P I am not trying to incit...

He's bi-curious with Dragon Ball. :lol: You are of course entitled to your preference, but I don’t understand the reasoning behind it. If someone said to you, here, you can choose to see either the whole of the original artwork, or a little more than half of it… would you really choose the latter? ...

Wrong. I loved the widescreen way more than the fullscreen. But hey, whatever. I won't sweat it being fullscreen. I can watch it in that with no problem. I hope you don't take offense to this, but why do you even want these sets? Every post you've made in this thread points towards you preferring t...

Ugh, I go away for a while and come back to a royal shit storm... :x First off, if you're concerned about multiple dub tracks, then you don't really understand what this release represents. As they said, this is for the hardcore (read: Japanese version) fanbase. Now I'm not saying dub fans aren't ha...
