10 years ago when I got my last Dragon Box, I lapsed as a fan. I had discovered Dragon Ball in the late 90s with the Ocean dub of the original series, and much of my interest would be driven for the next 10+ years directly thanks to Funimation holding the series hostage. When new Ocean episodes ...

Spines look much better out of the box. I bet when they are all released, we'll be able to get one big box to put them all in, solving this spine issue.

Got my DBox2 on Saturday and watched a few episodes. Man, that filler that bridges the two Dragonboxes is just awful. Otherwise, seems to be the ...

i had a shipping confirmation email last night at 2AM and I'm 2 hours from them

hope I get it today

No, the PS3 didn't give me the option of adjusting the aspect ratio settings. That's why I had to do it with my TV. I also tested the DVD on my desktop computer and while it's not as bad as it was on the PS3, the colors were still bleeding like crazy on the first episode (mostly in the darker ...

Why wouldn't it? Regardless of the aspect ratio in which he chooses to view the Dbox, it cannot be argued that the picture quality and clarity is leaps and bounds above what is seen on the season sets.

Do you really think watching this in 4:3 is the only selling point here?

Another factor is ...

Sorry, but if there is one thing i don't like is watching something with black bars. Then i feel stupid for buying such a big tv...

Why are you bothering with the Dragonboxes then? You can get the season sets for a fraction of the price and you can watch it in anamorphic widescreen as opposed to ...

I decided to return my cracked case to rightstuf. I mailed the return in on Monday, and got a new Dragonbox back yesterday (Friday). Fairly quick, but I'm only 2 hours from them, so take it with a grain of salt.

My new set looks perfect. No cracks or smashed packaging. Haven't played any of the ...

A brighter picture generally means a narrower color spectrum (less full) which is probably the result of more compression (in the same way that more compressed sound is quieter). We're seeing the direct result of Funi cramming an extra episode on the disk and this is EXACTLY why we didn't want even ...

got home from travel today and finally got to check out the dragonbox that got delivered to me last week. unfortunately, the disk 1-3 case had been cracked like an earlier poster had stated:

I think "different" fan is a better way to say it less negative conotation than "lesser" fan. But lets think about this for a second.

Absolutely, we are "different" fans. We're fans of the "different" versions of this series. If that wasn't true, we wouldn't be having this arguement.

Once you've ...

Dub or Sub, we're all fans of the same thing: Dragonball .


That's the problem with everyone trying to get along. It's NOT the same show.

I recently asked my 10 year old neighbor if he'd ever heard of Dragonball. He and his friends responded with "Dragonball???!!! That's for kindergardners ...

I wish there was an official Dbox thread that wasn't locked that I could post this in, but I emailed right stuff and asked if the set was delayed.


Thank you for your email.

Perhaps offer suggestions for improvements? If you know the dub well, maybe you can offer good insight.

Dude, Metalwario was adding on to what you said and more importantly, AGREEING WITH YOU.

oops

Really if Goku ONLY cared about fighting strong enemies, he would have accepted Raditz's proposal.
That's why it severely irks me when people jump on the "Hate Goku Bandwagon" and say things like "OMG Hez da most selfish person in the whole world and he is fucking evil and cruel!!! He only cares ...

It has more to do with changes in the characters' motivations. When care is not taken in the translation (or when silent scenes are filled in with endless, made up dialogue), a character's motivation changes, and thus, the character itself changes.

For instance, Funimation's Goku is motivated very ...

I just don't understand how you can be so passionate about a work of art and not want to experience it in its original, unmodified form.

I know. I don't understand why people watch the anime either.

You could state this point without the sarcasm and it would be less likely to lead to the types ...

That's exactly how I watch all anime dubs. I don't look for accuracy or any of that shit. I just watch it to enjoy it.

Ok... I'm attempting to calmly discuss this so mods don't get mad.

I'm wondering, just how bad of a translation would it have to be before you would give a shit? Where do you ...

Now, with that in mind, are you going to tell me that you were using "objective" in the proper context?



... yes? Are you saying that if I (an English only speaker) were in Mexico City, and really, really had to use the bathroom, that Spanish wouldn't be useless to me?


Second of all, and ...
