Re: Optimal Viewing Experience

Some of you may be pleased to know: After further consideration, I've concluded that the DVD Singles are indeed the best means to view the series with the American OST, just as all of you advised. The video quality seems only a notch below the Dragon Box. Not far off. The only that can be said about...

Re: Help Guide for DBZ Funimation Singles DVDs (links + screens)

68-70 only sync if you mute the recaps (or just play the Faulconer recap theme with nothing else) and do some editing on where the ep 68 eyecatch would be. Well, there are no recaps on my DVD, but I’ve seen that it syncs at the point where Goku appears behind Burter. Also, I’ve noticed that they di...

Does that mean 68-70 don't sync?

I thought that after 68 (which is 30 min long), the rest of the series syncs perfectly.

Re: Help Guide for DBZ Funimation Singles DVDs (links + screens)

Is there any release that contains recaps with Dale Kelly’s narration for episodes 68-74? There's no release that has it complete, not even sure an uncut version of 68-70/71 recap exists with Dale Kelly as the edited episodes ends and starts in different areas earlier than uncut. So the Madman sing...

Re: Dragon Ball: Saga Sets vs. Yellow Bricks vs. Madman Box Sets

The "Yellow Bricks" as you call them are exactly the same as Madman's fat packs. The difference is, the Manga UK repackaged version is cheaper.. sorta. I see. And how do they compare with the American Saga sets? • PAL vs NTSC • All episodes are uncut Basically, the two important points. I...

Dragon Ball: Saga Sets vs. Yellow Bricks vs. Madman Box Sets

As I’m considering buying Dragon Ball before it was tampered with (Blue Bricks), I wonder, which of these would be the best option? I understand that all of these releases use the same video source but have minor differences among them? What would those be? For example, I heard that some use interla...

Re: Funimation Re-dubbing

I'd like to thank you all for your exhaustively detailed responses. They certainly haven't gone unnoticed.

A last question that I have is, was any of DB or DBGT redubbed? Or do the singles and the season sets for each use the same recordings?

Re: Funimation Re-dubbing

So it seems to me that following the Frieza Saga, Funimation’s original dub was better!

Funimation Re-dubbing

I'm asking specifically about the dub changes from the original DVD singles to the future releases (Orange Brick, Dragon Box, Blu-ray).

I understand that from episode 68 to 107 has been extensively re-dubbed.

How about the rest of the series? Are there any major changes after the Frieza saga onward?

Re: Japanese Amazon

I'm trying to buy certain videos from Amazon Prime Japan (the DBZ films, for example), and it's not accepting my non-Japanese credit card.

I'll try Tenso.

Japanese Amazon

Does anyone know the means by which to purchase from Japanese Amazon if you're living outside of Japan?

I was told I'd need a credit card issued by the Bank of Japan.

Surely there's another way.
