Hey, I'll eat shit at this point to make up for what I said, although to be fair my viewpoint was certainly the safe bet at the time. Pics or it didn't happen. In all seriousness though, I agree with you. Just last week, it seemed like something like this was a distant impossibility and really just...

... FUNimation...I can't believe this. You're doing it. You've done it! You're doing it right! You've listened! Several other short exclamatory sentences! And it's July , so it's not even a cruel joke! Oh wow, I cannot wait for these to come out. I'm surprised a bit at the price, too - compared to w...

Not to sound utterly lame by taking this position (which it is, but here goes anyway), we're all fans of the same thing, aren't we? With the exception of the AB Group dub which gets points for hilarity anyway or Portuguese singing Ginyu, every version of the series has its own shining points in my o...

Oh, for me there are many different embarrassing things I can associate with Dragon Ball, both past and present. I can immediately think of four things right off the bat: 1. I still own all of my old third season and beyond DBZ tapes from back in the day. As early as last summer due to my extreme bo...

Screw you all. THIS IS the BEST OPENING: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuHo3hz0mG0 Ah, Harmony Gold's version. What I dislike about this version (and I'm probably not alone in thinking this) is that the majority of the song is sung, but completely gives out during the chorus. ...if anything, shoul...

I can't see him being able to do it, but would he really even want to? Piccolo Daimao's general ambition (at least the second time around) was to take over Earth and sort of enslave humanity while slowly wiping it out. I suppose you could argue that he could do it as a last resort, but if he outrigh...

I was thinking about picking up these DVD singles as well, since that seems to be the only way to own the series in 4:3 with the Japanese audio track (for the most part, minus the latter half of the Saiya-jin arc and the early Freeza arc). How expensive do these out-of-print releases usually go for ...

This US intro wins for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3Wy4eIe8Ug That one. I remember years ago around the time they first came out, I bought FUNimation's VHS tapes for the Bardock and Trunks specials, and popped in the Bardock special first. After the previews, this intro came up. In the firs...

Now now, we all know that the correct terminology for them are the RoboWarriors, with Cell being RoboWarrior 21. Usually I switch between Jinzoningen and Artificial Human when referring to them. I'm ashamed to admit though that sometimes I still occasionally do slip-up with the term Android, even th...

Of course, I'm hoping the announcement involves another DVD release of DBZ in 4:3 without the poor remastering job, but that's not going to happen. The first two things I thought of were the Jump special and Kai. Out of those, it seems more likely for FUNimation to have licensed the special at this ...

I'm not going to start a major campaign to release Dragonbox footage in the U.S., or redo the masters completely. Personally, I think that all they need to do is bring back the UUE sets to be released alongside these. I don't care how grainy the footage is really - it's from 1989 . In fact, I think ...

I'm not an expert on the subject by any means, but I don't think Toei would be too willing to hand their Dragonbox masters over to FUNimation, because...they're Toei, they do that. Funimation would still probably crop those so Gen can watch DBZ on his 145 inch HDTV. Wow, if FUNimation actually went ...

I completely agree with most of the comments in this thread against the boxset. Now, I haven't seen the original Japanese version, and I'll tell you all why - completionism (I know that's not a real word, but just go with me on this). I don't want to watch a set of episodes in Japanese starting from...
