Maybe I'm just used to super loud sound effects. Either way, can't wait for part 2's release :)

I noticed that, like the French release, this set contains the little title card intro before the theme song. These were not included on previous sets from Funimation, but can anyone tell me if they were intact on the previous French BDs/DVDs of episodes 1-98? They were included on the Japanese sets, and here they are for reference: intro title card A, intro title card B
aka TheMilkmanConspiracy on IFDB
aka WhereIsTheMilkman elsewhere

Well, it looks like there won't be any early shipping from RightStuf this time around. I just canceled my order with them. At this point it won't even arrive until after release day. I can run to my local Best Buy and pick it up on Tuesday for $10 cheaper. Without the early arrival there really isn't any incentive to pay RightStuf's price. I still have my order for Part 3 and Super Part 1 with them. Guess we'll see what happens with them.

Odd as mine is on its way from them now. I will likely get it tomorrow or Monday.

That is weird. It still shows up as preorder, not yet shipping and my order was still pending fulfillment. Are you a member of their Got Anime club? I believe members get priority when it comes to shipping order.

Nope, just a regular customer. I actually got it in the mail today.

Also I noticed that on these episodes they credit Alexis Tipton as Trunks when it's clearly Laura Bailey.

Considering FUNi gets the drawings from Toei, the redrawn figures were most likely in the materials Toei gave to FUNi to use, it seems the packaging design people took some inspiration from them.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

Don't have the set myself, but I believe it ends just after Buu enters the RoSaT.

How is the new Super Buu voice? I heard Cook changed it for Kai. And good thing too, because his voice in the Xenoverse games is bad.

You can actually hear a snippet of Super Buu's voice in the Part 3 trailer FUNi released https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YO3BDyuIwc.

Looks good. Planning to head over to Walmart when I get off work at 1:00am to pick it up.

That's not really enough but it sounds alright to me. I loved his Z voice (especially for Buuhan / Gohan Buu) so hoping that is similar.

Yeah. I appreciated the subtlety he put into the performance, with it starting out more visceral, then gaining more bravado as he absorbed people. When he absorbed Gohan, I liked the articulation he gained, showing it was a bit more than his power that he absorbed.

Exactly, that's what I loved about it too!

Well, until people start uploading clips to YouTube, some will have to wait to assess the voice for themselves. Pity.
