Upcoming DragonBall Announcement: Speculation and Discussion

I'm willing to admit right now that my hope in a release of Z in 4:3 without the shoddy remastering (and on DVD rather than solely Blu-Ray to boot) is just a personal hope and belief in something that will likely never happen, at least not right now.

On a completely off-topic note, I've been seeing "day one" written a LOT lately on various forums. Is there some new internet meme I'm missing?

It's short for "day one purchase." Nothing funny or special about it.

My guesses are:

-DB Movie 1
-DB movies: double release format
-Anniversary Special
-Just a confirmation that they will eventually be doing Kai. Most likely SMEs planned for 2010.

"Stay tuned for more information regarding the series" does not imply that they'll be making any kind of significant announcement. At all. To me it just suggests that more specific information about these new DB box sets will become available.

But FUNimation did say that they want everything and anything Dragon Ball because "it prints frickin' money." So it could also be the JUMP special or the video game OVA that some fans want so bad. Either of those would be a-ok for me.

It could also be news for Dragon Ball Z on Blu-Ray. Or maybe news of a Kai dub. Kai doesn't seem very likely, though.

Most dubs usually don't start until the Japanese had a head start, take Brotherhood for example. FUNimation has the rights but they're not dubbing it as the Japanese aren't that far yet.

I'd expect a Kai dub possibly in 1 or 2 years.

Even though I don't think this is what it is, I think FUNimation needs to start putting Dragonball Z on Comcast On Demand. They already have their own section, and I know it would be a huge hit. Just my opinion.

I'd like Funi to air dbz on their TV channel. Even if its only once a day or once a week.

CN probably still has the rights though...even though they probably won't ever air it again on their network.

If I recall correctly, Funi WAS airing Dragonball on their channel for awhile. All I saw was episodes 1 - 13 and 21st Budoukai stuff.

Ah, I wouldn't know; I recently got their channel only a month or so ago. ^^;;

Good to know they would be capable of airing it though, and I hope they do in the future.

Thanks to the accessibility of digisubs though, this isn't exactly a reliable trend anymore. Note how lots of dubbing companies now offer same day/week downloadable subbed episodes. This is why I wouldn't be surprised if the released the series in Soccer Mom Editions first.

Thought this was interesting. On FUNi's Twitter, one person asked:

"Hey u guys got any DBZ projects in the works?"

then FUNi replied:

"Always. ;)"

Hmm. :?:

So are they planning on giving whatever new material they acquired a real release and not some gimmick treatment? It's really hard to get excited about anything that Toei and Funimation do nowadays cause it's so damn backwards.

Well yeah because FUNimation isnt going to say what they're working on so to answer that question without giving away any details
