I'd say the Steel case movies, as I also plan to dish out some money on DBZ movies.
Erm... what are alternate angles? I only the know the mathematics meaning for alternate angles, where, if more then one angle makes a ''Z'' shape, the inner angles of the ''Z'' are the same.

Lol. Alternate video angles. So, if you select Japanese audio, it will switch to the unedited video, but if you select the English audio, it sets it to the video track with replaced title cards and ending. FUNimation doesn't do alternate angles anymore, which is a real problem for the Dragon Ball series. The reason being that newer shows get translations of the Japanese episode/movie titles and credits, while Dragon Ball gets FUNi's own made up titles, and their replacement credits. Also, in a mostly unrelated note, they can't seem to get the the Japanese names right. They continuously mis-credit Chiho Kiyooka as "Chiho Kikuchi". :/

The problem is not the fact that they edited it with just the translation. Its the fact that is translated poorly or done wrong.

As long as all the information is there, correctly translated, with the original backgrounds, images and soundtrack, there is no need for alternate angles at all.

I've got the "Wrath of the Dragon" and "Fusion Reborn" double feature and it looks good. On the back it says region 1, 2, 4 so it should work with USA & UK DVD players. However, it won't work in my UK player, I had to hook my TV up to my laptop to play it, so I'd be careful if you're in Europe as we're region 2 so it (theoretically) should play, but doesn't.

If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure :)

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)

I still prefer the single releases. I want that precious %20 of picture on the top and bottom that the Double Features crop out, but then again I am a stickler for that sort of thing. Best case scenario is I'm waiting for a domestic release of Dragon Box: The Movies.

I can't believe this is on-topic.

But...you'd still be getting cropped footage. The Dragon Boxes crop the movies, too. Just not the show.

Yeah, I kind of realized that after I posted but my brother was on the computer. Either way I've got the single releases. Just curious though, are the TV specials cropped in the Dragon Box the way they are in the Double Feature?

The Cooler one is now unavailable unless you go with a Blu-ray, though, so people can't get the whole collection. I'm missing the Cooler one.
