Cropping wouldn't be so bad if it gave me earthshattering orgasms.

Hrm, where are you guys getting 6 seasons from? The current set certainly isn't based on any sort of season system from broadcast, it's just labeled as a "Season One" set, prolly so it looks comparable to other DVD sets on the market right now.

So let's look at it logically. There's 291 episodes in Dragonball Z. If the releases are gonna be somewhat similar in terms of episode count, we can divide that by 39, the current "Season One" box number. That comes out to 7.46, so you'd need at LEAST 8 releases to hold all the episodes. Add in moving episodes around to make better cut-off points for the boxes, and that's 9 releases easy. Funi could stretch it to 10, but I'd put my money on 9 sets being planned.

Or the final two sets could be the DBZ movies and TV specials.

Anyways, I bought my set last night, and I'm loving this so far.

An episode of the 80's TMNT + an episode of DBZ remastered = the best way to end a long day.

I just got mine today and since I grew up on the dub I'm pretty much going to watch that and maybe some of the Japanese episodes. But the color is much better and the packaging is pretty good, it's about the same as much TV Show Boxed Sets that are out there today. Now I need to wait for Videouniverse.com to have a cheap pre-order for Season 2.

It's possible, though they seem to have the movies still committed to same format as always, occassionally packaging them together. It's certainly possible they'll include the TV specials, though, if they're not planning to re-release them some other way, like if they do a seperate "movies" release after they finish DBZ.

"Newly revised english dialogue?"

Have they changed anything that was said in the UUE's?

So far I have heard no changes. I was hoping for some lines (see my previous post) would be changed.

And I really hope that for the Ginyu saga and onward they change the lines not just the VA's because most of the script is just painful.

Jappo, your name sounds an awful like the racist term "Jap". Considering this forum often dwells heavily into japanese culture, it is very easy to connect the two. But whatever the reason of your name, your posts are still very provoking and often demanding.

Hasn't it already been mentioned here on the forums that if you have a problem with someone, then you should simply PM that member and discuss it privately?

We've just gotten back on topic afterall, let's stop this.

How many times do I have to say to email billgates@microsoft.com if you have a problem with me.

That or PM me.

You look like a jackass when you try to find fault in everything I say or do in a forum.

Someone wanted to know if Wal-Mart had it?

Yes they do, but at mine they were sold out. They were restocking things as I was walking around looking at other movies, but I didn't ask if they were getting more.

So by my assumption, if they carry it, it's either limited, or sold-out altogether.

Oh, it's $29.99

This thread has gone waaay off-topic.

However I guess that is expected after nearly 900 posts.

Any thoughts?

You're right. Cropping an orgasm is bad.

Can we please get back on topic.

Shouldn't we have any reviews or more video clips by now?

Here's a clip:

I can assure you that the wide screen is my only issue with the set. For now, I'll wait & see what comes up in the future before making any decision.

So I finally caved in and bought the set today at best buy along with getting FFVI advance (best rpg ever!). I watched it for 5 minutes and was almost ready to return it.

Then I started watching a bit more and the set's starting to grow on me a bit. The saving grace is definitely the dub with the japanese music. I'm not a soundphile but the japanese score sounds really nice in 5.1 and this is definitely the dub that we should have gotten in 1996.

Everything's pretty much been said about the video and widescreen. I can probably swallow this set easier since I have the R2 singles for any video related stuff I want to do so owning this set is a novelty. However, I still feel sad for the people who are being duped into believing the widescreen is the "true" way to see dbz. So I hope FUNi considers the full screen possibility after our letter writing effort.

So why exactly did you buy it? I thought you weren't going to in protest.

I've never seen this scene before. Where's the blood when she shot herself?

Seems to me you'd bleed if you did... lol

I just walked past the anime aisle at best buy and couldn't resist.

This also happened with the first ultimate uncut after telling myself I wouldn't buy it.

The clip on Youtube looks horrible. I compared this scene with the Dragonbox one from Japan. And the colours are way off. The screen is stretched, goku looks thinner in the Funi clip. And of course the cropping, it's horrible. I don't know how you guys can buy this piece of crap. And you guys call yourself DBZ fans. just buy the dragonbox or don't buy anything at all. If you buy Funi's crap, your just supporting them to make more crap.
