Call me a dick, but I'd like consistancy in my DVD collection, and shit, if some of its cropped, it may aswel all be cropped.
I was thinking along similar lines, but at the same time if they only crop one series and leave the other two alone, they might go back and fix it later for consistency's sake. So, if GT and DB and un-cropped then maybe they'll eventually go back and fix DBZ.
Gah, that'd be great, but it would screw over those who bought the original sets that wanted the 4:3. I would love to get it uncropped, yet i don't wanna waste so much money for it again.

I think that if they cared about screwing people over that they'd have finished the Ultimate Uncut Edition before moving onto the Widescreen sets.

Of course, now that I think about it, if they really don't care about screwing people over then they're not going to release a 4:3 DBZ for consistency's sake. Instead it's just kind of a "your problem, not mine" sort of thing from them.

As long as Dragonball makes money in the US, I'll look foward to another release.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Actually, I own the final single volume of FUNi's
GT, and in the "textless songs" section, there are creditless versions of both
GT opening animation 2 and ending 4. I would assume FUNi has creditless versions of endings 2 and 3 as well. We should be fine in that area.
Really? I thought the only textless song they had in GT was the first opening, seeing how that was the only one included on the first "Lost Episodes"-volumes. Also, I heard that the DragonBox only had creditless versions of opening and ending 1, so I just assumed that was all that was available.

No there aren't.
The only textless songs of GT are the first version of the opening and the first ending (Hitori Ja Nai).

Bwah?
*checks DVD*
Wow, I feel low. I knew I should have actually checked my disc instead of going off my (
less than dependable) memory. My bad.

Hey, can I ask what alternate angels are?
Also this is very good news, I hope they do Dragonball also. I'll finally be able to complete my collection. Then after that I'll start worrying about the Manga.

It's okay
Anyway, a textless version of both songs
must exist or at least have existed since the italian opening uses some footage from them.

It's a DVD functionnality that allows you to chose between different video streams without changing the audio. In the case of the GT DVDs, you can chose between Japanese or English credits.

What about people wanting to buy One Piece, Shin-chan seasons 1 part 2 and Yu Yu Hakusho season 2?

Shin-chan's been given the same treatment as DBZ in fact, it has three English Dubs just like it, and I'd rather have the first set of voices to be honest.

Although I like the Funimation dub for some points, Chuck Huber mainly, and Chris Sabat's characters on occasion.
God, could you imagine them doing every show like the 3rd Shin-chan dub? Everything would have been an "The Abridged Series".

My guess for the DBGT sets is that it's going to be 2 seasons. 32 episodes a piece and the second season having the TV-Special.
