Oh come on, France and Norway, my native countries, have both very poor Dragonball products. So stop your whining.

When is Funi going to realize that so many other countries are making their releases look like the crap that they are?

Anyway, these Italian DVDs look totally awesome, DBZ the way it was meant to be seen! :) The only thing that I found a little strange was the fact that they had a picture of Goku in normal form and in SSj and SSj3 form on the menu even though they are very far from getting to those episodes.

When I first saw this screenshot I had to look twice because I thought I had jumped onto a season six discussion! http://img144.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... an3bf8.png

Yep. That also counts fo Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Portugal, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg etc.
Actually only Spain and (now) Italy have good DB DVD releases (except Japan of course). ;)

I agree. And at this rate of getting a little bit better each time they should be forced to release a nearly perfect release by 2028! :wink:

That's why I'm buying my season sets used. When the D-Boxes eventually come out here, I'll not have oiled the machine.

I agree with you Stan. The Italian dub is great. In my opinion, it's the best European dub and I believe it's also the first (so it's not based on the French dub, hooray!!!).
Furthermore, it's one of the 3.5 (Italian, Latino, Hebrew and partly the Ocean dub) DBZ dubs worldwide, which I can watch without a fit of rage. ^^

They got the next episode previews... :(
Damn it FUNi, redeem yourselves! The Italians are lucky, the previews were taken out of the Spanish DVDs after a couple volumes unfortunately.

I have to say, the Italian dub is my favorite out of all of the foreign dubs I have heard. It is pretty similar to the Japanese dub and has a pretty similar style to it. This video compares the two, the audio syncing is pretty bad but it's a nice comparison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAWlo2s0iHw

Gogeta sounds like a stone cold badass in the Italian version, for sure. I kinda liked the voices. I could see myself watching that version, if I knew the language.

Here's the Italian dub for the Dragonball opening. Kind of an interesting theme, but it sounds a little corny for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0zXkIXb ... re=related

Here's the Italian dub for the Dragonball GT opening. It sure is better than Funi's rap, but I still say that Dan Dan is the best GT opening by far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5FOohpQjrA

The italian's one it's taked from Japanese version with japanese's lines ! :lol:
Apart Piccolo's mistaked name, it's changed in to Junior because Piccolo in Italian language take the mean of "small" !
I like the name "Junior" for Piccolo, after all ...

Hey !
That's my video ! :lol:

I love the Gogeta's italian voice !
Fat Gogeta Says: "We are going to send you in the hell! Prepare it, monster!"
I don't know what says the japanese line, who can translate it ?

I prefer the italian opening for the first Dragon Ball !
For the GT, i prefer the Japanese's one (But i don't like their lyrics) !

Italy, usually, don't translates japanese's opening, or they make a new opening for the toon, or they uses the original japanese opening ...

First volume costs: €3.99
The rest: €8.99 (48 volumes)

Around €435 in total, ouch.. DeAgostini is not cheap, never was now that I think of it.
FUNimation 2015 Releases I want:
- Kai 2.0 on Blu-ray
