I agree with FG. I also own all 26 DBZ Vols.and 6 DB Vols. It's just that I want to see Dragonball in it's original form. And who cares about Bulma's boobs? I didn't know that they were in there.

As far as I know there is only a few pictures that VIZ might edit. There's these pictures (minus the first one, but you never know when it comes to VIZ), a middle finger or two and the name Hercule. I don't own the original copy so I don't know if there's anything else, but since I'm pretty sure that there isn't I think that the thing we need to worry about the most if VIZ mis-translating some of the information.

His assuming of our behavior's, when it comes to boobs, is only ignorance.

Anyway, I'll probably pick up this "Complete Illustrations."

Since that and the middle fingers are so easy to edit out I'm pretty sure VIZ won't miss the opportunity to make a 2 minute edit for both of those. :?

Yeah, as I said before: Bulma's 34-C breasts aren't my concern when it comes to this book. And for the sake of the beautiful pictures, I'll buy it as well. I just hope that they release all 7.

I know. The two extra Cardass Perfect Files, and the TV Animation 3.

The Cardass DBZ cards (Daizenshuu 8 and 9) where never a very big hit in America so I doubt they'll release those over hear, but it wouldn't hurt. As for the tenth Daizenshuu, I bet VIZ will only release it if they release 8 and 9 too, so probably not...they usually just release the most popular stuff (which sadly is why we don't have Neko Majin).

With the news of VIZ's additional Dragonball manga re-releases that was posted earlier today, I started to wonder if the VIZ Daizenshuu will see any re-releases, which helps the chances of a hardcover release! :D

What's the point in re-releasing the manga AGAIN? They've done this more than 8 times, right?

Well, the picture with little kids firing guns might be deemed a little risque.
Also, I didn't know this one had Toriyama interviews, too. Looking forward to reading them.
There's actually only one interview (not that that's bad or anything).

Do you own all of the Daizenshuu?

EDIT: YES! 520th post! Now I'm a regular! :D

Well, the tenth one goes with the other two animation guides, 3 and 5, so Viz would probably release it if they did the other two. Although considering the somewhat odd way the series is split up between the three anime guides (3 covers all of DragonBall and Z up until Ginyu, 5 covers Freeza to the birth of Vegetto, and 10 covers Vegetto vs. Buu to the end of Z), I think if they ever were released in English they'd be substantially reformatted. Perhaps 10 would be absorbed into 5, or they'd make one book for DragonBall and one for all of Z.

All but 8, the first Carddass one.

I think 500 posts is the trigger for becoming a reguler, not 520.

Yeah, I'm calling maybe...This is America!
I think they have that image in Landmark: Forever.
Is it the picture with Gohan drive a car and Trunks and Goten are firing guns?

Yeah, that's the one. Those two books reprint some of the artwork from Daizenshuu 1.

Argh, that's right. 8 is the one I don't have. I guess I'd better go to bed...

I really hope that VIZ doesn't start combining and breaking apart their releases of the Daizenshuu. Even though it may be more logical that way, I'd rather have them presented the same way they were presented in Japan...that and I don't trust VIZ to do it properly. :wink:

I don't think they'll split up the daizenshuu. They released all of Dragonball and Dragonball Z in proper fashion.

And then they released it in tiny chopped up monthly comics, then a brief run of "slightly bigger than your average tankoubon" tankoubons, then combined VIZ Big editions, then combined collector editions and now tiny chapter editions...again. So 6 different formats (to my knowledge), so I wouldn't be surprised if these Daizenshuu translations get a few re-releases, maybe some with different chopped up and combined formats.
