Probably because it was resized oddly. That leads to all the aliasing you're pointing out.

I agree. I think we had a similar problem when previous box arts were first revealed, but when they came out on DVD they were fine.

Not as bad as SSJ4 Goku on the GT cover, who doesn't even appear in that part of the series.

And for GT Season 2, SSJ4 Gogeta appears in a grand total of one episode.

You'd best hope Rocketman avoids this thread.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

I thought the GT box went to episode 34? Goku does become SSJ4 at the very end of that episode.

More of a silhouette of SSJ4 Goku.

Okay, I just went to the end of DBGT34 and you see a hunched over SSJ4 Goku with electricity surrounding him.

I guess they didn't want to give away who the villan was.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

I think the fusion of two rivals is more shocking than a new form of a villain. Besides, they showed us an unseen villain for both the Season 4 and Season 6.

Oh. I meant the seasons with Freeza and Cell (final forms) on them.

Seriously, it looks really good. Especially with my stardards for FUNimation.

Now anyone wanna bet that the final box will have SSJ3 Goku on it and not Kid Buu? I'll come back to this post when the time comes :lol:

Looks great.

(even though it's too late to whine about it..) .. Poor Gohan and Buu. Why exclude them? Why?! ...FUCK! *smashes things.

If only:
Season 6 - Gohan
Season 8 - Buu (any pink form)

The art is okay, but I'll never get over the horrible layout of the box design, I can't fathom how anyone with any sense of design would let the title "column" crop the artwork, it makes the boxes look incredibly cheap.

Anyway, it will be nice to see these things finally end.
