Yikes! But let's not jump to any conclusions just yet.
The flashbacks always look pretty bad, so hopefully those aren't indications.

Yeah especially since Season One flashbacks in later sets looked even worse than in Season One.

So does anybody know what might have taken place in order for FUNi to begin distributing them on their own? License expire? Did they buy the license? Are they distributing the first set in conjunction with Lionsgate?

We do not know.

When I first calculated the amount of episode it seems will be in this set (32), I thought they must be starting at fourteen, but even that stops at about the mid-Red Ribbon Army Arc. Then again, episode 46 is exactly where the run of filler ends, and the "General Blue Saga" begins, so I'm guessing they releasing this season starting with the "Tournament Saga".

I wouldn't count on that runtime to be accurate. Most of the other info looks off. Besides, who knows if they count things like having the OP and ED on the discs 30-odd times.

Oh crap, not widescreen again. Please be a listing error.

Well, I just got both of the madman fatpacks, so I don't know if I'll get these or not. If there's something that makes it worth it, then I might consider it.

I still need to replace 1 broken disk in my sets though.

For the love of God please make this be true! My Z and GT seasons are oh so lonely!

What else looks off? And the run-time FUNimation provides for all of its other season sets seem consistent with the [runtime/23=episodes] ratio.

Rating = TV-14, only language is Japanese, and (here's hoping this is wrong) widescreen. Think I saw a typo in the description, too.

Holy effing shit. If this is real (fingers crossed for some inaccurate information) then I will lose it. I have been dying to watch all of Dragon Ball since I only got as far as Muscle Tower. This would make my life, not day, life. Then I can really own it all.

Please FUNimation, don't let me down by it being in widescreen and not including episodes 1-13.

...also re-release DB movie 1 >.>

I can't describe how awesome this would be if it's a real release.

I'm going to wet my diaper.

AnimeNext is this weekend. If FUNimation has a booth... thingy, I can ask whats up with this. They probley will have no idea what I'am talking about but hey, it's worth a shot.

Definitely go for it, Tanooki. Any sort of confirmation on this thing would be amazing, especially if they could give us some solid info on the product.

Do you think this might be a leak of some sort? I mean, getting this info just days before a con where this information might be validated?

Well this kinda thing happened once before with "The First Strike" DVD box set. I asked when will movies 1,2 and 3 be re-dubbed and they actually gave me a date but by the time I got home to tell the world, the listings were popping up on Amazon and other sites. So it's possible but I guess we'll see.

This could only make sence if each disc was chop full of extra's and goodies about each special. But we all know that won't be the case so... what the fuck?

Ah, such is FUNimation...

Note the freakishly low price. This is just leftovers of the DVDs released prior to the two-packs.

But it's widescreen...

If they release this but not the Saga of Goku, there will be hell to pay.

Big Momma · Post by **Big Momma** » Wed Jun 10, 2009 10:55 pm

For the TV-14 thing, isn't Dragon Ball a little bit more heavy with the sexual-humor than DBZ?

I haven't really seen much of the Dragon Ball anime, so I'm not sure: Do they actually show Bulma's breasts in those parts?

Yes, quite often actually.

There's only one time in the series where you can actually see everything: the invisible man fight. And it's only for one or two frames. Every other time she's nude they're obscured by something (Bubbles, stars, etc.)
