Let's leave the "Jap" discussion for another time. I like having this thread open.

Do you think FUNimation will try to get the second box set out by December? That's when Revenge of King Piccolo comes out in the states, and they could do a package deal like they did with Burst Limit. Either the DVDs come with a trailer for the game, or the game comes with a bonus of the first disc from Season 2.

Seriously. We should all just shut the fuck up and stop worrying about how morally proper or PC people's posts are.

Anyway, back on topic, I just hope Funi won't spread these out for a long time. probably every couple of months, like how they did with the GT sets.

Topic time!

I think we may get season 2 by the end of the year. Releasing anything for a popular series during the holiday season is never a bad idea. Regardless, we know when season 1 will arrive. That's enough to make me happy for now.

Well, I thought my topic was pretty good. But let's do this one instead.

I bet they'll release all five seasons before 2010 rolls around. That seems to make the most sense.

Your topic was fine. I was reffering to that one from earlier. I'm on a PSP, so it takes a while to post. Your topic wasn't there when I began typing.

You expect them to release one in September, October, November, and two in December?

I figure that well see the final set released in either May or June of '10, based on the GT schedule. Though, if they drag it out a little more like with Z, it could be as late as December '10.

Yeah, there's no way that they'll be done by the end of this year. They'll probably release one very three months or so, I'm guessing.

If we're really lucky, a bimonthly release may happen.

I can see them doing quarterly releases because it is DragonBall. Which wasn't the hottest of the three in the US.

How often were the other bricks released? I wasn't really following them.

Nope, I was trying to say something crazy to get people worked up over something that's actually on topic.

Ding dong! Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages. We are finally getting remastered Dragon Ball in 4:3 ratio! Time is near!

Any word on title cards and alternate angles yet, by any chance?

I dont think we will know until one of us buy the set.

I doubt Funi cares enough about that to mention it in an announcement or a press release.

DragonBalllKaiHD · Post by **DragonBalllKaiHD** » Tue Jul 14, 2009 8:57 pm

It has been bugging me for a while. If I may ask, what the heck are the alternate angles?

Well, FUNimation stopped using them on all releases except the DBZ sets by the beginning of last year, so I'd say our chances are very, very low. We could always hope for properly translated credits though, or at least the opening theme's credits being translated, like in GT.

The opening titles are hit and miss in English if I recall correctly. As for English credits, the extras on the listings say "textless credits" - so we get at least either the opening or the ending creditless. I'm guessing the ending, since the opening (at least in all previous releases) had no credits.
