Yeah, I pretty much figured I was done with DBZ releases for good. I'm glad I was wrong.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

I find it a bit strange how FUNi's DB/Z/GT websites are offline...and then this was announced.

An interesting thought: Will the upcoming DB Season Sets use the Dragon Box footage or something similar?

I mean, the announcement of those and now these DBZ Dragon Boxes both came in pretty close. I wonder if they just got the DBox masters for both series...
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

Wouldn't they use the Dragon Box packaging though?

I am very pissed that I spent almost $300 on the orange bricks only for FUNi to announce that they will be releasing the Dragon Boxes. Oh well MovieStop here I come with the orange bricks to sell.

I don't think so, but I wouldn't be at all surprised by some English equivalent. Although, I thought those were released with the singles . . .

I wouldn't think so. The Dragonboxes did have figures that came with them.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

2009, best year of Dragon Ball, ever.

I'm glad I only bought the first season set. But this makes me think, will they release GT and DB Dragon Box singles as well? If so, is it worth it to get the new Dragon Ball Season Set?

Also, I'm glad to see Funimation has turned over a new leaf.

For me and the rest of the hardcore Dragon Ball fans out there, let's all listen to a song to put our emotions into music:

Yeah, of course God couldn't care less about this. He obviously imported the Japanese Dragonboxes back in the day.

So yeah, I got my 'box already, and don't care too much about this, but good for you guys, I guess.

After Geeko and the constant cropping debates, I doubt anyone thought they'd say this. And then we get Dragon Box. This day is crazy, and I like it! :)

I looks like I picked just about the right time to start being a hardcore fan. Can't wait for this.

FUNi's Twitter: "So yeah! Are we excited or what? Casshern Sins, Eden of the East and the Dragon Box!"

Had it been the original Casshern series, I'd be excited too, FUNi. Don't start at the crap end of the franchise.
