Absolutely! I have to leave for work soon. I'll be annoying the hell out of my coworkers with my Dragon Box talk.

It was more "at the same time". Plus we didn't know how crap Sins was then.

The Dragon Boxes are indeed OVER 9000!!!!
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!

. . . yeeeaaah, I kinda didn't mention that. I was, uh . . . kinda stalking FUNimation's channel for the video to appear so that I could be the one to give it, so I posted it as quickly as I could when I was sure that it was the right one. ^^;

I don't even like Sabat's Vegeta and the trailer had me fucking excited.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

It really took a lot of guts for that rep (and FUNimation in general) to stand up in front of a huge audience at the largest anime convention on the East Coast and basically admit 'Yes, we screwed up'.

FUNimation has gained huge amounts of respect in my book.

All that other stuff is irrelevant. It won't sell anyway.

I'm still waiting for Corey to give his thoughts about this :)

I wouldn't expect much. He did the right thing for the time.

This thread is hilarious. Thanks Funi.

It'll be a while before I can afford these.. I'll probably stick with the Saiyan-Namek sagas. Maybe a few of the movies too.

Corey is a hero. So is everybody who whined, moaned, bitched, and groaned about FUNimation and their DVD releases. I applaud those of you who stood your ground and didn't get the season sets. I am happy that people bought the Dragon Boxes from Japan. Way to go guys, you made this possible.


Now, I need to sell my DVDs.

Omg, I never thought this would happen. Now hopefully it won't take ten years to release these.
GT is underrated and the International Channel will always be my favorite channel for foreign programming. I still miss it.
