Dude that's a no brainer.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Do you really have to talk down to me like that? There are more "hardcore fans" than just you guys. Dub fans also have opinions too, you know.
No. I don't have to, but I'm just in one of those moods where I just can't sit around and watch people complain and, as I said before, rain on our parade. I've been waiting at least a decade for something like this while the rest of my friends have been satisfied many times over already. I finally get something for me and I'm not really in the mood to put up with everyone I've had to watch be happy all this time suddenly act like they're getting ripped off.
I'm not raining on your parade. I'm just saying they should include something for us too. Again, this isn't only about subbies.

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!

Are you kidding I hope that "XTREME" music is back on the menus....seriously though I'll be glad when I never have to hear that sorry excuse for music again. That HARDCORE X-TREME shit pretty much channels dub DBZ in its entirety and I want no part of it. :lol:

There is! Remember? I told you that there's likely another dub on there and you snapped at me like, "I know, dude!" and then got all mad because you might not get two dubs and two different music tracks for our one dub with one music track that we want.

EDIT: And, I really don't mean to be mean about this one but, this time it may just be about sub fans. There's gonna be a dub on there, but this one is marketed at the Japanese fans.

You guys are acting like this is the first time you've ever gotten the Japanese version. EVERY FREAKING DVD before this had the Japanese version.

Well okay I will take that part. If it's going to annoy me all to hell it may as well be good for a laugh.

The first release was never completed and the second release was in 16:9 with a pretty bad first 100 episodes of video quality. We haven't gotten what we wanted yet.

I'm aware, that'd be shit marketing. But it's what they're trying to get across, as it's usually fans of the original who crave the Dragon Boxes, a large majority of the dub fanbase don't even know what a Dragon Box is. If you're a fan of the dub, and have the Season Sets, there's really no reason to buy these, unless you REALLY have a stiffy for 4:3 (and brilliant consistant quality).
jjgp1112 wrote: Plus, THE JAPANESE VERSION IS ALREADY ON THE FRICKIN SEASON SETS. Technically, with that logic, we BOTH have our releases.
Not quite, the Japanese track is painful to listen to sometimes, ranging from ok to unbearable.
jjgp1112 wrote:WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR THEM TO GIVE US OPTIONS
You've got'em already, as I say, if you've completed your collection, and FUNimation's Season Sets are still (and most likely will remain) in print.

I don't see how these problems are unique to Japanese fans only.

ell congratulations. But dub fans should be able to get what they want too: to be able to have the option to watch it with two BGM options.

Not in 16:9

Not in 100 episodes of shitty quality.

See? We have certain needs too.

Wait... DUBBIES are calling unfair on this?

Ok, I'm sorry, but I have to say this.

WELCOME TO OUR LIVES FOR THE PAST 13 YEARS!!

Seriously.

For 13 Years FUNimation has done release after release that has catered primarily to the English Dub Fanbase, every time they did something that Pissed off those of us who like the Japanese version.

First - Pioneer Dub-Only DVDs (This one speaks for itself...)
Second - FUNi singles (Missing the first 66 Episodes in English... If you were a dub fan, you had to watch the Ocean dub for the first 2 Sagas, but you had the whole series)
Third - Ultimate Uncuts (Canceled Halfway through ONE season...)
Fourth - The Season Sets (a Dub Fan's DREAM, Includes the ENTIRE series, in a consistent format, with TWO dub tracks, one with Original Japanese Music, one with The Faulconer Score)

Even if this set DIDN'T include the English version. Oh well, go buy the bricks.

Seriously. If this Pisses you off, well sorry. Suck it up and deal with it like we did for 13 years.
Plus, I highly doubt FUNi will be discontinuing the Orange Bricks. But these sets have the JAPANESE version as default for a reason. It tells me by "Hardcore" they meant "Sub-Fans" So just because BOTH dub tracks aren't present, doesn't mean they're somehow kicking your Dog. Go buy the Orange Bricks and be happy with your version.

Now, tell me this. What power do you think I have that arguing it with me might make two BGM options happen?

From what I've gathered
He hates the English BGM for the first 2 seasons because it's not Faulconer, so he wants the Japanese BGM for those episodes, but he wants to be able to switch to the Fulconer BGMs come Season 3.
Am I right?
