YAY, Back of the Box!!

Also, here's the front again but with the Rsolution fixed (I downsized it but it was still 300dpi so Xbox Hueg filesize)

[double snip]

It should look a little better now too.
I was think it would be cool to have sapphire with silver glitter swirls on that box.

The Idea was to recreate the Exact same look as the FUNi box, not make my own...

I just thought it would be that cool. Maybe I should not have said my opinion in the first place, seeing that Daizex is a famous place to bash on people's opinion...

Sorry. It just that the folks here at Daizex have been looking down on me lately. I felt kind of defensive now.

God, I can't imagine how sickened everyone would be if Funi discontinued the Dragonboxes half way through because they found there wasn't a big enough market for them. Loads of people would have sold their Season sets or singles already...There'd be war.
That's why I'm only selling them as I go along (If I buy the DBOX). Like if I buy DBOX1 then I'll only sell Season 1 for the time being.

All I have to say is DAMN YOU FUNIMATION!!!! I spent who knows how much on these orange bricks and now you announce that you'll be releasing the dragon box sets. I would like to get the dragon box sets but I'm currently a college student and I'm on a really tight budget. I wouldn't mind selling my season sets. So does anyone know of any places that buy used dvd's? and I guess I can slowly start saving up so I can some day purchase them.

Okay, I combined DemonRin's images and cleaned up the Goku pic the FUNImation way - I did a Gaussian Blur and turned the saturation up :lol: :

I mainly blurred it just to experiment, not expecting good results, but then it came out really good so I just decided to use it.

EDIT: I tinkered with it a bit more, and here's the final version:

Might I ask: what font is that on the DragonBox? I'd like to use that in some of my future graphic design work.

Also, any chance of getting the HELL HAS FROZEN OVER version in 1680x1050?

Here's the different colors for Dragon Box, although I can't do Goku one because it's kinda too hard. I use Paint.Net

What... is the point of these? We already know the Color they're making it, they're gonna be Yellow.

It's called Haettenschweller or something like that...

I expect to get some negative feedback for what I'm about to say, but what the hell.


I think they should drop the Faulconer music audio track.


Flame me all you want, but its only purpose was placeholders because they weren't able to license the Japanese music.


The Season Sets have that track as an option, and I just think that something this geared toward hardcore fans should finally put the "US TV Broadcast" stuff to rest. Honestly, the fact that the first release of the Dragon Box is going to have 42 episodes instead of 39 like Season One, does that not lend credence to this idea that maybe they're dropping the US TV Broadcast audio track? More casual fans (which the Season Sets seem to be what are aimed toward, those who won't spend all that much on some DBZ DVDs) would be more inclined to watch the US TV Broadcast audio. As far as marketing goes, that would be a perfect thing to set the two releases apart.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. I aint going to listen to your tiresome talk any longer. At first, I thought you were a nice guy. But now you are just a jerk.

None taken. :D I'm not very good with converting the background color with a character in it. I tried to do the background color but the character can be in the way, ya know?

First, I'm a girl.
2nd, you used MY images, why am I not allowed to say something about them?

I'm just making comments, I'm not going "OH MY FUCKING GOD, WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?!? YOU FUCKING SUCK!!!"
You seem to be taking normal comments that I'm making and going uber-defensive on them for absolutely no reason.

Just because someone asks a question about why you did something doesn't mean they're attacking you and trying to make fun of you.

So stop playing the Victim. It's really stupid.

Alright, I made one last edit to the DBox pic:

And DBKaiHD, you're really sounding like Gokuden now.
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!
