Okay, I changed the Goku image to the one I originally made before I got overzealous with the edits, since it looked closer to Kanzentai's image:

EDIT: Wow, the trailer looks great for SD YouTube quality.
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!

Son of a bitch. I was hoping they change it up a little bit.

Regardless, that footage looks pretty damn good!

AWESOME

Looks like that's exactly what you wanted to edit it out for?

God, the image quality looks gorgeous even on youtube.

And yeah, the trailer itself really is shit.

I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

They need to learn to put up HQ versions of their trailers. But yah, it is gorgeous even on shitty YT. I hope they put a full quality version on their site soon.

Well even though it's just a YouTube clip, it really does look like gorgeous footage.

Maybe we're all worrying over nothing, perhaps this set really will be encoded well somehow. Of course the seventh disc probably still wouldn't hurt, and that may not necessarily be footage taken from their own release of it.

EDIT: Now let's all laugh at the usage of the adjective 'gorgeous' thrice in a row.

I think that's mainly because of all of the glowing and shit. When they release a clear image it will probably look like the one that I originally blurred.

I wonder if Funimation will put another character per boxset? The first one is Goku. What next character will it be? Hmm.. Kinda like Season set pattern.

I figure that they'll use Freeza. There is only so much Z boxset, original artwork to use, so they might as well finish using what they had from the first box.

The trailer does look a lot better then the convention clip. Though I'd like to ask are the colors the same as the Dragon Box? When I saw the trailer the sky in the Goku and Vegeta fight didn't look as green as it did on the Dragon Box screenhots. So is it because it's Youtube quality or did Funimation just use a placement for the trailer only?

I'm planning to get the set after I hear what others have to say about it in November.

I'm thinking Freeza, since that was on the Dragon Box artwork in Japan:

Can't wait to get a look at the disc art. Hopefully a different character on each disc. Is it typical to show the disc art before the DVDs are made available?

It is corny, but it does get your attention. That corse, loud voice is a real attention grabber. Plus, the "Over 9000!" bit got a chuckle out of me the first time

It won't be wrong like the season sets.

Even with Sabat's Vegeta, I still love this trailer. But for the record, I'll ignore the garbage comments. Youtube's users are mostly retards.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.
