The Movies box was definately my favorite. I think that's why I'm more excited for that than any other one. Maybe GT. That had a pretty box, too. :)

I really hope they release everything in the Dragonbox format here in the US.

Probably just because FUNi hasn't got around to dubbing (or re-dubbing) the three Dragon Ball movies.

So I found a pretty interesting video of your typical dub fan talking about the Dragon Box announcement, just thought it would be fun to share.

Also check out his thoughts on Kai. He needs to be informed a little. :D

I saw this yesterday and couldn't stop laughing.
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!

I stopped when he started going on about "These are even gunna be MOAR REMASTERED! Like... like an HD remaster! They removed MOAR of the grain, only not as much as Kai"

Then I left a semi typical Youtube comment. :P

Thanks for the warning. I won't even listen to it. Shit if Opera was working for Youtube I probably would have blasted his ass.

Edit: I'm looking on his back shelf and I see those Naruto sets. It's amazing he has those in the correct format but isn't excited to get DBZ in the correct format.

The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Yeah, that was the point where I realized not to take him seriously.

So, after listening to the podcast, it seems that FUNimation won't likely run out of disc space at six discs. That's good to know.

Yet all of the holier-than-thou tech guys who swear they know what they're talking about on Anime On DVD forums keep saying otherwise and that Funi still sucks at encoding despite the constant screencaps I've been showing of recent screencaps with no macroblocking. Oh well. They definitely know what they're talking about, so we're all wrong.

...I couldn't finish watching that. Honestly though, the opinions of one misinformed fan won't really change much in the grand scheme of things. FUNimation knows people are super-excited over this, they know that we love them for doing this, and they know that droves of people are planning on buying it.

Somebody should link him to this forum so we can inform him.

Seems like a good idea. Gaining another person that's more well-informed on this sort of thing never hurts.

I already sent him a link to the new feature Mike put up as well as a link to the podcast so he can listen if he doesn't care to read that much. And yeah, I did it politely. Sure I wanted to get on his case, but really, this is just some casual guy who likes anime to an extent. We all have to start somewhere and I know I was pretty dumb at his age :p

Oh no, it was the way he said it and the inflection in his voice that I found humorous, not what was actually said. He was completely correct in his assertation; that trailer was certainly gay.

Don't lie - this would be a badass boxart for volume 3 (thanks to Kanzentai for the Goku image pic):

Anyone care to add the text?
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!
