I think you mean he dropped the S bomb. I've seen the dub entirely about three times and that is the worst language that has been in there. But, most of YYH is TV-PG, minus a couple episodes with stronger language and violence, so their rating is correct for most of the episodes. Though a TV-PG doesn't belong on Blue Gender, so that is true that their ratings aren't always accurate.Eddie wrote:Never trust the TV rating on a Funi DVD, anyway. They kinda just throw whatever the hell they want on there. The YYH dub comes to mind. They gave the sets a TV PG rating, despite the fact that one in every few lines has foul language, Yusuke's a little perv, and Chu drops the F bomb. No way in hell that you could air that on US television with that rating.

Chu drops the F bomb in episode 31. It can be difficult to hear his lines, due to his slurred speech, but he says, "Didn't you hear what the f*** she was saying?" I'm actually a bit surprised Funi hasn't gotten in trouble for slapping the TV PG logo on whatever the heck they want. Even DBZ movie 10 had that rating, and I've yet to see an actual televised PG broadcast feature a character flipping the bird or showing a babies penis during the end credits.kusakun004 wrote:I think you mean he dropped the S bomb.

Alright you wont compare it to a foreign release, but will you compare it to Funi's previous release?, because when you say in the review that there is rarely any details lost in the remastering process. Then we need some kind of comparison picture with Funi's Dragonball dvd releases. I think it's very important to show this. We should be able to see what was improved.godofchaos wrote:I'm not comparing the set to a release we may or may not get, nor a foreign release that had numerous video problems.
I review for what it is.
It's a Dragon Ball boxset. We have no news about a Dbox of it in the USA, so I'm not bringing it up, because it's not relevant to it.
And 96k isn't odd either. It's standard for Funi mono tracks on DVD, their 5.1 tracks are generally 448k, which averages to about 90 per channel.
You're trying to find issues that don't exist.
I have no problems with calling Funi on shit, and complaining about YOUR feelings on a dub when the Japanese track is there, uncut, with subtitles, is the worst kind of nitpicking.
I'm reviewing what there, is based on what I know, and what's available to the average person.
Going, 'oh shit, this sucks, cause there's a better release in Japan' doesn't do, or mean anything for the average person.
I love the Dragon Boxes as much as plenty of other people. This set is exactly what is demanded of Funi, so I'm not gonna knock them based on what may or may not happen.
The DB/Z/GT fan's wanted 4:3 footage, Japanese version subbed, and all the episodes in order.
I only bring up foreign/alternate releases of a show when there is an obvious, and notable problem in ours.
If it's not good enough, then go wait for the Dbox, it's not what I reviewed.
This is what we wanted, asked for, and demanded, at a great price.

That would be reserved for a review on DaizenshuuEX.That's why we need to know how it compares to the dragon box. If it is almost as good as the dragon box. Then people may buy it. But we need screen shots to show that. If there is too much detail lost, I don't think people will buy it. Or they won't buy it anyways, because the fact that Funi may release another dragon box for Dragonball.
"More uncut"? The dub is "uncut". "Uncut" doesn't mean tons of swearing has to be added in.And furthermore I wasn't asking you to nitpick. When I said is it more uncut. I just wanted to know whether or not they actually went and redubbed some lines to make the audio more uncut. I wanted to know if they changed anything. If they didn't then that is not necessarily a bad thing.
Read point no. 1.And also, did they change anything to improve the subtitles? Were they improved? Again, I'm not asking for a nitpick. I'm just asking for information. The whole point of your review, was I felt it was incomplete and I was not informed enough.
Uh... why the hell are you so cynical of FUNimation in every post you make? FUNimation isn't some huge group of evil schemers who are trying to rip you off in every way possible, they are a business.This part is not your fault. But Funimation should be informing their fan base whether or not they are going to release the dragon box for Dragonball. Otherwise I doubt people want to continue wasting their money, and then waiting longer and longer to buy more stuff. I mean we had the previous Dragonball dvd releases, then we have this release, and now a potential dragon box in the future. How much more money does Funimation want their fan base to waste? When they don't inform us what they are going to do next.
The uncut run of 1-67 has penises and middle fingers, I believe.Eddie wrote:Chu drops the F bomb in episode 31.

SSVegetto wrote: Also, did they redub the English audio for the first 13 episodes to sound more uncut? I noticed when watching the madman Australian dvds. The English dub is not even as uncut as the Japanese dub. Not the video, but the translations. You didn't tell us anything about the subtitles either. It leaves us with more questions.
For example: Roshi was talking about giving his undewear to Bulma. You never hear that in the English dub.
This question remains unanswered for us. All you did say was the dub was good. And you didn't provide examples?
I can't ask a question? What's wrong with you? Asking if a product has any redubbed any lines, or made or improved subtitles is perfectly applicable to have in a review.Metalwario64 wrote:Read point no. 1.And also, did they change anything to improve the subtitles?

It's quite obvious that you understand nothing about making business decisions, and that company's can't just announce everything at once like that.
They probably don't even know if a Dragon Ball Dragon Box is even a plausible business move yet; they will most likely wait and see how these sets, and the Z boxes sell before they even think about a Dragon Ball Dragon Box.
Putting words in my mouth again. Don't.SSVegetto wrote:I can't ask a question?
Actually, it was episode 30. Furthermore, he says, "Didn't you hear the the foxy was saying!?" He calls her Foxy all the time, considering she's a fox demon. Checked the subtitles too, s'what he says.Eddie wrote:Chu drops the F bomb in episode 31.
