The sva files are timed, and can't be accessed after a certain time has passed. Also, they delete themselves once opened, but that can be worked around by zipping them.

I've been taking pictures, as well.

Speaking of which, here's a fun little edit I've noticed - additional detail made to naked Bulma:

Forgive me if this has already been answered, so this isn't uncut then?

Was that edit to censor Bulma's breast?

Additional detail, meaning more cleavage. The opposite, so to speak.

Awesome. Not that I want to see more nudity. Or that I get off on that stuff. I just want to know it is uncut. Anyways, thanks SSJ_Rambo and Bkev.

I only wish I could print this stuff out somewhere for free. I have a hard time concentrating while reading it on my monitor.

I heard Viz's was not 100% uncut. But it appears this is 100% uncut and someone just put in Viz's translation.

Edit update:
Also in Chapter 9, wait a second, when Yamucha thinks the Dragon Balls are under the blanket and he looks. They don't show Bulma naked at that part. I guess that was added in the anime by Toei? But they do show her naked in the shower. So it must be uncut.

So lemme get this straight...

It looks like we're getting the entire manga in English, uncensored (I see Bulma's tits), in color, for free.

Daaaaaaaaaamn

Hm a more pervy Dragonball? Hey, I'm cool with that. Well...As long if they don't do the same for little Chichi.

I laughed. Puar's line was awesome.

BTW, the lines used in the puff-puff scene in the english version were from the uncensored translation.

VegettoEX @ 9:21 am EDT -- School Library Journal has an interview with Traci Todd, editor of the Viz Kids line. There is a good amount of discussion regarding the marketplace and using DragonBall and Naruto as springboards to create an entirely new market using existing franchises and "reversioning" them down to a lower target age group.

GC4K: Are you afraid that if you do have to do write-arounds for some of the titles, you might get the kind of backlash other companies have faced when they’ve done those kinds of edits?

TT: I think there is more tolerance for that kind of thing with kids titles, because the expectation is that these books have to be squeaky clean. Therefore, there’s more understanding. But I will say that we try not to choose things that we have to write around.

While this is all cute and interesting for now, we are only four volumes into this "Chapter Book" format for the DragonBall series and have no idea how far Viz plans to take it. With such a checkered release history for the series in both anime and manga form, we here at Daizenshuu EX are particularly hesitant to support this release style at all. It has been a constant struggle to get the series appreciated for what it is, rather than dumbing it down even further (because, after all, it already is a franchise for children). We have seen the censored version of the franchise affect the so-called "uncut" version far too many times for our own comfort.

I have a feeling its cencored <wink> <wink>.

I wonder, how long they'll making this special colored version.....

If it'll go over second Kanzeban, I'll call it a miracle and will pee totally naked on our neighbour's flowers and sing Makafushigi Adventure along

And you will have to record it as proof.

Are they going to color the entire Manga?

I think that nobody knows. So far, they seem to be planning to go until the end of September at least.

rereboy · Post by **rereboy** » Sat Sep 12, 2009 9:57 am

SSj_Rambo seems to have taken down the files.

DemonRin · Post by **DemonRin** » Sat Sep 12, 2009 10:38 am

The Link to the folder has gone down... These looked great, and knowing they're uncut!

Also, since you said you'd get the first few chapters of One Piece, can you answer me a Question?

in Chapter 3, do they call Zoro "Zoro" or "Zolo"?

Tweaker · Post by **Tweaker** » Sat Sep 12, 2009 10:42 am

I've still got all of the chapters saved if anyone would like me to rehost them. I don't mind.

Please do?

In Both English and Japanese if you don't mind!

I've got the Kanzenban Already, but I'd LOVE to see these things fully colored, and with an Uncut Translated Version? That' Amazing!!

I've also got them too, but mine are all higher quality (except for chapter 3, because I wasn't able to do that chapter myself before Shueisha accidentally took it down T_T).

Volume 01 (chapters 1~3)

Amigo Ten · Post by **Amigo Ten** » Sat Sep 12, 2009 12:40 pm

If they are really doing the whole thing, we should have a complete fully coloured manga in about... 10 years?

SSj_Rambo · Post by **SSj_Rambo** » Sat Sep 12, 2009 3:19 pm

Hmm, all of the files are still there, it's just the link to the specific page I have set up for the manga chapters isn't working. Don't worry, I'll try and get everything fixed, and the chapters will be available one way or another (*until Shounen Jump takes down their copies*)!!

And chapters 16 and 17 are available from the site, so I'll try and get them all captured today, but it might have to wait until tommorow since I have football tonight.

DemonRin · Post by **DemonRin** » Sun Sep 13, 2009 11:34 am

Thank you!!!!!!!

Also, can anyone answer my question? Has anyone seen Their One Piece Stuff? is it Uncut? Is Zoro "Zoro" or is he "Zolo"?
