Spain to get Kanzenban! Possibly DragonBoxes!?

SonGokuGT · Post by **SonGokuGT** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 2:43 am

Yes, reading on a thread from a Dragonball Forum from Spain [www.boladedragon.com] They have appearantly announced that by Winter 2005, they will be releasing what they called "a new edition of the Dragonball manga parallel to the new Japanese Editions".

Also, MangaFilms Spain has announced the release of the first Dragonball series on DVD for the Spanish market. They are still pondering how to release it, but one of their main options is one collector's 25-disc boxset! This edition will contain Castillian, Catalan, Gallegan, Basque, and Portuguese languages!

I know, I know... It doesn't affect us here but that is still pretty awesome... I'm pretty envious! T_T

They're so lucky!
I do know some spanish (took 4 years of it), I'd at least be able to read the kanzenban that way. I have about a dozen of the japanese kanzenban and I can barely read any of it ^_^;;

I think they are doing a similar thing in France, for both manga and anime.

Manga:
They have completed releasing new "double-volume" versions of the French manga just earlier this year.

DVD:
As far as I know, the videos (for all 3 series) have been released for many years. They have been slowly releasing the episodes on DVD (4-5 per DVD, DB/DBZ) since around 2002. As Funimation has done, after sales have diminished, they then release a boxset version containing 7 or 8 DVDs.

You'd think there'd be better graphic designers in France than that! Anyways Those boxes/covers are pretty weak! But hey, It's the content that counts...

and they are a LOT better than the original French manga covers!

The manga covers are uglu, but the French have very cool DVD-covers...

Believe me, DVDs with those covers are really hard to find. The DVDs you can find in most shops are the same as those you were talking about but with butt-ugly covers. I have the Dragon Ball Z Volume 1 (the Raditz Saga) and I don't plan on buying anymore of those DVDs, the picture and sound quality is weak. The extras are ok but I've read somewhere that's you get the same extras on every DVD.

As for the manga, the new edition has the original Japanese covers I believe. They sell two volumes at a time inside a beautiful box. I have like ten volumes of the original French edition and the covers weren't all that so I may have to buy that edition.
What Ginyu showed isn't the latest edition. What he showed was released before what is being sold now. Each big book had two volumes of the manga.

EDIT: Here's what the new manga box looks like: http://www.glenat.com/images/02cata/02c ... 2428-G.jpg

Wait, so you're saying that France has two sets of DVDs ? That must be pretty confusing for the average buyer.

But aren't those DVDs "seulement en français"? >.>

LaRésistance · Post by **LaRésistance** » Sun Jan 23, 2005 10:13 am

Oui, they're only in French

.

Vegeta 91, there is only one set of DVDs, Those with the beautiful covers are impossible to find (I've never seen anywhere). A few sites uses those covers but I don't think they really exist (I've compared a review of those DVDs with mine and they're the same).

Archonia [think you'll know it as an European? www.archonia.com ] has those 2 DVD's I posted on sale, for like €10 per DVD.

Actually, I had never heard about it

Why can't we see them in England?

There were four DVD's with the nice cover art, they were also released in a Box-set:

I was lucky enough to get all four when they were just released.

You'd think the way they've been trying to milk the manga (with how many bajillion re-realsings of it - Double volumes, half volumes and now these?), Glénat would get off their asses and finally translate the remaining Daizenshuu.

How many years has it been since the original translation came out? Ten?

In all fairness, those are two different dubbers... It's like saying Ocean Group's DVD covers rock (if they frickin' sold DVDs) and Funi's sucked.

So there's two versions in France?

LaRésistance · Post by **LaRésistance** » Mon Jan 24, 2005 6:30 am

There's only one version but the actors kept changing from one episode to another.

As for the original translation of the manga, I think it was released in 1994 or 1995.

In france, its quite complicated.
DB and DBZ got dubbed not long after it aired in Japan.
But, some eps were left uncut, other episodes were cut even before the dubbing.
They never cared to properly store and take care of the japanese version, nor the less french cut version either.
The dub got sold to various tv stations.
For over 100 eps it aired with about the same ammount of cut that was made before the dub (wich was minimal), but, parants said it was to voilent and the tv station made its cuts.
after that it got sold to other tv stations and cut's of cut's got cut and its gotten even more cut.
The dvds are random,
some episodes are of the least cut, others are of the most cut.
No japanese version.
