I won my DragonBox Z Vol. #3 in a FUNimation Twitter contest. At first I didn't think that DragonBox picture and sound quality could be improved upon, but y'know what? I was wrong-- it's even better when it's free. ^_^

If it's not too much trouble could you take season set comparisons for a couple of those Trunks vs Freeza caps?

Sure. I'll get to it as soon as I finish ripping all of these CDs to my computer.

That has got to be one of the most action-packed filler free and epic episodes of Dragon Ball Z ever.
Can't wait to get there. But now if you excuse me, it is time for me to witness Goku's SSJ transformation in some badass awesome quality. 8)

PS: I'd like some season set comparisons too. Thanks in advance. :)

Why do you guys want season set comparisons? You already know the outcome... Do you just want to like the Dragon Boxes even more? :P :lol:

I'm not sure I could like the Dragon Boxes more. Sometimes fights are more interesting when someone's getting their ass kicked. :P

Well it's always nice to see what an improvement in quality the Dragon Boxes are over the previous release.

Okay, what the hell is going on with the Dragon Box and Amazon?

It's available now on Amazon.com but, for some reason, it has been delayed again on Amazon.ca from May 11 to May 25. It makes absolutely no sense.

Here's hoping it means that it sold much better than FUNimation expected, and they weren't able to keep up with the demand.
Do you follow the most comprehensive and entertaining Dragon Ball analysis series on YouTube? If you do, you're smart and awesome and fairly attractive. If not, see what all the fuss is about without even having to leave Kanzenshuu:

Here's a scan of the front cover just in case anyone wanted a larger picture of it:

It didn't have that sticky rubber-like glue the first set had; it was tape... I pulled it off as slow as humanly possible, but the Dragon Box was no match for tape... T_T

The same thing happened to all of my Slayers sets... It's fucking annoying, especially since the tears are on the fronts of the boxes, and not the backs...

I figured it was just me, since no one else had mentioned it.

The exact same happened to mine! Mine also had tape instead of the normal rubbery stuff. Luckily I was able to cut the leftovers attached to the tape out and re-tape them to the box, though it looks pretty shotty still...
