The word "KAI" means in the old North Germanic language Frisian "Kämpfer engl. Fighter" respectively "Krieger engl. Warrior"!

He's referring to the movie "My Neighbor Totoro" by world renowned animated filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki.

As for the sets, I really love the box art! Probably one of the best I've seen in awhile for any release.

I think Tom Dubois of "The Boondocks" said it best for me when FUNimation announced the release of the domestic Dragonbox, after buying all of the Season Sets: "MOTHERFUCK!!! SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT, PRICKS, SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIIIIIIIT!"

That and we get a few shots of Sangofe's slippers in some of the pics, which are of Totoro himself. :P

I didn't take these pictures, so they wouldn't be "my slippers". But please, go on topic again, if you want to discuss or have questions, feel free to ask, if not, let the topic die.

From what I've heard they're much like the Spanish sets. Taken from a Dragon Box source but PAL and interlaced which leads to some ghosting.

Not my pictures, all credits go out to gillou2501 at the animeguides forum (am too tired to translate atm), here's his post:

Après un test sommaire, on peut dire que la qualité est encore au rendez-vous.

Au chapitre des amelioration, le bug sonore des 14 derniers épisodes du premier coffret semble absent ( a priori ) de celui-ci, relève donc la note globale. Sinon le son pour la VO est le même, du bon vieux mono deux canaux, avec très peu de souffle, relativement claire.

Au niveau de la video, pas grand chose a redire, si ce n'est que l'image me parait un peu plus douce que pour le premier box, mais ce n'est surement qu'une impression. Les couleur joliment saturé ( parfois un poil de trop ) tranche toujours autant avec les ton pastel/fade de l'edition japonaise. Perso je préfère notre version. Ma seule réserve concerne la derniere galette qui contient 7 episodes au lieu de 6 ( manque de place oblige ), et j'ai cru percevoir de légers défauts de compression, comme on l'avait déjà observé sur le 1er box de DBZ. Cela ne nuit nullement au visionnage, et ne concerne qu'un DVD sur 14.


La police de caractère des sous-titre est différente du premier coffret, un peu plus grosse, un peu plus arrondie, donc plus confortable a la lecture.

La traduction semble être dans la continuité du premier coffret, et je n'ai pour l'instant remarqué aucune incartade.

Néanmoins, certain choix éditoriaux continuent de me laisser perplexe, notamment celui de mettre telles-quelles des locution chinoise ( un très bon choix a mon avis ), alors que d'un autre coté, certaines des locutions anglaises basiques sont elle traduites en français ( thank you = merci ). Je conçois que dans certain contexte, il doit être difficile de construire une phrase Française potable avec une locution étrangère en plein milieu... :-?

Bref, des point de détail et des question de gout pour la traduc', mais globalement, on frôle la perfection.

Les aficionados vont enfin pouvoir découvrir, pour la première fois dans une édition française ( sinon occidentale :?: ), le deuxième opening de la série, ainsi que le 4iem générique de fin, complètement diffèrent des 3 premiers. Un véritable bonheur pour les fans hardcore.

Grâce à ces deux coffret, je suis aux anges, c'est LA serie de l'époque club-do que j'attendais le plus dans une edition potable. Alors je pensais pas dire ça un jour, mais : merci AB, et merci TF1 pour ces éditions. Et puis tient, tant qu'on y est, merci a la TOEI d'avoir été une usine ( au sens propre comme au sens figuré :lol: ) à rêve pendant toute ces années...

A bon entendeur...

Really liking the cover arts on those releases. I don't know much about the actual content on them, but it looks as though they are remastered, which is good.

Um, guys, it's not just FUNimation's art. It's Toei art that FUNimation happened to use, too.

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!
