Dragon Ball: The Movies Season Sets

[Casual Matt]

So I was looking at my Dragon Ball DVD collection now that I have all the season sets. (Please don't judge me to harshly for not buying the Dragon Boxes. It's hard for me to justify spending that much to re-buy the whole series on my budget.) That being said, I have to admit having all 508 episodes in a consistent format is pretty sweet.

However, the movies I have being the old full screen releases, they don't fit consistently or nicely when I put them next to the rest of the series. So screw it, I thought, why not make them fit.

So I went out and bought a couple of gigantic DVD cases that fit 10 discs each. Which was perfect since counting the 4 DB movies, the 13 DBZ movies, and the 3 TV specials, it all adds up to 20 features.

So without further adieu, here's what I managed to slap together in MS paint in a couple of days.





"But wait," you may ask, "how can you have seasons of movies? That doesn't make any sense!" To which I reply, neither does FUNimation's "seasons". See? Consistency!

"And stop," you may also say, "you said you had the old full screen discs. Those aren't remastered!" Tho which I reply... uh, okay, you've got me there, but it's not false advertising if I'm not selling it. Then I'd probably try and distract you with the sides of the cases.



Anyway, the character art is from the Sparking games provided courtesy of Google image search. And the logo itself is taken from Dragon Ball Online. The text saying "The Movies" was made with http://www.cooltext.com (which is a cool site and totally deserves a plug for being useful to me all the time) and was inspired by the Japanese releases of the movies.

Here's the full size version of the logo for posterity.

EDIT: Image was a little page stretchy, so here's a link.

True, I didn't really do anything to make this other than slap the text underneath, and even that was generated on a website, but that's probably why it's so pretty in the first place.

Anyway, finally we have the back covers. Here's where I got to be a little creative in writing.





Okay so poetry it ain't, and the editing looks like ass, but cut me some slack, I use MS Paint for the few occasions when I actually do something resembling an image edit, so try and judge it on the ideas more than the end product.

Well, that's all I got. Dare I ask, what do you guys think?

FUNimation and consistency are way WAY too close to each other in these sentences. Just saiyan.


The idea is really cool and I definitely approve! I also really really like the quotes you put in, the first one from Mike and second probably something FUNimation will never say :p

Can't say you have mad Photoshop skills, though, but for someone who doesn't use Photoshop it's really not bad Don't know about the choice of Garlic Junior and Broly, but I guess the idea was to get the more well known characters, which I'm afraid they are.

Good job I say

I'd have put Coola on the cover of Season One (since he's in two movies and the brother of one of the main villians) and put Garlic Jr in his place on the back, but apart from that, pretty schweet.

Nice covers. It looks like what FUNimation might use for their Remastered movies... except maybe for Garlic Jr., they might switch him to Goku. Or, if it was one set, screw everyone because Broly is da man.

This topic reminded me of my own design for a movie boxet.

Why didn't you use the "Dragon Box" style? Along the lines of the actual "Dragon Box: The Movies"?


EDIT: Not that those don't look good, of course. Just wondering.

Because they were made specifically to be consistent with his season set collection.

That said, considering this is MS Paint work, it's pretty decent. The GT special's already on GT Season 2, though, so it would technically be redundant to have it on a hypothetical movie box set. But hey, since you're just putting your old discs in there, that makes the packaging more accurate--plus, it's not a real FUNimation release without at least one headscratcher...

Well, to be fair, counting Garlic's role in the series, those two have appeared more than any other movie villain. Coola being the only other one to appear the more than one movie and a shoe-in for if I was going to do more than two sets.
