Here's hoping they release an English kanzenban without edits and this "Z" nonsense
Where's the beef?

I feel sorry for the people that may actually get those if Viz does that idea, and watch it be just for the money to them. They, like a couple other companies I don't feel like mentioning, could care less about the true fans.
That wouldn't happen. They haven't really edited that much.

1) That won't happen.

2) If they "could care less", they why don't they?

3) NO companies cares about "the true fans". They all care only about profits (and now you know how the world works).

4) If there are "true fans", who are the false fans?

I completely agree. Once Viz's finishes up their initial release, they should go and release these fully uncut. Think about it, this is a perfect marketing plan. They advertise it as "fully uncut in color with Drawings you've never seen before!"

Hey, I'd buy that stuff in a second. The Kanzenbans are glorious releases. And lets face it, Viz isn't one to deny complete reprints of entire series (Dragonball, DBZ, Inu Yasha) even after they are done (Maison Ikkoku).

The people who don't pitch a hissy fit about some middle fingers and a gun being censored.

I agree. Like I said in my last post, it's better than nothing.

Except that it'll never happen. As soon as DBZ volume 26 is printed, Viz's involment with Dragonball will be done and over with, aside from some possible box sets and the occasional reprints.

The reprints of all of those series were just in a smaller size format (with little-to-no change in translation), and done well before the entire series was finished.
even after they are done (Maison Ikkoku).
The original release of Maison didn't print every chapters. The rerelease of MI fixed those problems. The issues with DB/DBZ are nowhere near the levels as with MI.

Herculetopia? That's the most hilarious thing I've ever heard. So is Mr. Popo still censored out of his Sambo persona?
