Here's another one:

Why did FUNi still change the music for the Ultimate Uncut episodes and go with Nathan Johnson/Mark Menza/another casio keyboard instead of Bruce Faulconer?

:?

Anyway, to answer the second half of the question, Faulconer had been long gone by that point.

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!

I'm more curious as to why they didn't just use the Japanese BGM. It would've fit their whole Ultimate "Uncut-hardcore-Japanese-uncut-full-of-swearing-like-the-Japanese-version-uncut" Edition thing they were going for. Lol I still find their "Japanese" names for the characters to be hilarious. I'm hoping it was on purpose. :lol:

Obviously. It was purely for stylistic reasons.

Well I'd ask, will we see a Dragon Box release of GT or the original Dragon Ball in 2011 or possibly 2012 with a release of a Movie box set?

How many times has this needed to be clarified now? You people need to read. If not the original post, read the replies.

You know, a lot of these are really good questions but I doubt we'll get the answer to them. :(
