Dragon Box vol 5 discussion

Post by Greenman » Thu Apr 07, 2011 7:10 pm

After a "long" wait Dragon Box Five has finally started shipping. I haven't had a chance to really check it out much, but as expected everything looks identical to the previous Boxes so far. A couple pictures will have to do for now. I'll probably take some screenshots later, but if anyone wants to beat me to the punch, by all means. :wink:

Oh, and the menu messages are back. Disc 30 says "Only two left". :P

Very nice! I can't wait to get mine, though it probably won't be watched for awhile. I like to watch things in order and I'm only on the 2nd half of my 3rd Dragon Box.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

Rumor has it that the reason this was pushed back was that episodes 200-209 were redubbed. Is this true? Did We Gotta Power make it into the dub track at least?

There's some things:

"Fashion Check" with Gohan in his school uniform and Chichi in her normal outfit.

"We Count Down Anything" which features "sexy characters," "handsome guys" and "Bulma's inventions."

And last but most definitely not least, "The Great Saiyaman Illustrated" which features a description of each part of Saiyaman's outfit.

We Gotta Power is used in the dub track, yeah, but as expected it's not dubbed (unfortunately). From what I can tell, nothing is redubbed... Also, this wasn't pushed back because of that; other original February releases from Funimation were delayed to April too as far as I know.

Why 200-209?..

Because the rumor I heard was that Kai isn't doing the Buu arc that FUNi would redub that arc from Z.

I'm thinking this rumor is completely false. What source did you get this information from?

Wouldn't it be better to start from 195? And include the Spirit world Tenkaichi Budokai.

I hadn't planned on posting any clips this time, but I'll probably post just this one later tonight. EDIT: Maybe just a 30ish second clip of it. I wanna stick to "samplers".

Has the price on this motherfucker dropped yet? I'm running low on cash, so my patented fuckton of screencaps won't be coming for a while.

Also, greenman...your caps are strangely blurry looking. I don't see any grain or whatnot in them and the lines and colors look kinda water-colorish.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
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!

RightStuf has it for $35.99, if that helps.

I'm not sure why that would be. MarcFBR PMed me instructions/settings for getting good screen caps a while ago. I checked the settings before I took them, but I'll double check. Eh, that's all the screens I plan to take anyway.
