Mine was shipped out yesterday. Hopefully it comes tomorrow, because I got at least three packages already coming Monday :shock:.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

It's not there. It's nothing but silence. :(
Well, at least it suits the scene better than the music they used there. Particularly with Hebert's giant ending narration.

That, and putting the two together is one of the rare cases of a genuine fustercluck of fusing the two (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l7UkUQd4CQ) As usual, cut out the inner monologue and it would have worked just fine.

No, no, no. I had to have it very clearly explained to me before I understood what was going on during that scene. There was that random bird and then Gohan was screaming. Maybe he doesn't like birds?

The inner monologe saved that scene.

:wink: :lol: :P

I have two VOB requests. Can we get a clip of Goku and Cell fighting in episode 179? Any scene is fine, just something high motion. And can we get Gohan killing the Cell Juniors in episode 185?

I'm hoping I can scrape up enough money for this. Game releases have wiped my money out...

Is it just me, or does it seem smaller compared to the first 4. I lined them up and 5 seems smaller. Anyways, I still need to watch Box 4. Once I'm done with that, I'm going straight to 5!
EDIT: Also, shouldn't this boxset go up to 210 and not 209?

Nope, the last three boxes have 41 episodes each.

Watched Dragon Ball Z #169, the animation supervisor was Uchiyama Masayuki. It's weird. Some shots looked pretty good (Gokû showing Karin-sama his full power), others looked horrible. More so, Uchiyama's non-spikey haired characters tend too look pretty good (Roushi, Chichi, Oolong, Pu-erh), but the others looks terrible. Even a few shots of Cell--which typically look awful in his episodes--were pretty well done. Still, Kobara Tai'ichirou and Uchiyama were the only key animators credited, so I have to have to wonder why it is this episode had a few good shots...hmmm...

What? So the next one will be ending at 250 and not 251? That sucks. I really wish all of them would've been 42 and the last one was 39.

I'd only prefer the last box having 39 episodes if they had extras for it, but I think this way is pretty fair.

True, but I feel if it were 42 episodes for everything except box 7, it'd fit the continuity of the episodes per box.

Strange. Mine was like that for not even a day and then it shipped. Maybe they have a lot of orders for Dragon Box 5 and even though it is "reserved for your order" it's taking a while to be sent? Like, the mail or something. POINTLESS SPECULATION! HOORAY! Anyways, I've been wanting to hear something from members. They all say the Kamehame-Ha struggle took "10 episodes" when it's only 2 and a half or something. I don't remember it dragging out for a long time. So, why do you guys think it drags out for so long. I haven't actually watched Box 5 yet, but I saw the episode titles and it doesn't seem like the struggle is that long.

It took one whole episode and that's it.

Hello, I was wondering which set was going to include the 2 TV specials, OVA, action figures and commercials? Or did we get cut from that?

Link to a source that says that or you're talking bullshit.

Hopefully this is just Funimation sticking the TV series in with the movies again instead of the TV series where it belongs and we'll probably get them with the movies box.
