I love the side bar color for Part 6. It is by far my favorite color they have used so far, and I also love that image of Vegeta. However, the picture of Cell not so much. Thanks for posting up the cover. Its a surprise we already got the Part 6 cover before Part 5 has even been released.

Hey, is it just me or does that look like it says 66-73 or 75? O.o

Either way, Vegeta dosen't bash on Cell until episode 77 which makes that cover image.... odd.

Not only that, but that would mean the episode count would've dropped significantly. :cry:

Looking at it on my computer, I'm pretty sure it says "66-77", which is 12 episodes. Keeping that pace, we'd have "78-89" (12), and then "90-98" (9). Would make a bit more sense to make 11, 11, 11, but hey, their choice (unless we get a final box of "78-98")

I assume it's an 8 or a 7, if you look close enough, it could be a nine. If it is a 3, then that really explains the $20 price drop. If it's a 7, instead of going (12-12-9),they could go (12-11-10), which I like because they're more even, it's a slow drop and not just a huge drop at the end.
EDIT: The Rightstuf listing says the box is 290 minutes and not 325. So it's either 11 or 12 episodes.

I love the coverart, it looks so... relaxed. It's probably the sidebar that makes the cover for me. The actual picture is good. It's probably the best we've had out of all these two-people covers.

That cover looks pretty nice, I've actually been a fan of all of the covers so far, especially Part 1's. But I would like a new color that isn't yellow- or blue-based. I'm hoping Part 7 is red or brown or something.

I really love the Part 6 art. Very subdued coloring. At least Vegeta's not getting a Box where he's crushing a scouter.

And, what I have been waiting to hear for months here is the English dubbed ending of Kokro No Hane:

Sonny's Dragon Soul sounds a little strained. It's okay.

I love the dub of Kokoro no Hane. I think it's either on par with or better than the original. I dont know who's singing it, but whoever it is, she's talented.

Sonny's Dragon Soul sounds pretty awesome to me. He sounds kinda like the lead singer of the B-52s. As for Kokoro no Hane I think I actually kinda like the dubbed version better, but even that doesn't help it from being an overall shitty song.

Sonny Strait seems to be doing "Dragon Soul" in character.

The dub for "Kokoro no Hane" is quite good, but nowhere near as good as the original.

He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Glad to see everyone's enjoying my videos. My personal thoughts on the openings and endings: they're alright, couldn't of been better however the real highlight is the English version of Kokoro no Hane, its just so enjoyable to listen to.

I was wondering, on the Kai part 5 set, are there any trailers for any upcoming Dragon Ball releases? I was hoping there'd be a part 6 trailer.

No, they don't. I've double checked.

I had a thought the other day. Since episode 98 never aired in Japan, is it possible that it won't be aired in the US either? Since it's to be included as a bonus episode on the Japanese Blu-Rays and DVDs, I'm still expecting it as a bonus episode in the US as well.
