Hurry Up Madman! Where's DBZKAi Parts 4 and 5?

Post by DragonBoxZTheMovies » Fri Jul 29, 2011 7:18 am

Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. I know they've been replacing the music for Part 4 but it can't be taking that long! They haven't even put up that nifty little count down thing for it yet. I really want Part 5 on Blu-Ray right now (I can't import because of the region coding) since I've already imported Part 4 on DVD with Yamamoto, and I'm getting sick of waiting. Does anyone know when these two are due for release?

No idea when they're coming out, but you can always import them from America. As for region coding, I haven't owned a DVD player in the last 10 years that I couldn't switch to Region 0 (universal) by entering a quick code with the remote. I bought the Madman Dragonball Saga of Goku DVD because it never came out in America, so until the Blue Bricks released, I always had to make my DVD players Region 0. If you're sick of waiting, importing is a more viable option than you seem to think :)

Actually all of FUNimations DBK Blu-Ray releases are regions A&B (it's those pesky BD double features you have to watch out for), I literally just finished watching an episode of part 5 on my PS3.

I only buy things through Madman that I can't get anywhere else (Earthworm Jim animated series anyone?), as far as distributors go they're pretty poor and churn out some of the worst PAL conversions I've ever had this misfortune of wasting my hard earned cash on, the best you can hope for with them is paying a higher price for an only slightly inferior product.

Really? Ffffffffff-uuuuuuuccccckkkkkk. I wasted like $180 on the first three parts on Blu-Ray and $30 on the DVD of Part 4. Why didn't anyone tell me sooner? Shit, gotta re-buy Part 4 while Yamamoto's still on there.

Hey, I've done my part, every-time someone whines about Madman taking too long to release Kai, I point out you can get a cheaper, nicer packaged version much faster by nabbing them through Amazon.

I take any opportunity to hate on Madman that I can.

In that case Captain Awesome is a VERY appropriate name for you :)

I've been bitter about Madman for many years. Faulty products, poor PAL conversions & grossly overpriced products. Anime was originally made in NTSC so that's how I prefer to watch it anyway.
