An excellent opportunity to write in a suggestion for the Original Dragon Ball (non-Z) Dragon Box or original Dragon Ball on Blu-ray!

(Or whatever you want, really.)

Why is that I may ask 阿修羅? The Dragon Ball season sets had great quality, despite being a slight bit zoomed in. The only issues where Funi's title cards regardless of version. Other then that the DB season sets are perfect. They also don't cost $800 a pop either.

Ta da.

Dragon Box - Dragon Ball
Dragon Box - Dragon Ball GT
Dragon Box - The Movies (Inc. TV Specials)

DBZ OVA 2008 (DVD / HD?)
DBZ OVA 2010 (BD/DVD)
DBZ OVA 2011 (BD/DVD)

Don't want blue bricks (DB) or green bricks (GT) in my Dragon Ball Collection, Dragon Box - DB/GT/TM is what I really want.

Hopefully they'll return to release the rest of the Dragon Boxes.

They look too-smoothed out and just lower quality in general; the coloration is also very red for some reason. They also don't have the NEPs. They're not bad; definitely worth the 15 bucks a set I spent on them, but as an archival version? No.

I am not a fan of the Dragon Box colors at all, but the PQ is probably the best there is right now, and the colors can be corrected:

I actually bought the JP release, but I think you shouldn't have to spend 500 bucks for it.

Erm are you decent in Japanese?! There are no subs in the Dragon Box(unless you can somehow put imported subs in) But, if the Dragon Boxes for Dragon Ball, I might get them. I make a lot of money($150,000 a year), but I prefer saving rather then spending. Funi should sell the DB-Dragon Boxes for about $45-$65. Also I don't see anything wrong with either the SS quality or the Dragon Box quality. They're both top notch! How about the US GT Dragon Boxes instead?! That would be cool wouldn't it?

[Gaffer Tape]

Well, I had to lie about which title I would buy as I am not familiar with any of them, but I certainly made it perfectly clear that if they released the other DBoxes, I would buy them immediately. Hopefully others will do this as well and show them it's financially viable.

No, you don't.

Is it just me who's never heard of any of the titles they have listed there? I would be sorely tempted for Dragon Boxes of DB, but I doubt it would happen anytime soon; the Z Boxes were more a case of "we screwed up, here, we're sorry", but I get the impression the with the blue bricks their stance is "eh, they'll do". Why bother paying gazillions for the masters and packaging when the ones that are out there are still selling like hot cakes? As I said, I would love me some more Dragon Boxes and would happily double-dip for them, but I don't see it happening at the moment now that they're pushing Blu-ray more and more; they'll probably do Blu-rays of Dragon Ball at some point that aren't as badly-zoomed-in and call it a day.

Technically speaking, can't one buy the whole series for less then $500? Here's why.
If the average price of a Season Set is $15 and $15X$9=$145 then that's that done.
If the Dragon Ball GT complete series is $50
If the Dragon Ball season sets were $15 a pop and there are 5 that's $75
The Dragon Ball Movie Pack is $25
The Dragon Ball Z Movie Packs are $25X3=75

The that's $145+$50+$75+$25+75=$360 give or take. Wow that's less then one Dragon Box!! And people say Funimation are greedy bastards! Toei make Funimation look like Jesus Christ shot by Cupid's love arrow on anti anxiety pills!

[Ashura]

If you've never heard of any of those titles, at least vote for Last Exile.

And yeah... if I thought there was a real chance of the DB Dragon Boxes, I would never have spent the 500 bucks for the original Japanese version in the first place. Even still, letting them know there's an audience isn't a bad thing.

Erm are you decent in Japanese?!

No, but I'm decent in video production. Blue Bricks + OCR = Muxable Script.

Yeah, I do. I'm not exactly uneducated you know. I went to a fine University in London and have I also have MASTERS degree in Media. You can't assume I'm lying about my pay, cause I ain't!!

[UnbiasedDBZfan]

The $ is Canadian not American BTW so I'm not making as much as you think.

[Jawdrahb]

Good job Ashura. My form sounded a little like 'me wants more Dragon Boxes'.

[Ashura]

UnbiasedDBZfan: I think it's just them reacting to how bizarre it is to just randomly drop the amount of money you make in the thread.

FUNimation owns Nichijou?! I guess that's where Bandai went.

[Ashura]

I don't think they have all of this stuff.

Some of these titles are things they could potentially license I assume.

[Gonstead]

FUNimation owns Nichijou?! I guess that's where Bandai went.

Same, I thought it was a bit weird for Funimation to pick up Nichijou after Bandai stopped publishing.

Though I haven't actually watched the series itself, I know what the series is in general and what it looks like.

Hope you won't be one of the 90% that says the show is not funny or do not understand the jokes.

Everyone should vote for Mawaru Penguindrum.

If it's anything like Lucky Star or Azumanga Daioh, I'll probably enjoy it.

Though I've heard the series is a bit weird, mind shedding some light on this? Not that this is a bad thing though, I just like to sometimes be informed beforehand when watching something.

Heck, I haven't even watched a full episode of Cromartie High School and I could already tell it was weird from the few clips I watched but it looked like a series I would probably enjoy a lot.

It is weird from time to time and anything could happen for no reason. I'm not gonna say more.
