Oh, guess we're just getting the DB + Z films, no DBZ TV-Specials or OVA, which should've been featured on the Dragon Box Z.
Yea, If we got all of that, I would've voted for Dragon Box TM hands down.

I also created a YT video to help promote the survey. I posted the zoomerang link around several other anime and DB forums. Reshared and retweeted on my FB and Twitter.

Spread the word! It's the age of social media. We should get thousands of people to complete this survey without breaking a sweat. Band together fellow Dragon Ball Fans. (Yeah, I'm a bit excited. lol)

I think we're all excited :P

Edit - I just sent my friends this survey! Let's not miss our chance of getting those original Dragonball Dragon-Boxes :)

The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

I really want all of them, but my pick went to Dragon Ball. I really don't like the image quality of the season sets (especially on later episodes), and I want the missing opening/ending animations and NEPs. For GT and the movies, I *guess* I could use existing releases in a pinch, but I'd still buy Dragon Boxes.

I'm wanting all as well but I voted for Dragon Ball, since there's yet to be a complete R1 release for that (NEPs, openings/endings etc) and it's my favourite in the franchise. I really do hope they release these.

I'd like to take this post to suggest everyone take the opportunity to misuse those "Why are these your favorite Sagas?" comment boxes to suggest things like: reprinting the Z Boxes, throwing the extras from the original Z Boxes onto the Movies box or something (TV Specials, OVA, etc), and the Mexican dub (even if you don't really care, it's the thought of other fans that counts).

Also, I voted DB first, though really they should release all of them. DB coming out first would be nice.

I did a bit of a split vote; I asked for the Movie Box but put down Dragon Ball as the superior series!

Still, fantastic they're taking it to us peoples.

Forget the movies, I much prefer if FUNi got the masters for Dragon Ball.

Also what's great about this is, Let's say for example that Funimation says ''Okay we're releasing the original Dragonball Dragon-boxes'' We won't be hearing people say ''well why couldn't they have included the English music?'' Funimation never made an English soundtrack for the original Dragonball that I'm aware of. Also I'm not knocking Bruce Falconer, Because I like the English music and dub. But now that Funimation has spoken, I can defiantly say that I will not be buying those Blue Season Sets.

HELL YES!!!

I saw this on Facebook, and completed the survey immediately. I voted for a Dragon Ball Dragon Box first. I feel that's more valuable to have, since we could then have the correct openings and closings (the majority of which have never been released in America), the next episode previews, and presumably a Steve Simmons-translated Dragon Book.

It was difficult to choose between Dragon Ball Dragon Boxes and the movies, but I ultimately chose the original series. I'd like to get either.

I only hope that they don't start releasing something and then stop before they finish.

Me thinks they would lose money that way. The Blu-ray remastering was in house, this would be a licensed master from a different company.

I also voted for Dragon Ball Dragon Box. :P I don`t think they will, not sure about Ultimate Uncut, but with Blu-ray releases, they had to remaster video temselves, with was both time and money consuming, with Dragon Boxes "They didnt change a damn thing" :P

When it comes to these Dragon Boxes, I think they make sure nothing like that happens. Unless they want some kind of riot on their hands.

The original series is, IMO, of the utmost importance right now. Especially since they already have the Z movies.

Been lurking for a while, but saw this survey and jumped right on it! Voted for DB of course, considering I haven't heard anything about Funi getting the DB masters, so the fact that it's an option is awesome! Also, I gave some support to GT, since people seem to not be paying attention to it. It would suck if nobody supported it and they just didn't release it because of unpopularity.

Oh god, I've been on the first question for 10 minutes now.. I'm torn between Dragonball and the Movies.. I think I'm gonna flip a coin and decide that way. :lol:

Voted for the Dragonball Dragon box!


Assuming Dragonball tops out, do you think they'll anounce it some time later this year?

Foreseeable future. I don't think these deals are completed just like that. Weren't the Dragon Box Z's announced a few days after the contract was signed?

I voted Dragon Ball and abused the chat boxes I doubt people are going to read why they are our favorite sagas and me saying how much I appreciate them considering o release Dragon Ball on the Dragon Box >< I think after this survey they aren't going to release the GT saga unless people who watched it on nicktoons liked it. I was told by a friend that he used the chat box to vote a favorite saga and write badly about GT in the comments bar I hope no one else did that :(

I went with the movies, even though they're as good as redundant for me :P
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!
