What the hell is up with Frieza's neck? And is that Garlic Jr. arc Kuririn on the side?

Not a big fan of this cover art...it looks a little too comedic for my taste. Then again, I wasn't going to be ordering it anyway, so...moot point, I guess.
A "rather haggard" translation of a line from Future Gohan in DBZ, provided to FUNimation by Toei:
"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

Nice, I do like the French dub a lot, so I think I'll end up importing this set.

That version of Krillin isn't even in this set. But hey, two full arcs, that's pretty cool.

Where does it say anything about the language or subtitle tracks? Where does it say anything confirming the musical score?

They're all probably correct, but even searching around on other sites I've seen nothing confirming any of that. I'm not going to update with speculation.

They've used the replacement score on the episodes, so yeah.

Here's a clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnCF7boyiXM

Some users say Kikuchi's music sounds darker on the French dub but to me, it's pretty much the same replacement soundtrack in the rest.

That cover art is actually based on a title page from the manga, although I can't recall which chapter off the top of my head.

EDIT: Ah! It's chapter 309!

Yea. I thought maybe they took that image from some card art from those those cards that did the manga chapters in color. But I looked back at my scans and found the image they used for this box is just a traced "updated" version.

I do agree, FUNimation Kai covers have always been pretty simple and basic white background. However, One Piece Season 4 Voyage 1 looks freaking awesome!

^ I wish the Dragon Ball Z Kai FUNimation covers were this fabulous.

To my comment, it's due to the transfer of NTSC to PAL, why it sounds slightly different and what some call "darker Kikuchi".

That's because they saw it by downloading some illegal BD-rips available on torrent sites. During the process of PAL conversion, the French dubbing company sped up the audio without change in pitch, but those BD-rips contain the audio slowed down to NTSC speed with pitch change, so it sounds awkwardly deeper than the original. All those who say that kind of complaints watch the dub illegally. That's all.

This is really bad news. Not only does it seem to be dvd only, but in addition to that, it's coming from AB!

So in other words, complete incompetence.

The audio track is from a TV Rip version, muxed with US Blu Ray rip.

Real French TVRip : http://rutube.ru/tracks/5417692.html
The sound is a little bit better.^^

And, about the Japanese audio track & French subtitles (http://video.fnac.com/a4234454/Dragon-B ... DVD-Zone-2) :

:P It's sounds good.

It does sound slightly better.

So translated it's pretty much like this:

Studio/Company: AB Discs (AB Groupe)
Language 1: Japanese (original audio with replacement score - kikuchi)
Language 2: French (dub with replacement score - kikuchi)
Subtitles: French
Stereo/Mono: Stereo

Same as I've stated before but this time it's with a confirmation that some might've needed.

Dude, to put news on a webpage you need to sources to be 100% accurate and actually prove what you're saying...
