As long as they (Funimation) release the Dragon Boxes of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball GT and the movies, for me the order is not important.

Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Agreed. So... no cursing FUNimation if the release turns out to be similar to the GT Complete Series box, 'cause in no way have FUNimation promised that the next release will be a Dragon Box incarnation.
Nevertheless, it would be awesome if we get more Dragon Boxes.
Agreed once more. The Dragon Boxes (or Blu-rays) are the only way I will invest in another release of the series and I would have to bet that FUNimation would be aware of people opting to "hold out" on the current releases if there is even a mere hint of an unsubstantiated rumour that a Dragon Box is on its way.

It isn't concrete "proof" of a Dragon Ball Dragon Box, just the likelihood of the next release of the original Dragon Ball series possibly being in 2013. As stated above and in other posts, there is absolutely no guarantee nor confirmation that the Dragon Boxes are coming, just wishful thinking based upon the survey.

I love the idea of western DB Dragon Boxes, as i'm sure everyone else does too...but what about the Blu-Ray releases? I mean damn I was really looking forward at the Level sets, what a disappointment. Hopefully BR releases aren't completely out of the question for FUNimation.

If the BDs are upscaled then I'd prefer FUNimation to stick to DVD..

Fairy Tail's FUNimation BD version looks really bad.

They actually weren't upscaled. Have you seen the Level sets? Looked pretty solid to me.

Fairy Tail is an upscale from the DVD version, the DBZ Levels were actually in HD.

The quality is truly horrible and also why I would've preferred FUNimation to have had released this series on DVD only than making a BD combo pack which the Blu-ray doesn't offer much other than supposedly better audio quality, but loses points on the PQ with the detail loss and whatnot.

Hopefully FUNimation won't milk the Dragon Ball on Blu-ray like this, it'd be awfully bad for them and for the fans, if they can't release it in true HD then don't bother with upscales on BD neither.

Aha not at all I thought you were saying the BR Level sets were upscaled, my bad.
I don't even watch Faity Tail, although I do hear it's good...i may check the anime out sometime. As far as upscaling DB to BR, I really hope that doesn't happen because the BR transfer of Faity Tail looks terrible.

All of FUNi's new upscales are good. I can't make a proper judgement since I'm on a mobile device, but maybe Fairy Tail was a weird exception? Also it might be good if you gave the DVD shots also.

FUNi's not the one doing the upscales. Those upscales are done over in Japan. But overall, there are several upscales that are very well done. Blue Submarine No. 6 and FLCL being some of the worst. The plus side for these releases is that we finally get the lossless JPN stereo track usually missing on American releases.

Obviously the next release is the Ocean version of Kai on DVD and Blu-Ray.

They'll market it as "DRAGON BALL KAI: REVERB" and the covers depict the cast in a massive orgy, all cosplaying as DB/Z characters.

But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. 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.
