I just finished watching episode 17 of Z (Japanese) in Dragonbox format. I'm going to watch Z all the way up to ep 291 then I will leave the series alone for a long time unless they release Dragonboxes for the movies and other two series. Also by the time I've finished Z that 2013 DBZ movie should be out.

Big Green dub of Bardock's TV special.

Honestly, it's not that bad of a dub. Sure, some pretty bad voices here and there but it was at least more enioyable to watch the the Funimation version.

Vegeta in the 'Flashforward" always cracks me up. How did they not realize that Vegeta was an adult at that point. Anyway, still awesome.

Just finished off the Frieza Saga (Orange Brick) tonight. I totally forgot that Gohan and Vegeta fought when they got back on Earth. Big continuity mistake though.. in Episode 92 (Namek's Explosion... Goku's End?) Vegeta flys away, but then in Episode 93 (Goku's Alive) Vegeta is back with the rest of the gang, and it's like they never fought. Gohan extends his hand in thanks for the new wish suggestion and Bulma also acts like nothing happened. lol

I just got through watching the DVD's of the ocean movies that I got from someone on here and I thank him very much they've made me and my brother very happy :D
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
Still recording Toonami broadcasts on VHS after all these years!

I'm watching the Namek saga in Japanese (orange bricks) for the first time. Then I'll watch the Ginyu saga via orange bricks, then the Freeza saga via singles.

Currently Watching: Captain Giny - Assault DVD

WOW everyone sounds so different compared to the Orange Brick version!

I also didn't know this DVD had the 'Rock the Dragon' opening! so awesome... so old school.

Finished up watching Kai Part 2 (Blu-Ray) last night. Damn Kai is awesome, its Dragon Ball Z with Balls. Loving the English dubbing effort, call me immature, but I love it how they are including 'bastard', 'damn' and even 'pissing me off'. Zarbon almost said "son of a bitch" too lol

The only thing missing is Goku saying "ain't". I wonder why they didn't bother to include that into the Engish script.. he's constantly saying it in the Japanese version.

Really cool to hear them saying some of the moves correctly too!

I recently watched the episode where Goku uses the Kaioken X3 against Vegeta in Japanese via Dragonbox format. Tonight I might watch the episode where Vegeta turns into a Great Ape.
