Just got a shipping confirmation for my pre-order with Right stuf. Guess we will find out soon enough whether these are really uncensored and contain colored pages ...

Wow, that's great.

Please report back if it's non/coloured and uncut/censored. I'll decide once I know these two things.

Will do. I'm so curious about this release whether it is what it is claimed to be. If it is indeed uncut, I will definitely grab the rest too. I already have all the vizbigs, so I have most of the colored pages, but I still hope this release will have all the colored pages included.

You should definitely take note of how thin or not the pages are too, compared to say the regular volumes (if you happen to have them, or any other regular volumes of manga), so that particular point can be laid to rest as well. ^_^;

Part o' me is hoping that the quality will be similar to the newer Evangelion 3-in-1's, but I'm not holding my breath. I guess we'll know in the coming days...

[Ryuji-Otogi]

I don't own any of the 3-in-1's, but to me the quality wasn't so bad when I flipped through them at the bookstore. When I'm reading a page that's pushed back against the rest of the book's many other pages, I don't see-through too much. But if you've got the page half-turned, with your finger creased between it and the rest of the book's pages, and there's light and space between them, then the thinness of the paper really shows. Either way, if the books really are uncensored, then I really won't care. Then again, the VIZBIGs look so great that you might consider them over even uncensored books if they're low quality.

I'm also curious if the DBZ color manga will ever see a print-release, and if they're censored or not.

I just had an email telling me that my 3 in 1 should be delivered by 29th May.

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

Got my 3-in-1.

Here's some pictures.







There are no colour pages.



Bulma is still censored too.



The entire book is just a copy and paste of the Viz big, the only differences are the cover, paper quality, and the removal of all the colour inside.

[Zenkai]

Bulma is still censored too.

I wonder what they meant by "uncut and uncensored" then?

Anyways, I'm glad Bulma is censored in this release. I prefer my Dragon Ball without child pornography.

[pappy]

Uncut and uncensored... Except for where we left it censored.

[Makaioshin]

Oh well, I'll just wait for them to have a real Kanzenban release or full color release before I double dip.

[Zenkai]

Perhaps they CAN'T release Bulma uncensored because she's under-aged?

But then again, my local library had/has an English release with Bulma uncensored.

[Zephyr]

Anyways, I'm glad Bulma is censored in this release. I prefer my Dragon Ball without child pornography.

But nudity and pornography are far from the same thing.

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

It is just a poor quality VizBig, there's honestly no differences between the two when it comes to censorship.

[VegettoEX]

Thanks so much for the post. Great to get it first-hand from someone with the book literally in front of them so folks can stop their guessing-game .

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

Glad I could help .

[TheGreatness25]

I don't know, I love my VizBigs. This entire time, I was thinking that this sounds pretty much like a repackaging of the VizBigs...didn't know it would be worse. Plus with the full colored manga release, I thought there was a tiny glimmer of hope that this would be fully colored. Ohs well, keeping my VizBigs for now.

As for the censoring, maybe they meant dialog? Although as far as I know the translation wan't that far off anyway. I have the original Japanese manga, so I theoretically do have the "uncensored" version.

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

I've been reading it side-by-side with the VizBig, and so far it has the exact same translation.

[dbzfan7]

God Dammit I just bought 5 Viz Bigs. I held off for so long to find out an uncensored release is happening.

Well depending on possible dialogue being uncut may decide whether I'll feel like an idiot. I could care less about the censoring of Goku's balls or Bulma. I find it stupid to censor the middle finger (but not that bad). I do hate how Mr. Satan is named Hercule, Vegetto is Vegerot, and Satan City being Herculopolis. Chi and Ki are the same, but I prefer ki. Only the future will tell if this new crappier paper release will make me feel stupid for spending too soon.
