Yes, of course! I have a request though... Wear the scouter (if you have them, that is)! Most importantly, I'd love to see the menus; people seem to be making fun of them, due to their "lack of interactivity".

Oh yeah, have a nice birthday! :lol:

EDIT: But please, don't show them off too much. Just knowing that I will never have the opportunity to own one makes me sad. :cry:

Ah, the double-edge sword. A comprehensive review of anything Dragonball-related would be a source of interesting, compelling information I would probably absorb like a sponge . . . but in this case, it would also pertain exclusively to something I can never own, which I'm sure would make me insanely jealous.

However, I would still watch. Make me jealous, XV.

I'd love to see you do it, and I'd love to host it on the site :D.

LOL, we actually have detailed pages on the Dragon Boxes done, but just not posted yet. HOWEVER, our pages are not a review, there's no video, and there's no comparison to FUNi or anything. So yeah, if you made video reviews with footage and everything, that would totally kick ass! (I'd watch it)

Oh yeah, the reason why we don't have the pages up yet is because my scanner sucks ass, and Hujio's Dragon Boxes are lost in the jungle or something (ie. at his parents house). So don't be surprised if you get an email from Hujio along the lines of "Oh PLEASE! PLEASE mister great MajinVegitaXV, the all-mighty one! We beg of you, for the love of all things holy, make us some scans! My partner DBW is technologically retarded and requires assistance to turn the computer on! You are our last hope, if you don't make us these scans I'll have no choice but to kill 200 kittens! OH PLEASE!!!!" followed by info on the required scans...

Well I would certainly watch. However, the quality of the video you put up for download should be quite high in order to truly grasp comparison to FUNi discs, if that is your intentions.

I was going to suggest that he make a lower (not 'low', but not 'high-def') quality video for the bulk of the review, and have separate short high resolution videos to detail comparisons.

It would also be hard to really get a grasp as to how much clearer the Japanese Audio is on the DragonBox as opposed to FUNimation's discs.

Not with the movie box. :P The audio difference is VERY noticable.

He means in a low-res compressed ideo file it would be harder to get an idea of the true quality, I suggest something similar to what I've said before: have some smaller high-quality samples for comparrison.

Hey guys, just an update. I had a root canal today, so I'm in rough shape. I may very well be under the influence of pain meds all weekend, so this is gonna be delayed I'm guessing.

Sorry, I will get to it eventually >_<;;
