At least the end credits show who voiced on the show, although not that they actually show WHO voiced WHO though :L

But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Dang! I did not realize that Right stuff dropped that much! Amazon hurry up :D

I just traded in $40 worth of older DVD's and Blu Ray so it wont be too expensive..but if the price could drop a bit more (it was down to $60 when it was listed) that would be awesome lol

Rightstuf was actually always at that price :)

I hear that with trading stuff in. Amazon originally had it listed for that $59.99 USD price tag.

Perhaps you can get them to price match?

Lots of cartoons do that, either due to small cast, and lots of characters, or they just do it. Pup Named Scooby Doo was one of the ones that credited biggest stars before everyone else. Heck, Naruto's Toonami credits while at first listed everybody directly, after the Zabuza arc, would just directly credit Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, then additional voices. Even for the eps Sasuke and Sakura didn't appear in.

Hey, I just wanna make a correction to something I said in that dissection I did. It seems those Goku bumpers (don't go away\welcome back) aren't JUST in the Tree of Might movie. They're also in the later episodes on this set.

Yeah, I saw them on the last three episodes of Disc 4. I believe that's the last Saiyan Arc episode and the first two Namek Arc ones.

I don't believe Gohan peeing on Krillin in Movie 1 was cut on Australian Cartoon Network. At least not completely, there was definitely enough footage there to tell what just happened.

IIRC, Australian CN didn't cover up nude Gohan in movie three either.

"Over saturation is easy. Just drag the slider to the right and there you are: instant interest. And certainly, the majority of the public likes saturated color images. In fact, if you want to quickly create a popular image, simply over saturate the colors and increase the contrast. While you may not achieve a sophisticated image, you will achieve an image that will please a less demanding audience." - Alain Briot

The mysterious wobbling bush? Pretty sure that was still there.

When was this? Since the last airing I recorded back from 2009 of the TV version had nude Gohan covered up.

Did he say "Hey kids..." before saying "Don't go away" in the first half? Because I have a recording (posted on here earlier) that has it.

Never really was into the original Ocean dub, and I'm perfectly content with my Dragonboxes, so I don't think I'll be getting this. The only thing that would make me consider getting this is if it's a limited release, especially if it goes into Dbox Vol. 2 type of rare. And it wouldn't even be for how much I can sell it for, it would be just to know that I own another rare DBZ item.

Release those Westwood/Ocean dubs made for the UK and Canada, then you'll have a potential customer in me, because this have never had a home release before.

I know this probably won't ever happen, but the dub collector in me can dare to dream, eh?
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

It is officially monikered a "limited edition", yes?

It might become rare at some point, then. That being said, it probably won't be nearly as absurdly collectible as Dragon Box 2. The only full-on "exclusive" this has over the Pioneer R1s (As in, not counting minor things like eyecatchs, NEPs, and original episode title cards) is the TV version Tree of Might, which is a good bit more niche than, say, the first R1 DVD box set of the Namek arc in it's original aspect ratio and decent video quality vs. the Orange Bricks. The Pioneer R1s will keep this in check, because people who can't get "Rock the Dragon" will probably search for them as an alternative.

Well mine is due to arrive next week. I'm thinking of watching it all then continuing with the original Ginyu Assault DVD before transitioning into the Orange Bricks :)

This past weekend, I went to San Japan and got to meet Scott McNeil in person, and I asked him to sign my copy of the Rock The Dragon Edition. Right before he signed it, he wanted to check it out, and thought it was cool. I also asked him to do a shout out to the Kanzenshuu team in his Piccolo voice as well when I was recording him signing it.

Yeah I'm doing the same thing. I got mine today and they're great. I'm particularly impressed with how well the voice acting holds up even today. But yeah, my preferred English run of Dragon Ball is basically the Ocean Episodes until "Ginyu Assault", then "Kai" for everything up until the Android Arc, then the Orange Bricks for the rest of the show. I love my Dragon Boxes, but I'm really glad to have my favourite dub of the show.
