I will, not doubt about it. I also managed to retrieve Chapter 36 from the Son Goku arc, since they re-uploaded the second half of the arc (by removing the first half), so now I have all the MangaPolo videos up until now!
Now I can't wait for them to finish Freeza arc, and start with Cell & Boo arcs once they get a physical release. When they complete the whole manga, I'm gonna watch all the videos like they are episodes.

Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.
Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

So, um...I just read the latest chapter released by Viz for Shonen Jump, and...Popo's lips are back? Did I miss something, or are we going fully unedited now (in terms of art)?

They're still missing in mine. Even cross referenced with the JPN full color. One of his expressions looks horrible without them.
I love you love Mashirito.

Thats even worse than keeping it edited. Going back and forth, back and forth. Either keep it edited or keep it unedited otherwise the product as a whole just looks sloppily handled.

They're still edited out in that picture. That's just the inside of Popo's mouth. Perhaps it's been colored differently, I'm slightly color blind.
I love you love Mashirito.

It's edited. Couldn't be bothered setting up my scanner for my Full Color Comics, so I took a photo, but here's a comparison:

Ah. Nevermind then. Leave it to me to make a mistake the one time I flip through the Full Color edition. xD

I saw that yesterday, and couldn't believe it. It's almost as if his lips are back, but they redrew his mouth so it was closed?? The expression on his face in those shots looks horrible now.

I say they should go for it.
Is it possible to watch DBZ with epilepsy?

You can take a photo and make it look like one of the iconic scenes from the manga(Piccolo's Makankosappo, Kuririn's Taiyoken, Vegeta's Gyarikku-Ho, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT KURIRIN, and the Father-Son Kamehameha). You can share your photo on sites like Facebook and vote for which is the best. The example video for the Father-son Kamehameha scene gives us a look at the
Cell arc.

These videos also prove that at least up through the Cell arc has been colorized. Good stuff.
We'll probably see a release announcement of these soon.
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

We already kinda knew that the whole thing seems to be colored, or at least parts of the later arcs. Chozenshu 4's series timeline uses the Full Color version on the manga content pages, with colored panels from Early DB, all the way to the Buu Arc.
Sorry the quality is so shitty, but it's the middle of the night and I'm not using a proper camera.

Son of a bitch those colorings are absolutely fantastic. Its a shame the content itself is just a copy and paste of the VIZBIG editions. I seriously dont see why they just release this uncensored. I mean Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Rurouni Kenshin, and other series get unedited releases so why cant DBZ?

There's is also the
GENKIDAMA video and I think they have been selling posters with Full Color Boo arc images. We first saw full color stuff in 09 so I think they have been sitting on these for awhile.

Well, it is never too late to complain directly to Viz.

Yeah, the print release is still quite a way's off (Feb 2014.)
It's never too soon to contact Viz and let them know you want this uncensored!
Since I feel that I can't really trust them after the first 3-in-1 issues, I've been contacting them via Twitter to let them know folks want it as unedited as possible and with a more appropriate font for the physical release. Of course, feel free to contact via other means (letter, email, Facebook.)

Cool, a full-colored Oob on Kinto-un. So pretty sure they're gonna use the Kanzenban ending (well we already knew they were using the Kanzenban as a basis if we take into account the "WELLCOME/WEL COME" sign on Enma's palace).

Well, so far it's only Mr. Popo's lips that are edited (which happened in the SJ run too, even the most uncut version of it), but letting Viz know right off the bat that we want an uncensored release does sound good to me.
RIDER KIIIIIIICK!
