The title from the American Dragon Box (at least the way it is in the Dragon Book) is "Mini-Goku is an Overprotected Boy! I Am Gohan".

I don't know Japanese but being on this forum for almost 10 years, I've come to realize that when translating something from Japanese, there's usually more than one way it can be interpreted. Different people will translate it however they feel is appropriate, just look at the 1997 release of Dead Zone compared to the 2005 version. The subtitles are almost completely different, and also check out the differences in the opening and closing song lyrics... http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtop ... 208&hilit=

The subtitles for the first episode title on the U.S. DBOX vol 1 also read "Mini-Goku is an Overprotected Boy! I Am Gohan", while episode 4's title according to FUNi's subtitles is "Piccolo’s Trump Card! Gohan, the Crybaby-kun" so it's possible FUNimation got part of the translation episode 1's title mixed up with episode 4's title.
If anyone has any of the DB/DBZ/DBGT or Maho Tsuaki Sally Japanese single DVD's that they'd be interested in selling send me a PM and I'll see if we can work something out. ;).

Meanwhile, back in Spain, they're now caught up with 2007 with their version of the Orange Bricks. Except these will henceforth be known and the White Bricks, and are in 4:3 :P

Judging from the comparison shots it seems Selecta Visión did some color correction work on the footage (though the colors look either a bit too dulled or too dark as a result), but at the same time they also appear to have blurred the footage (probably to make the footage appear less grainy).
