What about the translation? Does Piccolo have that Shakespearean dialogue like when he speaks to Raditz? Do they pronounce Satan, Buu, and Vegito as the H word, Boo the Djinn, and ugh..Veggerot? I could have sworn they renamed Piccolo's Makankosappo/Special Beam Cannon to Light of Death as well.rereboy wrote:Yeah, there's no real significant differences regarding content (there some tiny differences, but hardly significant), but they don't have any color pages printed in color.
Yeah, pretty sure that stuff'll be there. As far as I know, Viz has only ever used one translation for the series across all of their releases.KentalSSJ6 wrote:What about the translation?

For me, I absolutely and utterly DESPISE any and all censorship in a product. For me, its the original intended product or nothing at all which is why I don't own the manga yet. Call me a purist if the term fits. I have seen Viz's translation in the Vizbigs and it simply does not do it for me because I still know theres content in there thats been changed from the original Japanese release. Back then I could understand but today there is NO excuse why its stilling be messed with when series under Viz such as Ruruouni Kenshin, Naruto, and Bleach are release untouched and have violence that can put DBZ to shame. It just baffles me why Viz does this.rereboy wrote:I wouldn't hold my breath.
And honestly, Viz's translation is pretty good. Its not flawless or excellent, but it honestly is pretty good.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. 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!"
I actually have a absolutely amazing online version I go to which is more or less a near perfect translation of the original Kanzenban's. Sadly I cant post a link or any more info as that would be endorsing technically illegal versions of the manga. Even with access to that though, I still prefer physical copies to digital so it seems I'm in a lose lose situation till Viz gives the manga its proper release.Gonstead wrote:At least with the Viz releases, you don't have to rely on those shitty scanlations found online.
Unless you're going to go through the effort to learn Japanese and buy up the original Japanese version, the Viz release is all there is available for an English version and most likely will remain so for a long, long time.
I don't know if BoG played any role into this, but there are currently 4 scanlating groups that are doing some very good scanlations of the (Kanzenban) manga.Gonstead wrote:At least with the Viz releases, you don't have to rely on those shitty scanlations found online.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. 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.
Its your choice. If you'd like the manga but you are willing to deprive yourself of that on the off-chance that Viz releases a version of the manga with marginally superior translation (it can't be that much better since the one that exists is already pretty good, the only significant improvements are minor details), its your call.KentalSSJ6 wrote:It just rubs me the wrong way. Even small changes get me going such as the name changes. I know it sounds ridiculous but even that's enough to keep me from buying it.
The manga cut of a series that wasn't based on any manga? Technically, but not having anything, we already do have that.KentalSSJ6 wrote:I wonder if well ever get a GT Kai.
Or a Level Set treatment. Even Kai doesn't look all that great. I'd be okay with just the Dragon Box, it still looks good on an HDTV.KentalSSJ6 wrote:Not to mention a Bluray facelift (the Kai treatment, not the recent bluray season treatment)
