It's not a mustache. It's basically a tattoo and kind of a major-ish plot point. Just keep watching.

Came in to say the same thing.

Valid questions are one thing, but all the meanwhile blatantly showing off that you're pirating the series? Not OK.

Because he was jealous of the pringles guy, or it's a branding of some sort, or... It's an awful wrinkle.

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less about the fans a re-issue might alienate because if all they're concerned about is being able to scalp the people who were either unaware of the Dragon Boxes or couldn't afford them at the time, they're just leeches and deserve to have their greed backfire on them.

Well, I don't know myself, but the Orange Bricks are infamous for being extremely cropped on the top and bottom side, and having saturated colors. So, if I had to guess, he/she guessed based on that.

Uh, it's an "M" for Ma---


Oh. Ohhhhh, that was... a joke.

I see.

But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Never once have I ever looked at that and saw a moustache. Some people have the strangest eyes.

It's cropped, you can see the bottom of the window in the shot. Also, DBNL's Dragon Box release looks like garbage and the colours don't look like that.

And the [DR] on the title shows that it's from the Orange Bricks.

You mean the Orange Bricks don't natively come in Matroska format?

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!"

My apologies all for not properly cropping out the title bar of vlc. I know it looks bad but for all anyone knows, I have the whole series on VHS but no longer have a working VCR, so I downloaded it. That's not true I just made that up BUT, since revisiting this epic series years later I have become a huge fan and I fully intend to purchase the dvd's. Besides, the series is twenty some years old. After this many years the money's been made and it should almost be public domain. There's full episodes on youtube for crying out loud.

I don't agree with stealing from artist's and my belief is if you appreciate something, buy it. Pirated music/movies/shows are the reason why I now own literally tens of thousands of dollars worth of vinyl records, dvd's, and blu-rays. Many (intelligent) artist's release their OWN albums for free because they know it will allow their music to be heard by more people, in turn generating more fans who wish to go to their concerts and buy their albums on vinyl along with t-shirts.

Also, I have no idea what Orange Bricks are. And big thanks to Marco Polo for proving that the 'M' on Spopovitch's head does in fact look like a moustache. **** you to whoever said it didn't. I now know that it's just an 'M' for Majin, but for a couple episodes I was seriously wondering wtf.

The current copyright term is 95 years, so your estimate is off by just a bit.
