DB Movie One Comes Back To DVD, Says Otaku USA, Rightstuf

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

It's obvious the season sets are aimed at the dub fans it's possible we'll get a release aimed at fans of the original series.

We did, it's called the Dragon Box sets.


If you're talking about the GT and Dragon Ball season sets, it's safe to say that they were aimed at fans of the original since they dubbed the songs and all.

I'd totally by a Dragon Ball GT Dragon Box, it's got a lot of things I like, even if the series is on average...yeah.

Apart from the next episode previews, you're not missing out on much with the GT season sets. GT is not going to look that much better with a Dragon Box release.

Noooooo, they left out the 2nd opening and 1st, 3rd and 4th ending animations.

Oh yeah, and NEPs, we want those too! Right...?

You have a point, but that's not going to make FUNi release the whole series again.


Well, I dunno; they have been milking DB a lot.

Sure it is, because purists, like me and seemingly like The Time Traveller, will be willing to spend money on them. And FUNimation wants money. The money they're missing out on by flawed releases like the season sets.

You can't honestly compare the Z season sets' flaws to the GT and Dragon Ball season sets' flaws. Apart from the missing next episode previews on the GT sets and the missing alternate OP/ED on the Dragon Ball sets, those releases are very good.

[Gaffer Tape]

They're decent. They're watchable. I've already stated they're much better than the Z sets. The GT sets are worse than the singles. The DB sets have better bitrate and progressive encode, but content-wise, they're also worse than their predecessors. So, in terms of completeness of content, every season set has been worse than what came before it. Their only draw is the episode counts and price points. I won't deny those are pretty good draws, but they're just good enough for me to spend my money on. As a consumer, I can make that choice, and hopefully the free market will prevail... with Dragon Boxes, which, while still slightly flawed, are a release I can comfortably get behind.

What did the old DB sets have that the new ones don't?

[Undercooked Sausage]

As far as I know, the only thing they had that the season sets don't is english dub subtitles along with the japanese subtitles.

Do you mean closed captions? That's not really much of a difference from the season sets.

[Gaffer Tape]

I was referring to the Japanese title cards. Not much, but, again, that's more in line with what I want, and the higher bitrate and better encode of the season sets aren't enough of a draw for me to rebuy them. Not when a Dragon Box could be coming, and not when I can find the old 2-disc sets for 4.95 at a used bookstore. The season sets, overall, are better from a technological standpoint, but it's not enough for me to warrant dropping down that much money on them. It's the difference between one incomplete release and another incomplete release, but one of those incomplete releases is cheaper and is less polluted by the English version. Wake me when there's a definitive Dragon Box release. I'd be more than willing to shell out $50 a pop on those puppies!

As for this movie, same thing. If it's Dragon Box quality... eh, I might still wait and see if we don't actually get a boxset of it. But if it's not, I'll pass.

[DbzFanboy]

Ok i'm guessing they re-dubbed this a while ago and are now releasing it because if you go on rightstuf.com the same day they are releasing this movie is the day dragon ball season 5 comes out. They don't want to miss out on the buzz of the dragon ball season sets so they figure fans will pick up dragon ball season 5 and say "hey let me just make the whole collection and pick up this brand new movie curse of the blood rubies." Thats just my opinion.

[Baby Naruto]

Will it get a redub too?

Considering it was previously dubbed with the Ocean cast, and that it was heavily censored, those are two strikes against it. I don't think there's any doubt it will be redubbed. But who will be Goku, I wonder

They better.......

Finally! Could this be the start of the DragonBox movie releases? Do they just have the DBZ movies or all the DB movies?

They have all of the movies now. The only things we're not sure about them owning now are all of those special animations. It would be nice if FUNi could get those too....

It would be nice to see those dubbed by FUNi.

But who will be Goku, I wonder?

My guess is Colleen Clinkenbeard since she's voicing Gohan in Kai, but who knows?

I guess so?

The dub could've been done years ago, and they've been hoarding it for themselves...

Well, they did that with Dragon Ball Z movie 12. The only reason we knew it was dubbed already was because a scene from it was shown in some kind of top 10 best fights thing. It was an extra on some disc, when FUNimation was just releasing movie 9 or 10.

I didnt know that (I own that DVD of 10 best fights).

Pros: We will get it bilingual and uncut.

Cons: Not a Double Feature Steel cased release ala the Z movies. ((Not a problem for me since I have the movies 2,3 and 4 set))

Yah, I was really hoping for 2 steel double features too .

Anyway I am the one who posted that scan, and it sadly didn't say any specs on the boxsets. But the whole article was ranting a lot about how the dub on the dvd sucks and that is that same dub as before except uncut for some reason.

That cant possible be uncut then, if it has the edited dub audio track.

Here is a better look at the article. It says nothing of a release date other then "available now". Very odd. This is the June issue so perhaps this DVD is coming out in June. But if that were true, we (of all people on the Internet) would have known about this by now!

Thanks a lot for the bigger picture .

I still maintain that the stuff about the Ocean Dub is an error. There's no way they could have gotten the dub to sync with the uncut footage.

Same here, Ocean Dub cant possibly be made uncut.

Now that I've seen the actual article, my first thought is, "April Fool's?" Sure, it's the June issue, but it's out now, at the beginning of April. But I don't really know if this is the type of magazine that would do April Fool's jokes.

I guess my second thought would be, "What the hell?" An uncut dub that was apparently done at least 15 years ago? A mysterious DVD that is already available or will be very soon? If I were saying this out loud, the rest of this post would end up as indecipherable noises like "Blaaaaaaagh wuuuugh."

Yah, this just doesn't make sense, hopefully FUNimation will clear this all up soon via an announcement.

http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827 ... 7247/4/0/0

We have a release date and price: July 27th, $14.98.

Nice, I know what I'll be getting in July .

I wouldn't go counting out a DB Dragon Box. If Funimation thinks they can turn a profit from something DB-related, you can bet they will eventually

I wouldn't go for a GT Box either. Nobody cares that much about GT to justify buying it twice.

I care enough lol. I plan on buying both green bricks of DBGT and the DragonBox version if that ever comes to the U.S.

Clinkenbeard maybe? She voiced baby and child Gokuh in Kai.

Also... This Daryl person needs to do a bit more research. This movie was dubbed by BLT Productions not Ocean Productions. And what's his deal with them anyways? "'Mediocre' at best"? Death Note's dub "so-so"? I always watch Death Note in Japanese, and yet I still thought the dub was absolutely great. Nana too! Blah... Ridiculous.

Yeah, I dunno. Maybe it's just me, but I don't trust this article. For FUNi to recycle the old dub, just seems........ weird.

[linkdude20002001]

Unless their just being cheap. I mean, who knows? Maybe they have an uncut version of the old dub. They did say they dubbed it before the series, then added footage from episode two as an afterthought.

I'm thinking this. They could have flat out dubbed it and then chopped it up to meet TV standards later. During the chopping process they could have said to themselves "Oh y'know what would be cool here?" and added clips from the TV show.

[penguintruth]

As much as I adore some (SOME) of the Ocean voices for DB/Z, it would be very bizarre for Funimation, who has gone out of its way to phase out the Ocean years, to suddenly re-release something with an Ocean dub on it. A safe bet would be that it's been redubbed.

Exactly this. That's why something's fishy about that article.

Yeah. It's a complete possibility. I mean, just 'cause this guy has bad taste in dubbing doesn't mean he's crazy. If he says it's the original 1995 cast, he's probably right. Unless...he just notices that the voices are different and assumes it's the original 1995 dub. For all we know, FUNi re-dubbed it with Clinkenbeard as Gokuh and Rial as Bulma, and this Daryl person thinks it's the old dub.

[DbzFanboy]

I'm hoping funimation actually does re-dub this movie as well as dragon ball movies 2 and 3 so then they will consider including all the dragon ball movies in their movie dragon box. Who knows maybe that's there plan, to release the 3 dragon ball movies re-dubbed and then once they finish the dragon boxes of the television show then release the movie dragon box.
