I know you're all gonna get nitpicky and possibly nerdrage over this, but have you seen the "All Action, No Filler!" thing that they added to the cover of Z Kai Season 1 Part 2?

I'm pretty sure that's the slipcover now and the cover we've already seen is what'll be on the plastic case. They're probably doing this to help with confused people who don't know the difference between the Dragonbox and the Kai releases. I mean, I still get plenty of people messaging me or commenting on my YouTube videos asking me, "Is the Dragonbox the one with Kai on it?"

Because nobody knows how to use Google anymore... :roll:

False advertising at its best.


EDIT: Changed 'advertisement' to 'advertising'.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. It seems true enough to me. Sure a few taglines are over simplified, but that's what you NEED to get through to the lug-headed public. At least there are no bold-faced lies like with the Season Set promo.

I kind of like the new banner. It'll let people know what's up. I can't tell you how many people I've had to correct or inform about DBZ Kai, over on YouTube.

Also, I like the props to Toriyama right there on the cover. Other than in the fine print and credits, how many times has FUNimation even acknowledged the original creator?

HAHA! The predictability astounds me.

The 'no filler' line is what I'd call as being false, because no matter how to swim around it, it's still there. Not as much as it use to be, but still there.

At least they're trying, though!!

I really really want to write a paragraph in response. But there's really no other way of saying this.

You are being nitpicky.

Like, seriously. SERIOUSLY. Sickeningly.

Nitpicky.


Also, there's not enough room to say "Most of the filler is gone. Like the real boring stuff. But a few moments of non-canonical events are retained. Such as Goku saving Gohan from the waterfall and Ginyu taking over Bulma's body."

I think you're getting worked up over nothing. I'm not posting paragraphs upon paragrash decrying their choice.

I'm not getting worked up. I'm responding to something that you said, that I felt was incredibly bull-headed. Also, I didn't actually respond with paragraph upon paragraphs. Unless something REALLY gets my goat, I'm much to lazy for that. :P

My only problem with the new cover is that Vol. 1 didn't have it...so besides that I'm assuming they'd all have it. I'm hoping it's a cover slip. Not a big deal though.

I don't think that banner is actually going to be attached to the DVD/Blu-Ray. Every Dragon Ball Z Kai listing on Amazon.com has it.

Interesting!

Maybe it'll be on the shrinkwrap if it's anywhere.

Didn't FUNimation have a poll to decide which banner would be the best to use? If so, I'm guessing that banner won, and now their using it for promotional reasons.

Ugh, that "Toriyama's Original Vision" crap reeks of George Lucas. But, yeah, I still occasionally get those questions in my YouTube comments as well.

Dragon Ball Z Kai 2 back cover has been revealed!
Kai Is Awesome!
That Vegeta armor is kind of an error

Isn't that an image from the Cell arc?
AND, they used that in Dragon Box Two for the Perfect Guide and Profile of Goku family.
Bleh.

Yeah, it's kind of an error but it's became a trend in US and Japan.

Vegeta looks weird on that back cover, not to mention his armour is wrong. FUNimation has made that mistake once before, so I doubt they realise it.

It's not only FUNi, Toei also do that, it looks like the Freeza arc armor will never be use on the media except toys!

Phew. I like that banner much, much better. Wish you could have gotten them to excise that "original vision" tripe, though.
