Yeah, you're right about the "english-language release" comment, but the french dvds were, and so will the french BD's be.

Thanks for this update!

Sucks that this is another one of those songs which are only used by TV series and never have a full version (wish they'd too put out Bad Teacher's theme song & Ray Donovan's Sunny songs in their complete forms), but this is going to be the exception. :D

The intro of the song sounds pretty cool but then it just keeps on looping and looping, my god, I had too much of high expectations for this song. :|

Wish Knife Party had done it instead or Skrillex.

I will quit Dragon Ball the day Skrillex has anything to do with the franchise.

So it appears this will air at 12am, oh and they are now airing the dubbed version of InuYasha: Final Act too at 2am.

And for anyone who may not have seen it, here's the new Kai promo that apparently aired last night during the re-airing of Cooler's Revenge.

Man, I'm pumped! Well...as...pumped as I can be for a show I've seen before...and own it's DVD's...and honestly can't even tune in due to the freakin' Dish issues going on right now...but besides that I'm pumped! :P

The people in charge of making promos on Toonami should get a raise. I don't know what they're getting paid, but whatever they're getting paid, it's not enough. They have always done such a good job with the promos!
A "rather haggard" translation of a line from Future Gohan in DBZ, provided to FUNimation by Toei:
"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

From what's been said, they don't get paid for Toonami at all, they just do it on the side while working on other Adult Swim stuff.

Just like any other Toonami show, yes.

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!"

Haven't watched Z in years, and haven't watched a single episode of Kai. So pumped.

I just desperately hope that this doesn't mean FUNimation's going to withhold releasing the Buu arc until Toonami gets there, because at 1 episode a week that won't be until around 2016. :|

Even though I'm not fan of english dub the new promo is badass.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.
