So let's see. They first tell us "You think you know GT? YOU DON'T KNOW GT!" and now they tell us this is Dragon Ball Z the way it was meant to be seen.

Boy, FUNimation sure is insulting the intelligence of Dragon Ball fans. o_O

And my respect for FUNimation continues to plummet.

Yeah, well most DragonballZ fans ARE stupid I'm afraid.

Especially since a year (more, I think) ago, the Ultimate Uncut Editions were also advertised as "The way it was meant to be seen." FUNimation sure likes that phrase

Well, to their credit, the Ultimate Uncuts were the way it was meant to be seen.

The new sets are "a more cinematic viewing experience."

Yeah, point being they advertised both as "the way it was meant to be seen."

I guess I should be glad they didn't use random katakana this time to appear "hardcore" >_>;;

Also, as much as the orange packaging hurts the eyes, it's much better than the red/black combo they used for the first seven Ultimate Uncut DVDs.

Oh, I'm talking solely about the advertising. When FUNimation advertised the UUE's, they posted an online commercial which had random katakana. I wish it was still up, but I can't find it on YouTube.

Here's the archived news post about it, look at the 20th, and here's the post where we made fun of it.

Random katakana:

And the actual video.
I hope FUNimation doesn't have it removed like my other video.

I liked the Ultimate Uncut advertisements and the packaging. A lot better than Season One's.

First you're praising and defending season 1 like no tommorow, regardless of what facts are thrown at you, now you're suddenly "only buying seasons 1-3" and finding reasons to throw a minor bashing. Interesting lightswitch. Well, it's your opinions. >>

About that Katakana, looks basically like FUNi just typed the words out in English in a WS-Japanese font that any common computer has available.

You must have read wrong. Or, you don't care enough to support your claims.

I said I WILL buy up until AT LEAST season 3. I've said this before today as well.

I've never said I didn't like the Ultimate Uncut Packaging and advertisements. Do I like the actual thing? Not as much as Season One.

I said I liked the "Ultimate Uncut" Packaging MORE than season one's. I DIDN'T say I liked the PRODUCT more.

Please stop harassing me.

Oh wow, Funimation, you surprise me by the minute. I was tricked by you again! I didn't know that was gibberish until now. I have lost a lot of respect for them these past months. Can't they get anything right with Dragonball Z?

I actually thought those trailers were pretty cool, I had no idea that the Japanese was gibberish (Until a year or so later where I discovered Goku's name has only three characters. Three)

Really, though, the only people who will notice/care about the random Japanese letters will be the ones who're going to buy the JPN versions anyway. It's not like FUNi's losing anyone.

We'll actually, they've already lost everyone, seeing as that series is now discontinued. :P

Where the hell do you get me harassing you from? I simply assumed you'd changed your mind about the season sets with your desire to only go as far as seasons 1-3, and your preference in packaging gave me the feeling (apparently misinterpreted) that you suddenly light-switched in feelings about the season sets. I called you up on that and while I would've preferred a mature reply, you give me an explanation combined with some unneeded smart-ass BS trying to make me out to be the bad guy. I hope you had fun. >_>

Here's a funny dbz web related story I just remembered..

One time this person submitted his site to be added to my links page and the logo had that "english with an MS word japanese font" on it. I told the person that the japanese was wrong and even gave him a proper katakana chart to correct him. He went all apeshit telling me it was wrong and I should get a new japanese dictionary and that he was right because MS word said so.

I never heard from the kid again.
