It's convenient for me, though. Bwahahaha.

(Eventually, I'll cave, and end up getting all the Dragon Boxes...)

I'm still gonna get it to make up for the bleached colors of Season 2 and I think some of three but I don't know. Also for the Ginyu episodes especially Goku being so awesome against them.

Gohan is so darn cute here lol.
The video looks great and it's too bad these aren't region 2 enabled.

Then the 3rd set should have up until around Freeza's defeat on Earth?

Seems about right.

Yeah, the third will largely be Goku's battle with Freeza. Shows you just how long they stretched that out.

Well, my sister has told me she's getting me a multi-region DVD player for Christmas, so I'm sweeeeeet.

Which means, not only Dragon Ball, but I can also get One Piece heading my way.

I'm a bit worried about these Amazon issues though, since they just shipped mine from there yesterday.

It seems to be a .com thing as Amazon.ca doesn't have any such message.

As my Dragon Box order was shipped yesterday, I've still got to wait roughly a week before I get it in hand, though I did see six copies on the shelf at Future Shop today, though they were more expensive than the Amazon price. I'm glad the wait between releases won't be ridiculous.

So, if FUNimation maintains a similar release schedule, the seventh and final Z Dragon Box should come out around this time 2011?

Nah, they'll finish it by next year.
November = DBOX1
February - DBOX 2
May = DBOX 3
July = DBOX 4
October DBOX 5
December DBOX 6
February = Final box

Okay, maybe early 2011.

Overview of the packaging, part 2 will consist of a "VS" battle.

Dammit... thanks to some issues with the bank, my order will arrive a week later! That's 15th December!

Even though I just got an Email telling they just shipped it! Why it's taking this long?!

Anyway, that gives more time to get the Holiday money along with my monthly allowance to fix my goddamn laptop.

Box two will be in February? Can't wait for it

I just finished disc 4 and I have not noticed anything wrong with the dub. I didn't really see anything wrong with the YouTube video. But I watched it(the YouTube video) on my iPhone so that might have played a part in why it seemed fine.

Daimo-Rukiri · Post by **Daimo-Rukiri** » Thu Nov 19, 2009 2:54 am

For part 2 of my video should I do a side by side comparison or go full blown quality?

This is the guy showing examples of sync-issues on the Dragon Box. I have no idea if it's just his or it's everybody's, but he really wants someone to check.

Is this footage really from the dragon box? This footage looks like it was taken from the season one set.

...Except for the fact that the sky is green and its in 4:3.

Probably whatever capture method he used effed it up.

It's Dragon Box, just very bright.

Yes I did notice that its in 4:3 I'm just surprised that it looks really bright.

So, having finally gotten a chance to start watching my set, I'm going to note something I don't believe I've seen anyone else mention yet.

The Japanese credits are correct! Up through episode 5, at least. They haven't messed anything up and used the wrong credits on the wrong episodes.

This was my biggest fear about the set (after learning that they weren't blank or translated, anyway), so now I can finally give them the Rachel Seal of Approval. I know most people don't notice or care about that sort of thing, but I did see a couple people ask about it a few pages back, so I know I'm not the only one who was concerned.

Daimo-Rukiri · Post by **Daimo-Rukiri** » Thu Nov 19, 2009 5:44 am

So, has anyone tried promoting the box set? My idea was to upload select episodes and clips all at user request.

Wonder how long FUNi or Toei would take to get that removed from YouTube

Daimo-Rukiri · Post by **Daimo-Rukiri** » Thu Nov 19, 2009 6:03 am

Name them correctly lol, I have like 2 DBOXZ episodes uploaded and it's been a few months.

Post by **TripleRach** » Thu Nov 19, 2009 6:33 am

What you do on Youtube or wherever else is your business, but this is definitely not the place to discuss uploading full episodes.

ACCloud · Post by **ACCloud** » Thu Nov 19, 2009 6:48 am

While full episodes are definately out of the question, I would personally very much like to see some DBOX/Season Set/UU/etc. comparisons in your next vid Daimo-Rukiri. Pictures are one thing, but seeing the show in motion seems to be a completely different beast (particularly in fight scenes).

And...also I just wanna see some more DBOX footage while I wait for Australia Post to get their act together and deliver my DBOX...16 days and counting since Rightstuf shipped it...
