Like every Disney sequel. Ever. For all time. With no exceptions. At all.

Sorry for the bad grammar, EX; it was only done to make a point. Really. It was. No kidding. Seriously. Although now I'm just being a shit. :P

What about "Toy Story 2"? That was a Disney sequel that wasn't DTV Dayspring :P

And uh... to get Semi On-topic... I hope that Madman decides to release the Ultimate Uncut Editions... Heck, I hope they re-release the Ginyu to Saiyaman sagas. Damn English only DVD's... And now I'm drifting off topic again. *hides* ^^;;

That was Pixar's baby, though. Disney's working on its own sequel now, and that'll probably be direct-to-video as well.

And, yeah... back on-topic, please.

So Julian, how are things going right now, gotten back to the stand yet to ask your remaining questions?

Just to add to the subject of One Piece for a second...
Madman Australia announced some time ago they got the rights for it and that it will be uncut and billingual and released late in the year.
Sounds like those Funi reps aren't too well informed.

Oh, well, maybe I'll see you tommorow.

(BTW, Jersey - Full report Tuesday)
Yep, I had to leave quite early & I didn't get to see Julian at the Karaoke Contest due to fellow animation club members.

Uncut OP DVDs have long been confirmed. What hasn't been confirmed is any window of release. Also note how he referred to uncut DVD's as "those things".

Naw, the site is multi-lingual. It checks your browser settings and changes the language accordingly. There's a Polish one too.
It's party time, Ginyu style!

Damn, damn, damn! Had I known this sooner, I could have made early plans and actually attended. Ah well, maybe next year.

Hey, I was at Anime Boston on Saturday! I'm sad I didn't get to run into you, SaiyaJedi. Maybe we'll see each other at AB2K6? I'm also sad that I saw a cell of Goku and Bulma (unframed, no background)from the 10th anniversary movie for only $50 and didn't buy it :cry:
There also were some Daizenshuu at an auction I couldn't participate in :cry:

At least I got to meet Melissa Fahn and Johnny Yong Bosch, hung out with people cosplaying as Ed (from Cowboy Bebop), Chun-Li, Tifa Lockheart and STRONG BAD! Plus that "the dubs that time forgot" thing was funny.

Bosch = Cool, but wilfully hanging out with Cosplayer's, especially ones dressed up like Chun Li, Ed, and Tifa Lockheart... well, that signs away your rights to call yourself anything but a fanboy/girl enabler.
Because of this, you've been scheduled for termination. Good day.
