It is weird from time to time and anything could happen for no reason. I'm not gonna say more.
Sounds like something I would watch :D

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!"

Do you have any other thoughts about potential new titles from FUNimation?
I would love Dragon Box versions of the original Dragon Ball series, Dragon Ball GT, and the movies in either DVD or BluRay.

Wow! I have no idea what 1 of those Anime's are :lol: But I typed in
Dragonball Dragon-box
Dragonball GT Dragon-box
Black lagoon roberta's blood trail
So maybe if enough people say they want more of the Dragon-boxes, we might get them?
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Didn't know any of the anime they listed :lol: , so I just wrote them this:
It would be very nice if you guys got the license for a Dr. Slump dub, Its made be the same guy who made Dragon Ball, and you guys own the North American rights for Dragon Ball, so why not? Also, it would be really cool if you guys got the Dragon Box masters for the original Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT, that would be great! (Either that, or a DBZ-styled Blu-Ray remaster for the both of them, that would still be great either way!)

Kinda surprised some of you guys haven't heard of Last Exile (Franchise been around for a decade and the original is licensed by FUNi.), Guilty Crown or even Betrayal Knows My Name.

Anyways, this is our chance to get our voices heard. If you've longed for the DB/GT Dragon Boxes, submit your survey. If we get a couple hundred fans showing interest in a simple survey like this, they may give it a bit more thought. (Hopefully.)

Edit:

Well, looks like that's out of the question. I made one little wall post on Facebook suggesting the DB/GT Dragon Boxes and BOY did the haters come out of the wood work. I am literally the only person supporting Dragon Ball. Sad thing is, these fools don't even realize that without Dragon Ball, there would be no FUNimation.

Here's the link if anyone wants to help back me up.

FaceBook... :?

Something I've noticed about the English Dragon Ball Fanbase, is that they don't really like the original Dragon Ball series at all, a few do, but not most.

I've got the Z Boxes now I want the rest, FUNimation! : D

These morons are so bad I had to block them. Almost as bad as YT comments. Some of them type so poorly I can not understand what's even being said and was forced to block them. The others don't even know about the company who's FB wall they're commenting on.

Please, for the love of Kami, don't egg him on. Mike already asked him to stop. That is more than enough.

I said to a guy about how I would love them if they did Dr. Slump. He said he likes it too, but the problem is it's an older series. Older anime don't sell that well in the States for some reason, besides Voltron, though that might've been a nostalgia thing. That seems to be the prob with why they haven't done Dr. Slump. Only ones on that list I knew were the sequels to Baka and Test and Last Exile, both of which I've never seen. Do wonder about some of the others though I wonder if any might turn out to be like what I consider Funimation's worst property "Master of Martial Hearts". Even the bad parts of DBZ season 3 is better than that show. (Though more it's not a bad dub, but it's a bad show with a particular premise, then an out of nowhere dark plot twist that results in people going, "Oh my god. What the f$%#?")

At the moment only Funimation thing I'm thinking of getting now is Sekirei season 2, once I save up some more cash. And have all of DB minus GT so, off to suggest jump special, and Sailor Moon re-release.

Just asked for the Dragon Boxes and recent specials to be released like most everyone else. ;)

If enough people ask for the Dragonball Dragon-Box, what's the chances of Funimation doing it?

2 things mentioned thus far need to be clarified



The shows on that list generally aren't shows they've announced for DVD/BD, many are shows Funi was simply involved in streaming, and is likely trying to gauge interest for a physical release.

2nd- When people talking about old shows not selling, that generally refers to old shows coming out 'now'. Not old shows that previously got a USA release. Stuff like Voltron, Robotech, Cowboy Bebop, etc. continually sell well.

Not trying to change the subject But was Funimation involved in Street fighter II the animated series? or the 1st animated Movie? I have them on DVD but their boxed up at the moment.

Also here's hoping for Dragonball Dragon-Box :D
