Episode #0066 (25 February 2007)

I was listening to the podcast about FUnimation's uncut messups, and at the time i was looking to buy some DB/Z/GT boxsets - the entire Series. After listening to your podcast i got a bit unsure as to which one i should buy from ebay(low budget).
Could any of you possibly view these URL's and tell me which ones are the "most uncut" or better, if any of them are?

1.

2.

3.

- Top of DVD cases reads "Ultimate Uncut Special Edition" however the DBZ episodes only add up to 276, i'm sure uncut added up to 291??

The reason i am unsure about these is that there are seemingly two completely different sets of cases, the images from "1." and then the other images which are similar, for example they both contain Dragonball "Ultimate Uncut Special Edition" Parts 1 & 2, but the DBZ and GT cases seem to be different in one of them.
Does anyone with some past knowledge know why these are different and in what ways??
Advice?
Thanks, Wisey x

All of those dvd's you listed are bootlegs, which aren't condoned here, so you won't get much help from anyone concerning those.

As someone wanting to get into the series, if you're more of a casual fan, you can't go wrong with Funimation's season boxsets, if you're picky about aspect ratios and the little details like I am, then it's either down the horrible road of tracking down old dvd singles, or importing expensive R2 dvd's.

How can you tell?

I am looking to purchase the uncut versions of Dragonball/Z/GT, which i have rarely seen.
But they are very hard to find, as i can't tell what is and isn't uncut and often you can't get the entire Series in one Boxset etc.

Those are the season boxsets, they are your best chance of getting the series "uncut", they have their faults, but they're affordable, and available.

It's also impossible to get the entire series in one boxset, the closest you'll get are the Dragonboxes from Japan, DB and DBGT are in their own individual boxes and Z is spread over two, however they are extremely expensive, hard to obtain, and come with no subtitles.

So unless you're prepared to spend in the thousands of dollars and hunt around Japanese auction sites, you'll have to settle for Funimation products.
