They're not that bad. Its not like you can see their parachutes or something. I know some people get all worked up because they can't see Bulma's boobs or because some guys have blasters instead of guns in a martial arts sci-fi epic comedy, but its not horrible.

EDIT: Yes, I know. "D'jinn" and "Vegerot" aren't on the list of, "Good things about the VIZ DB/DBZ manga," but I kinda forgot about them because I tend to overlook certain things after awhile.
That's what kind of turned me off buying them just yet....

I saw those name changes on the overview and nothing annoys me more.

D'jinn isn't really a mistranslation or anything. It just makes the whole "M" thing kind of weird. Also, Vegeto isn't a character that you're going to be seeing a lot of and his name is barely ever mentioned.

If Vegeto was a character that was in half the series and people were constantly chanting his name and talking about him then I'd understand.

So Kendamu, the best bet for an English speaking Dragonball fan is for them to buy Viz's Dragonball manga. If the censorship is an issue, just import the Japanese volumes.

Without resorting to anything illegal, yes. In the beginning of each volume of the American version, there's a bunch of legal text and stuff. If there is censorship in that volume, it should have a small blurb on that page stating how some stuff was edited for whatever reason. So, if you want to read it in English and get around censorship while saving some cash, check which volumes are edited and import the Japanese counterpart so you can read them side-by-side or whatever.

Thanks. I think I'll be doing that being as I've only read the Android/Cell arc in the manga.

This is our lucky day! Did you say he is from Japan?

Could you check out the thread 'DBZ T-shirts.'

http://db.schuby.org/daizex/viewtopic.php?t=8213

I will just fill you in, Basically we are looking for somebody in Japan who can get hold of some REALLY COOL T-shirts and can then place them up upon Ebay for people to purchase.
The T-shirts arn't available anywhere else, and because very few of us knows Japanese we can't get them shipped

If you check out the thread and have a little read that would be great

Can't you guys use the Celga service?

{On a side note, I just won an Ebay auction. 85 dollars worth of Dragonball manga for 10 bucks!}

Sorry I will PM next time!

Wow 10 bucks, I assume that's in dollars. Bargain! The credit crunch can't be all that bad!
