I'd love if Buu Kai came out on Christmas.

Alright, guys. Less than two months at this point until we finally get some semblance of an answer regarding Kai's Buu Saga. Just sayin.

Is there any chance Funi might make some alterations to the visual quality of the show?
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

We could always hold out hope, but I wouldn't hold my breath over it.

Unfortunately. As much as I want them to release a 4:3 version, the chances of that are slim at best.

I still think that, while the TV airings will almost certainly be 16:9, the Blu-Rays will be 4:3, like the rest of Kai.

Although, I think by "Visual quality", ekrolo2 meant the colour correction, replaced frames, and the general remastering process, which I hear has received some criticism.
The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

Oh, yeah. Let's hope it's not so green.

Cure Dragon 255, that video is just as relevant/irrelevant as the "Broly preview clip" in the TFS thread...but nowhere near as distasteful xD

[spoiler]It's Kermit the Frog's "Bein' Green" song[/spoiler]

When I first clicked that link I thought it was a Toonami trailer or something...

I know. But its relevant, we should open our hearts and mind and accept our green reality.

Dammit Cure! With this link and a notification that this thead has lots of replies I thought this was a Toonami advert for it!

OMG, I'm sorry! That REALLY was a dick move on my part. I just thought it would be an innocent little joke.

Geekdom could very well be right (because December is when me and most the fans think it will start airing), but let's just wait and see. No need to get our hopes up over something that's not TOTAL CONFIRMATION. Still, one fan commented on Geekdom's video and said that Funimation usually announces their February releases in mid-November. I'm simply quoting the fan because I found this interesting even though IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Yeah, I'm just going to say THERE'S NO WAY FUNIMATION WILL ANNOUNCE BUU SAGA IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS MONTH.

Ah, it just feels so good not getting my hopes up and who knows? - Maybe, if I don't get my hopes up - It will be even better if something does come up. Still, I am SO READY for the Buu Saga of Kai just to see Sean Schemmel's version of Goku saying goodbye to Ultimate Gohan. He has talked about this on many different occasions, which intrigues me to see if it's any different from the Japanese version OR simply just faithful to that version.

I just want to have a faithful English dub to listen too before moving on watching the original Z Buu arc in Japanese!

I'll be honest, while I do trust Geekdom that the Buu saga will be released once the Cell part finishes up on Toonami when I saw that video I was hoping it would have something more concrete than "I have been told by individuals who should not be named" whom I'm confident are reputable. Still it's good to hear he's triple sourced it.

I noticed that comment too. Sadly I don't see this happening either as Toonami will most likely only have 6 episodes aired by the time February comes around. Although since Kai 1.0 did well despite already being available on home media it would be nice if Funimation releases episodes of the arc before they air on TV, it would be nice to not have to wait longer than a year to have my Kai collection complete.

I believe he talked about Goku choking up abit during the goodbye, which is not a good thing. Its not their job to add or remove anything from the original Japanese dub. If Nozawas take on the scene doesnt have Goku holding back tears or a sob then the English dub shouldnt add something like that.
