Hilarious amazon.com Review

Post by Yi Xing Long » Tue Mar 17, 2009 4:56 am

While browsing amazon.com I came across this piece of work:
random review wrote:I give the whole series five stars but only four stars on all of these sets.The cropping doesnt bother me that much,eventhough it gets annoying sometimes.Dont get me wrong they are great and deserve 5 stars because they are extremely cheaper than previous sets, contain all of the episodes and the picture quality is the best i've seen for the series, but I want the true uncut episodes.
I want the episodes that don't just show blood and a few(very few) cuss/curse words, I want all of the big four letter word cuss/curse words.
A good example of that is if you have seen the part on these episodes when Piccalo and Gotenks trap skinny Buu(before he starts absorbing z fighters) in the time chamber and he begins to scream and cause a rift in time once the door has been destoryed, he starts dropping F bombs like crazy. Repeatedly over and over again. Thats what I want, I'm tired of having every character say Damn you when we all know what they are really saying.
I understand the fact that they dont do this because of children watching these episodes but think for a minute. When this show was the most popular was around 1999 to maybe 2005 in America;give or take a few years.Dont you think the majority of those kids and young adults have gotten older by now.Another thing last time I checked most kids watch these episodes in english anyway so put the uncensored version in japanese like it used to be with correct translations. I only watch this in japanese anyway so I would even buy the version that was only in japanese if they sold it. I wont buy these episodes from japan because anything could be wrong with them(not work, no subtitles,not the right dvd player, or damaged discs).
In conclusion if Funimation is going to say this is the way DBZ was meant to be seen,uncut, then truly make it uncut and uncensored than you would have a definitve set and series.
Someone has been watching too many anime-labs fansubs. The horrendous spelling and grammatical errors make this review even more hilarious. I wonder how it is even possible for people to still have the misconception that this show originally had such language.

I'm...completely baffled that people still believe DBZ uses such language...

I'd love to believe this is an elaborate attempt at trolling DBZ fans, but it seems legit.

And that's hilarious! :D

In the reviewers mind while watching the show:

VEGETA: YEAH MOTHA FUCKA YOU LIKE DAT SHIET?
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

I just laughed out loud with that review, Do you think he was watching Dragonball Z with a South Park audio on Youtube?

I'm expecting him next to say... "DBZ is supposed to be uncut, this means full blown 100% uncensored gay hentai sex. You think I could contact him and ask where he has seen the series? :)
[b]"Ok, use your instincts Kakarott. Right or Left? (Hmmm... I'd have to say... left.) Good. Then I'm going right!" (Vegeta to Goku as they try to find their way to free the others inside Buu - Episode: The Innards of Buu)[/b]

Anime-labs fansubs. They were notorious for adding absurd amounts of profanity.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. It's obvious that DBZ used extremely strong language. like the time that Goku was paralyzed while Vegeta was running around, Goku was like, "You fucking piece of shit! I'll beat the fuck out of you, you fucking ape-looking son of a bitch! Fuck you asshole! Eat shit cock-sucker!"

By the same token, I think FUNimation is bullshit for taking out all those sex scenes between Goku and Chi-Chi, Vegeta and Bulma, a foursome between them, and in a shocking twist, Bulma with Frieza and Zarbon.

At least Funi didn't get rid of the entire show like they did with DB AF!

Somewhere Steve Simmons is facepalming.
"I like the money it brings in, but Dragon Ball Heroes is the worst. That's actually the real reason I decided to start working on new material. I was afraid Bandai would make something irredeemably stupid like Super Saiyan 4 Broly." - Akira Toriyama, made up interview, 2013.

Or with Piririn because they thought that a green midget was racist, and that his mouth on the reference picture looked an awful lot like an anal orifice.
That one, only I know, because I have a friend in Japan that eats lunch with Akira Toriyama every day.
He is so mad that they censored Lunch because of her weapons and lesbian interactions with Bulma in the uncensored, superuncut, director's cut version of Dragonball Z, that was supposed to be called Dragonball NaZi because of their blond hair and blue eyes and their hate against aliens and such, and that time Popo got kicked around in a sack and lost his lips, which Funi censored, and in the scenes where they stare ar eachother, there should be a dialouge that Funi cut, where they tell your momma jokes at eachother and call eachother demeaning words and cuss in every sentence.

...

Yeah, it's all Anime Labs fault, and also the ignorant fans´ fault.
No more time for Daizex. Goodbye folks!
