Here's the article from Anime News Network.http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/20 ... moto-sunny

Cool, I need to buy the manga so I might pick this up!

[Pokewhiz7]

Oh god, I'm probably misinterpreting the article, but I hope this is what I think it is.

I really hope this is the Kanzenban, but I think its just a VizBig rerelease...

[JulieYBM]

It's probably just a cheap binding of three of their regular editions stuck together.

Yeah, and that already got released a few years ago -.-

[Insertclevername]

Yeah, I was thinking Kanzenban but I didn't want to spoil it. Notice how the article says just "Dragon Ball" and not specifically "Dragon Ball Z". Perhaps they are planning on releasing the Kazenban with the correct manga title?

Sadly, it doesn't seem to be Kanzenbans. It sounds like the three-in-one omnibuses that Viz does that aren't Viz Bigs, but are the same size as normal tankibons.

Of which the paper quality always sucks. I'll stick to the Vizbigs, which I need to get the rest of, thanks Viz. :/

Even if they are not in the same size, quality, and/or volume numbers, it doesn't mean that the actual content won't be based on the Kanzenban.

Please Viz...just release the kanzenban's already. We don't need another pointless re-release.

That's a point, but I doubt they'd go to the effort of releasing the Kanzenban material but then use a low quality 3-in-1 format. If it does have the Kanzenbans' altered content, all of the colours in tact, or just scraps the "Z" from the later part of the series, I'll most probably buy it.

If it's just a VizBig reprint then I'm happier than if they didn't bring out anything at all, as I feel I've missed my chance with those.

I'd agree if this wasn't another 3-in-1 omnibus which have all been cheap re-releases.

[Zestanor]

I will buy the manga eventually... But I'm more averse to double dipping on print versus DVDs. If I bought it, but then they came out with a Kanzenban edition that cut the crap, I would be thoroughly miffed.

[Codarik]

I'm hoping they will re-release the VizBigs. I only need vol. 8 to complete the collection.

They better not cancel the Vizbigs because of this.

[TheBlackPaladin]

I've read a fair deal of the manga, but it has always been in bookstores, without actually buying it. I haven't bought it yet because I'm waiting for an uncensored release and, from what I've been able to discern of Viz's releases, there has yet to be a consistent, uncensored release.

Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though!

[CaBrPi]

They do reprintings of the VizBIGs all the time without announcing it. I highly doubt they'd start announcing it now.

It's probably that omnibus thing, going by the article.

I've been buying the VizBIGs, but I'll buy an uncensored Kanzenban release, too, if Viz ever releases one.

[TheBlackPaladin]

Are there any legal problems with Viz releasing an uncut version, or are they just being cautious because they're afraid of getting sued?

I'd go with the latter. They probably aren't willing to sell the uncut edition since it won't make as much money since they can't sell it to kids. They could, however, do a premium limited edition to please fans. Sell them online or with a higher maturity rating.
