Now we have good picture quality DVD's with optional languages, cover art, and subtitles by someone who actually knows what he's doing and we are complaining about bitrate speed? Wow, when did we get so spoiled?

Because we are in 2005, not 1995, and standards change. We're also purchasing legitimate releases, and not some bootlegged, 5th generation fansub from a guy and his Amiga.

Da-um. That's some pretty sweet looking video for the R2s. I may have to get me some of these...

No English subtitles on these discs, eh ... bummer.

Oh well, FUNimation is good enough ... what other choice do we have for those who don't know Japanese. (￣(エ)￣)

I have them without subs on VHS. I met a guy on-line from Japan who sent me copies. I guess if anyones interested, let me know.

I should transfer them to DVD-R, already.

I was stating my disappointment that there were no English subtitles on these new discs, a-hole. What does it matter to you, anyhow, fuck face.

He's probably pissy because he's seen someone else bitch about 'em. Although, he got what he deserved. Shouldn't be acting like a dick to all members because another member continuously mentions it.

Because I have this horrible expectation people actually read threads before posting in them, and that its been stated HUNDREDS of times before and everywhere else that they do not have English subtitles.

Maybe think next time? You know, give it a go? (also, what's with covering up ass, but not fuck?)

Can you people all get a clue?

Magnaboss, I'm officially warning you about your attitude for the second time. If I have to say anything to you *ever* again on this forum, you're just going to find yourself out on your rear-end with a non-active account and a banned IP.

SuperFusion, while I've had problems with the way you've acted before, consider this your first official warning.

M-Vegeta, watch it.

The very fact that I have to make a post like this completely saddens me. Where the Hell do you people think you are...?

He didn't ask if there were sudtitles, ass, he said he was dissapointed that there wern't subtitles, ass. If he had said "are there subs on these?" then you could say he didn't read the thread, buthe said "no subs, bummer" which implies he did read the thread, ass.

Seriously, ass, stop being a fuck-face.

(That better?)

Think about what?

I did read the thread, and I can state my disappointment that the new individual discs don't have English subtitles if I damn well please.

And I'm sorry, my life doesn't circulate around DBZ as much as others. I come here ever few months, if that. I was hoping they maybe had English subtitles this time around, they don't, I'm disappointed, but I'm not knocking the new discs. I wish I could buy them, but since they don't have subtitles I can't, simply because I don't know Japanese. I haven't even seen the whole DBZ series, yet.

Believe me, I'm not trying to start a FUNimation vs. Dragonbox war. I already know which is superior as far as quality.

Hey Peanut Gallery, maybe if we could get less "state the blindingly fucking obvious" in this thread, it might get a tad less, what, irritating? You have the right to say what you want, but please, consider the fucking situation of the thread before you put more verbal Daiorehha in.

Actually, fuck you. ban me, VegettoEX, you self-centered fucknut, so I dont have to come back and see these badly composed shitartists posts in response to any more of your fuck-ccokery (hur swearing). Tullece my ass.

Shitweasels

Also, XV, I'll send the pictures through AIM.

Sheesh, where's all the hate coming from? Not that I want to pull the "you're all acting like little children" line out of retirement, but... you're all acting like little children =p Seriously, take a step away from the keyboard and let it go.

What the fuck is wrong with you? If you hate this forum so much, then don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. No one's forcing you to post here.

IBTL: My cock is huge.

Oh yeah, and these region 2's always seem to end in tragedy. For future reference:

-Japanese DVD's are for Japanese people...who speak Japanese. They don't have English subtitles. Exporting them out of Japan is technically illegal anyway, since they're only licensed for Japan. That's like me saying, "The FUNi discs, made for English speaking audiences, don't have Iranian subtitles! THEY SUCK!"

-Yes, FUNi's DVD's have subtitles. They suck otherwise though, and I'm not holding back. The masters look like someone wiped their ass with them, then were run through VirtualDub with a sharpening filter, and color saturation cranked to Uber-Fucking-Annoying.

That's all I have to say. Good night, and good luck.

Talk about nit pickey

. Are you gonna get the singles, Corey? Also, you just said it's illegal for buyers outside of Japan to get the Japanese releases, so does that make the Dragonbox and single-release buyers criminals? If so, oh my goodness, DaizEX is harboring fugitives!!! (<-- Just kidding

)

In all seriousness, you think you'll end up getting the singles, despite you already having the complete series?

Nah, I'm not that extreme. I love the series, but the boxes will do. The singles are just purdy ;p

YES, I AM the SMOOTHE CRIMYNAL ROFLCOPTER. Nah, I'm not sure who the blame would fall on (the retailer or the buyer), but it's not legally licensed for distribution outside of Japan. Ah well, it's not really enforced unless you're buying bootlegs (or you get a shitty customs agent).

I guess you could always re-edit them, borrowing FUNimation's translations as your guide if you wanted to put that much work into them. I'm not exactlly sure what you would need to do something like that, but doesn't seem overly difficult.

I see your point, MajinVejitaXV, that they are made specfically for Japan. I guess I just had my hopes up that MAYBE they would be included this time when I read about the new individual discs in the news section. I never said they sucked, by the way, I think they're pretty damn awesome.

Yeah, reauthoring the discs with english subtitles isn't too difficult. I've done it with Daimao's translations from my own old copies of the discs, and the end result is the best of both worlds. It's just a matter of demuxing the VOB's, adding the subtitles and remuxing then burning to a DVD+R.

And subtitles would have been too damn good to be true, but it's an incentive to learn the language, no?

Sleep now, adios all. 10 hours of work waits for me on the other end of 7 hours of sleep ;p
