Hi Everybody. I'm making up a Dragonball VHS Tape Guide as a sort of counterpart to the DVD Guide on this very site. I'm trying to list every American Dragonball VHS release. After I do that, I'll worry about stuff like release dates.
This task has been pretty easy for the most part, as the VHS releases mirror the DVD releases for the most part. There are exceptions, however, and I was hoping some of the knowledgable forum members might be able to help me.
The biggest divergance of the releases, of course, occurs in the origonal Dragonball series. It was, at first, released on the familiar tapes of 3 or 4 episodes, as was Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT. However, at some point, Funimation announced that they were discontinuing these releases, and just doing DVD Box Sets. My task is to catalouge all of the tapes that were released before this change occured. I thought it happened somewhere in the "General Blue Saga", but it seems I may have been mistaken.

That link takes you to the Amazon page for the "Tien Shinhan - Tournament" tape. Apparently, the releases went a lot further than I thought.
Aside from these divergant releases, there were a few other tapes that didn't translate directly into DVD's. There's the 1995 dub of Dragonball, which is on 7 tapes, but only 2 DVD's. There's also the Trunks saga, on 3 tapes and 2 DVD's. Finally, there's the Ultimate Uncut Edition, which didn't come out on VHS at all!
If anyone can help me with my guide, I'd be most appriciative. Perhaps Vegetto EX may even put it on the site when it's finished. I would be very proud if that happened. Thanks in advance.

Thats what the DVD guide says... The 'Tienshinhan' saga starts with episode 84, so they would've have put out one single tape from that saga- I.E. episodes 84, 85, and 86 are on the tape that KameHouse posted the cover art to, so they only completly got to the FTB saga, and then started the Tienshinhan saga, and then stopped releasing VHS DB (Excluding movie 4).mister yummy wrote:But isn't the "Tien Shinhan" Saga after the Fortune Teller Baba Saga? If memory serves, Baba's right after the Red Ribon Army, and Tenshinhan isn't until the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai.
What? FUNi started something... and didn't finish it? GASPAS
Anyways, just thought I'd try to help out a little bit. I recall hearing of two versions of the original dubs of movies 1-3 (Well, at least 'Dead Zone'), one of the english dub, and then the original version with subtitles. I really can't really say for sure though... seems like I read it on DBZ uncensored.

There we go.
Oh, and there are the Edited and Uncut versions of Z and the movies. I think some late Freeza tapes have two versions (I'm thinking of the uncut version having Vegeta saying "Freaking", or something like that). I know most, if not all of the movies that were released on VHS have an edited and an uncut version. The edited versions are in the big, bulky white cases, while the uncut version were in paper cases like the series releases were.
But... you could've know all this, and all that sounded redundant to you, but, if I've helped... yay?

you have been a big help. I didn't know the uncut movies came in clamshell cases. I suppose that means I have an edited Movie 4.
All of Dragonball Z Season 3 onward comes in Edited and Uncut versions. GT does as well, at least for the "non-lost" episodes. I've never seen a "Lost Episodes" VHS Tape. Dragonball VHS Releases from the "Tournement Saga" until the Tien Shinhan tape shown, apparently, come uncut and edited as well. I don't think there was an edited VHS available for movies 10-12, but I'm 95% sure there's are Uncut tapes available.
Does anyone know where I can find the names, and possibly the cover are, to the Dragonball VHS tapes? I personally own a few, and there are a few more on Amazon, but the rest, I have no idea. I also don't know which episodes are on which tapes, or what order they go in. Any help is appriciated.

I think all the post-Ginyu episodes were released on two different kind of VHSes; One containing the edited TV dub, and one containing the "uncut" dub available on DVD (which is pretty much identical to the edited dub, just without the blood edits and small cuts, and with a couple evil bad mature words like "heck" and "darn" thrown in to justify these tapes being 5$ more than the edited ones.Hao_Kaiser wrote: I think some late Freeza tapes have two versions (I'm thinking of the uncut version having Vegeta saying "Freaking", or something like that).
Doh' thats what I meant to post, the last complete saga was FTB, and the last tape released for DB was the one I posted.KameHouse posted the cover art to, so they only completly got to the FTB saga, and then started the Tienshinhan saga, and then stopped releasing VHS DB (Excluding movie 4).
Come on inside....the Kame House.
