That's a nice list. It's a very good way to keep track of things.

Man, we already knew this, but the UK really has gotten screwed so far.

I also find it really surprising that AB wasn't able to secure the rights to DB movie 4 for release in France? What the hell is up with that?

sangofe · Post by **sangofe** » Sun Sep 23, 2007 2:12 pm

For France, there are a few edits to do to your list.
First off, DB movies 1-3 are avaible on dub only dvds (censored). Movie 4 has dub and sub.
A lot of DBZ is available on DVD, dub only and censored.
DBGT has 1 volume that got spanish, french, portugese and japanese dialogue + french subs, however, this volume got disscontinued.
The new edition has DUB only, but is uncut.

To make things clear... The only releases that have Japanese versions, are:
DB/Z movie box, and a discontinued DBGT dvd...

Updated. Sangofe, do you know which DBZ DVDs are bi-lingual?

DBZ? French? Only movies in the movie box.

Kula · Post by **Kula** » Sun Sep 23, 2007 3:07 pm

Sorry, I meant to say 'censored'. Which of the French DBZ releases are censored? all of them?

Shin Moonwalker · Post by **Shin Moonwalker** » Sun Sep 23, 2007 3:17 pm

ALL of the DB/DBZ releases are censored in France.
And not in a good way, you hear bits missing in the music.
Like you said, there is only the french dub, no subs and the video quality is the same as the first VHS of the show.

If there's one thing that really sucks about the French dub, it's the poor video quality. AB doesn't seem to have been given the cleanest video masters by Toei.

The Chinese releases aren't even listed here.

This is by no means a complete list of DVD releases. If you have any info about a particular region's DVDs please post it here and I'll update the first post.

For Spain's Dragonball releases: They are edited for TV versions. They were put out by two different distributors, the first editions were single disc and availible through newsstands, the second [red box] editions were 2-disc and availible is stores.

For Spain's Dragonball Z releases: They are 2-disc uncut releases using Dragonbox video as a base. [And then they kicked up the saturation to ungodly levels!]

Language Tracks: They're dead-on, but you might want to change them to English terms:
Castellano: Spanish, Castilian, Castilian Spanish, European Spanish
Catalan: Catalan or Catalonian
Gallego: Galician
Euskera: Basque
Portugues: Portuguese

For Mexico's DVD releases: I'd change the language from "Mexican" to either "Spanish" or "Latin American Spanish".

Other than that, you're golden! Great list! I hope my info helps!

How come Mexico doesn't release thier own DBZ DVD's?

Probably for the same reason that Canada doesn't; it's part of North America, and FUNimation holds the rights for all of North America.

All but the movies in the movie box. And for the Scandinavian releases (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden) I realized I should have written "TV-specials 1-2", and not OAVs...

Oh yeah. There's Spanish (spain) DBGT releases of all the series.
This has Spanish and Catalan dub, without Japanese version.

sangofe · Post by **sangofe** » Mon Sep 24, 2007 9:50 am

More corrections to your list about French dvds...
DBGT has no subtitles, and ALL DB Z GT but the movie box, and DB Movie 4 is censored in one way or another.

NICE thread.

Germany

DB movies 1 - 3
R2 / PAL
(shitty) German dub & Japanese with (crappy) subs
Publisher link

DBZ movies 1 - 11
R2 / PAL
(shitty) German dub & Japanese with (crappy) subs
Publisher link

DBZ movies 12 & 13 on one DVD as "The Film"
R2 / PAL
ONLY cut and with (fucking) German dub (NO Japanese)
Publisher link

Also the movies are available in two movie boxes. NOTHING changed. It's simply two boxes with the same DVDs.
Box 1
Box 2

DBZ TV Specials 1 & 2
R2 / PAL
(shitty) German dub & Japanese with (crappy) subs
Bardock Special
Trunks Special

DBGT TV Special (released a s DBGT the movie...)
R2 / PAL
(shitty) German dub & Japanese with (crappy) subs
Publisher link

That's all. No DB movie 4 (because AB doesn't have the license) and no DVDs for any TV series. Maybe it's better how it is, because the average quality of the Polyband DVDs are pretty bad and I don't want to know how TV series DVDs would be like...
