DBZ fans hate is over NINE THOUSAAAAAAND!

Just a couple of weeks ago, FUNimation release another in their long line Dragon Ball Z box sets. What's so different about this one from the others? Well, let the rock and roll, over boiled, action packed trailer tell you.



Wait, wide screen. That's different from 4:3 or full screen. They can't do that shit to my series. Wrong, they already did. First one is already at stores with the second one a couple of weeks away. Since there hasn't been a box set of the uncensored version of Dragon Ball Z yet, many fans are looking forward to it, even more so since it cost around the price of 2 DVDs and doesn't have the "rocking" English soundtrack. Yet, there are fans that have to pee in other fans corn flakes. Fans, brace yourself, you will be mission out on feet and a little bit of the characters head. Yeah, who gives a rat’s ass. But still, that has been enough for a partition and for many people to cry foul.

Let's go over the facts. With the jump to wide screen, you'll lose out on seeing some of Vegeta's giant ass hair and feet. But what you'll gain in return is more of that stale background of rocks, fields, and junk like that. Now, let's do some math. Math is fun after all.

Let's take Deep Discount DVD. The Season 1 Box Set of the remastered, wide screen version cost $30.95 or 2 DVDs. Now, the price for Dragon Ball Z, Season 1, Volume 1 is $15.11, not including shipping. Since there are only 3 episodes per volume and 39 episodes in the season, which brings up to close to 13 volumes, 7 more disc then the box set. Now, let us consider that every volume is priced the same, which will brings the total price for the uncensored, full screen version to a total of 196.43. Six times the cost the box set. And the only thing you get the extra $166 is the some hair and feet, oh and that "rocking" English soundtrack.

Let us review what we have learned from my rant.

Wide screen : You lose a bit of hair, even a little of the head, and feet, but you gain more of the background. I get the Japanese soundtrack when I listen to the English dubbed. It cost 6 times less then just buying every DVD by itself. More people won't like me, which is nothing new.

Full screen: I can watch in other rooms other then the living room since I'm not rolling around in cash. The English dubbed soundtrack is great for causing headaches when drunk. I won't be a bastard, which is a good thing now and then.

Man, this is tough. Can something remind me why I watch Dragon Ball Z? Anything at all?



Basically, if you bought the uncensored version DVDs before, there is really no need to buy this new version, unless you really like Dragon Ball Z or looking to free up some room on your shelf. But since I'm a tight wad and I don't like to buy every DVD buy itself when I know damn well there is going to be a box set coming, I'm getting this.

Disagree with me? By all means, leave a comment. There is still a lot of straws to grasp at. There's also a FAQ on FUNimation's board about it, and don't say that's that BS and they are lying.

ADD ON: Here is an image of the what was add and token away.

[Some image was here, but now it's not. It just show that 4:3 showed more or a clown]

Yeah, that a good chunk of the picture that goes MIA. My judgement stands though. Don't have it and want to get, get it. Have the 13 DVDs already, don't need to get it, unless you really hate the English soundtrack. Thanks to energydan for pointing out the image.
