Has anyone managed....

Post by Dragonball1080 »

To get their hands on a complete series DB, DBZ and DBGT that is actually good? I mean I never actually watched DB or all of DBZ for that matter or DBGT cause I had bought 3 different sets of "high quality" episodes and they were all total trash, I would really like to actually watch the whole series in the origonal Japanese verision without having my face 2 cm away from my computer screen just trying to read what they are saying. So anyone actually get a good set? or what did you do? watch the crappy english ones? Any help would be great,

Thanks

These boxsets are really good unedited, ALL the episodes and no digital alterations like the funimation version and as subs go they aint to bad either.

I have this boxset of the movies as well they are really good again uncut and no digital alterations the first 6 have the dubs on them as well.

I have heard that Funimation refuse to let people sell these versions over in the US and Canada and actively persue people who do sell them but I could be totally wrong about that. But they dont have any control like that over here in the UK so they are easily availiable.

I own the complete uncut/unedited version of DBZ. Excellent quality and perfect subtitles. Their covers look exactly like the first set that Bevhippy pointed out to, except my collection consists of 12 box sets (32 CDs i think), not just four boxsets.

You should be really careful when purchasing dbz cds since the whole collection could costs you alot of money so you want to make sure that what you pay for is actually worth the money. Generally speaking more CDs and excellent subtitles are signs of original copies of these dvds. There are actually a huge number of fake copies out there too. They're actually alot cheaper and some of them are good quality too. If you were in Toronto/Canada then i could've at least shown you some amazing places to get both types of these dvds from.

Anyhow....hope that helps a bit :D

I am in BC, Canada so I guess that doesn't help, I know myself I have spent probably over 1000$ on sets with the same disappointment. Anyway I will deffinantly check these out. They look like what I was hoping to find, never thought of looking on the UK eBay though, I always use the US one.

Heeeeyyyy,

I didn't notice that you were in Canada. That's awesome :bounce . Most of the collectors that i know are in the US, UK or australia.

Well then....i guess the magical number for the number of collectors in Canada (that i know of), is 4 at this point. Kinna low i know :roll:...but it's still all good :D

I guess my day just got a little bit better.....unless you're really unfriendly in which case i would have to bring the magical number back down to 3 /hmm .

Anyhow.....Cheers :cheers
