Thanks for the explanation, however I did anticipate that the answer would be something to do with Goku originally killing Freeza - but Trunks didn't actually know that Goku killed Freeza. My impression was Trunks didn't know Freeza even showed up, If Goku used Instantaneous movement and killed Fre...

My thoughts exactly.

FUNi are going to finish their run of the Z season sets no matter what.

I think it is rather sad that bootlegs look loads better than the official product. :( Tell me about it, and I thought the R4 sets looked great for a FUNi release. Now they look ugly as hell. *places season set next to it* I take that back! :lol: The grainy episodes are still grainy, the dirty cell...

Who here uses swap magic? I have a Ps2 approaching it's 7th birthday, it has had no modifications, however in it's current state, makes griding noises whenever turned on, and only plays some games whist in an upright position, It rarely gets read errors, it's just a little loud. I was just wondering...

*sigh*

The most annoying thing is, the release date here in Aus is early next year.

I'll probably end up importing Sparking Meteor and destroying my aging Ps2 with Swap Magic.

Whee!!

Re: UPDATE

. . . I take it you never checked out my 'tests' that have been up on YouTube for nearly a year? Not to sound like a negative nancy, but the music sources you have used feel completely overblown when put up against the movie itself. The original score of movie 3 was so good (to me atleast) because ...

These are fantastic. It never made sense to me why Funimation didn't use this artwork, it's obviously drawn to a higher standard, and actually have a little creativity in the layout. Now, all someone (not naming names here..:P) needs to do is make some nice high resolution season set covers (maybe w...

Re: Dragonball DVD Question

I understand that Funimation can't legally distribute the First 13 episodes of Dragonball and the 1st DB movie due to Trimark holding the rights. But can't Toei Animation pull the license from them so they won't have rights anymore? Being as Toei legally owns the rights to show and all the copyrigh...

I wouldn't say I'm disappointed, just kind've annoyed they'd be using voices so similar to the ones they used in Dragonball. Agreed, I'm a big OP fan and I just watched the dub today, I thought it was passable, but certain things like Ussop/Krillin and Zoro/Piccolo really annoyed me. I mean when Zo...
