WTF Dragon Ball Edition

I love Dragon Ball (and Z and GT), so I've been buying the FUNimation remastered box sets. Basically, I've had a ton of problems with them, and had to return 5 sets so far due to skipping or freezing up. I never buy DVD's so I thought this may be typical, and since I've bought 87 total discs (they're 5 or 6 in a set, and two or three for the movies) I guess there's bound to be problems.

But this is unforgivable. I bought season two of Dragon Ball a few months back when it came out, but didn't get around to watching it, and now I see that they gave me two disc 2's and no disc 4's. Now I have to argue with the bitch at Best Buy to give me a refund past the 30-day period, which they'll do after a half-hour of scolding you. :angry:

tl;dr FUNimation's manufacturers and Best Buy suck.

ojsinnerz.
That's awful to hear. I personally have a few animu dvds (Like 3 or 4) and never really had any problems with them.


Just goes to show you how awful it is to purchase things.

Yep, with thirty seconds and a dial-up connection, you can find a million links to Dragon Ball downloads, but I like the series (and this dub) enough to shell out the cash and get screwed :wacko:

It's not, I tried it on my computer's two DVD drives (my main DVD player), a hacked Wii, and a standalone DVD player, all of which produced the same stuttering/freezing in the same places.

Wow, that sucks.

I've never really got interested in DragonBall. I guess I'm just too young to grasp it. Do they sell a BluRay version of the set?

I think they have a few of the movies out on Blu-ray (for this dub), but not the series (though I'm not sure). Also, Dragon Ball Kai, a condensed version of the DBZ anime (that's more like the manga series) will be released on blu-ray starting in May (it's also being aired on Nickelodeon if you'd rather catch it there). I wouldn't say it's for everyone, if you don't like anime for example, it won't change your mind, but it's certainly more accessible than other series, I'd think.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    @SylverReZ where do u lurk
  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
