I've had luck here in the past finding LD's, Howsa about some DVD's?
I'm looking for the Pioneer releases of DragonBall Z. They Don't need the cardboard slipcover (although awesome if does), even willing to just buy singles I don't have, that should be fun lol. I know the "Rock the Dragon" box set reissue thing is outta my league, but hey! Maybe we can work something out!
Entertaining the idea of trying to find the movies in steel book form dvds. This is simply to match the new 4:3 Steel books lol.
Let me know if you want to trade. I have vhs, DVD, bluray, for trade. I suppose if there is interest I have comics, video games and other junk of the like. There *may* be some possible trades for LD's laying around, but it's gonna have to be good. Thanks all!
Poking around I have quite a few of the Star Wars steel book blu rays. Some are even new, if anyone has interest in wanting those lol.
Collection/trade fodder update
Just found 4? Volumes of "The Wedding Peach" on DVD. Couple City Hunters and Comic Party

Orange bricks get you by, the pioneer singles are edited (but I'm looking for that too Nami experience, hence why I want the singles or rock the dragon) Beyond that it's blu rays, the new blu rays are pretty solid. Not perfect but solid. I wish there was more dbz on LD. All I really want is the broly movie and I'll be happy with dbz on LD lol. Have come across dbz and DB on Vcd though

The closest Funimation's gotten to getting it "right" was the Dragonboxes and ofc they had to make those limited pressings so they cost hundreds of dollars in the aftermarket and are impossible to get. At this point, it's literally better to just take the high seas route. At least there you can get the audio in the original broadcast quality!

Picture's a little over-processed, and the "season 1" review at least says that the audio option for English with Japanese music doesn't have the right opening theme song (though the Japanese audio track does). So it sounds like they're not quite as good as the "Level" releases, but unlike with those they've actually put out the entire series. Honestly it sounds too not-cursed for an English Dragon Ball release, so I wonder if they f***ed up the subtitles somehow. This release was news to me; thanks for sharing, infernogames. If they'd been putting out releases like this when I was in college and liked DBZ more (and had more time), I definitely would have picked them up. Now, if they released the original Dragon Ball on blu-ray...

They have been a joy to watch, almost through season 1. Only thing I'd b**ch about at this point is (as far as I've seen) special features are non existent? And it has Japanese translated subtitles, but not the ~actual~ subtitles like some other DVD releases. Edit~TyPoS~

Their EU counterpart already is. And they play in this region. Funimation will make them too lol. Maybe by then you'll want to own it, I'm just glad there is an acceptable, hell more than acceptable release of dbz on home media. rcarlson wrote: Now, if they released the original Dragon Ball on blu-ray... They kinda did, a company called selectavision? (don't quote me on that). Super SUPER nice releases but unfortunantly no English option, as far as I know, haven't researched them fully yet, wanna get through dbz/GT first

As I'm sure you are aware, people have different tastes.... While I respect the Japanese language, I much MUCH prefer the dub. Ocean or Funimation. It's what I grew up with.
Were they bootleg VHS? That's always fun, loved that Era of anime/releases/bootleggery. That is unless you recorded yourself off Japanese TV o.O
I still think the orange bricks get too much flack. Yeah they are widescreen and heavy handed dnr, but watching the dragon box/4:3 bluray/singles and they are not a horrific butchering like some like to say.
Sure there is compositions that are bad, but viewing all those options together just shows while orange brick is worst option, it's also cheapest, readily available and if all you want is to watch series withoutthe high seas route those are best bet if budget is concerned. This is assuming within USA.
Not all 4:3 conversions or wide-screen conversions are tolerable. The pan and scan version of the Mad Max films I CANNOT STAND on laser disc. But I've seen them so much I notice everything. Maybe that's how it is with some people and the orange bricks. When looking through that lense, I can understand the anger towards them more lol.
As far as Japanese releases on DVD, not sure? Not in the market for those. Thing is I'm looking for these pioneer singles/rock the dragon box for personal reasons/collection (love pioneer releases in general partly)

I wonder how many of the Z fanboys have actually watched the original - and how they would react to Toriyama's other output, like Dr Slump.
