  • NEVER BUY "POINT" or "PART" SETS FROM FUNIMATION. If you see a 1.1 or Part 1 on something like that just hold off on buying and wait until they release a FULL SEASON SET....They never discontinue full seasons....Only these half and quarter season boxsets.....

  • ive already got the two, pretty pissed

  • How did i get here?

  • i think funimation should just take the footage from the old bi-lingual dvds they released in the early 00s remaster them just a bit by taking out a small bit of grain leaving them in full screen put in original openings both the american score and japanesse score and release them in 2 sets like the original japanesse dragonboxes were do the same with db gt and the movies and then everyone is happy just my opinion

  • This was going to be the release I fully collected, bummer.

  • It wasnt time for DBZ on bluray.they had this coming.It shouldnt be on bluray till it gets a perfect release with 100% original remastered footage,openings,endings,music­,a new dub and packaged as season sets

  • I am pissed, I was goin' to buy them all, I've waited a long time to buy the series, and this was perfect for me. Now I really don't know if I should wait, maybe they'll continue where they left off? Fuck.

  • wow i had no idea they were even selling them....

  • Krillin was on the cover of 2.1...I bet this is somehow his fault..

  • This sucks! and 2.1 was suposed to hav a nice pic of kririen on it!

  • ugh they are so fucking lazy. They were TRULY RESTORING IT! now they are gonna look for a CHEAPERRRR method! I knew those young punks couldnt handle it. Get real Hollywood people to do it. They are such money hogs and cheap skates .

  • Lol yea im one of em

  • If they stop selling dragon ball z blu rays, it will be the end of us allllll!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!

  • the orange bricks are fine, for $15 a season, or $30 for the 2 packs, they are decent. the aspect ratio is fine, its widescreen with "slight" crops

  • @MailMareDitzy i own the orang bricks and sometimes whole heads are cut out :/

    /

  • @suriboyviresh seriously? i never caught that. and i have watched through em several times

  • that really pisses me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Update: Funimation confirmed with ANN that sales were not a factor in its decision to discontinue production on the Dragon Ball Z Blu-rays. Funimation added that "the cost incurred to restore these shows has outweighed the suggested retail price we were able to pass along to our fans." Funimation also added it is "currently researching various technology that would let us proceed" with the Blu-ray releases.

  • @craddle15 currently researching various technology that would let us proceed" with the Blu-ray releases. what dos that mean are they going to do blu rays anroter way some how

  • Wanna Know Right now, Seems Funimation hasn't releasing not much titles lately. seen how there releasing Number Of S.A.V.E Edtions all there Classics to CLASSIC Anime. right now Funimation not doing well.

  • from looks on the article it actually means its on hold because of some im guessing the technology was not good enough for the dbz originals so there are actually researching better technology

  • Get Kai instead man, you'll enjoy it so much more.

  • @akaChristopherSoul Kai was the worst idea ever! You take all the plot and dialogue out of dragonball z and you just put the "NECCESSARY PARTS" as they claim, and you only add fight scenes..It ruins the anime. Having in depth dialogue and plot is what makes animes interesting. Can you imagine if they did the same thing to Cowboy Bebop? It would ruin cowboy bebop, and you know what it ruins DBZ. What DBZ fans love most about DBZ is its story.

  • @akaChristopherSoul Do you even realize what happens when you take the plot and dialogue out of the android saga and you get rid of the story of Goku dying from a heart virus and future trunks and future Gohan fighting the androids, it ruins the whole saga for true anime fans, and it destroys the whole meaning of the saga which is if you wanna be free from oppression you have to fight for your freedom to the last man! Reason why Kai was canceled is because they realized they ruined the show.

  • @akaChristopherSoul Last thing real quick about Kai....Why the fuck did they not use Bruce Faulconers Music? Bruces music fits the show perfectly. OMFG KAIS MUSIC SUCKED ASS! Kais music was horrific to listen to. Listening to Kai was like listening to my little Pony. I had to quit listening to Kais music for fear that it might turn me homosexual. It was like listening to Bon Jovis its my life song. Could Kais music be any more queer? I would rather listen to teletubbies music than Kais music.

  • @chris071883 A true fan of Dragonball can't hate Kai. Hating something just because of the BGM is silly. I enjoy the Bruce Faulconer music in DBZ and I'll watch my DVD season sets to listen to it. Now that I'm older, putting nostalgia aside, I have to admit the 1st english dub wasn't the best. Uncut DBZ Kai's english dub is better and more accurate. Obviously you haven't seen a lot of Kai because they kept Future Trunk warning Goku he'll die by a heart virus.

  • @ainman1986 dude that your ospion kai sucks want to know way it ell you way it looks like panit and vocie suck music suck

  • @ainman1986 I quit watching Kai halfway through the Raditz Saga it was that awful. Like I said listening to Kais Music was like listening to my little pony music. It wasnt just the music that was awful it was the character voices. You can say whatever you want about the original DBZ english dub, bu the original english dub of DBZ still has the best Vegeta and frieza character voices and theres not a single character in that series that doesn't sound right IMO. Even Captain Ginyu sounded right.

  • @ainman1986 Also I think that the fact that they cancelled Kai long before they finished the series that says a lot about how bad Kai really is, dude they canceled Kai for a reason, the fact of the matter is that Kai sucked so badly that it would have been 10 times better if they had even used the original japanese Dragonball Z Music such cha la head cha la and the song in the japanese series when Gohan goes SSJ2 against cell. OMFG Kai fucked up the cell saga so bad its not even funny.

  • @ainman1986 Last thing I am going to say is this, If you watch the final kamehameha battle between Perfect Cell and SSJ2 Gohan in both the original english Dub and Kai you will notice a huge difference in Kai, the only two character voices that Kai got correct in how they voiced the characters was krillin and Nappa and honestly who gives a dman about a midget with a penis head who does nothing but get killed left and right?

  • @akaChristopherSoul I know right! Especially those who have been wanting a good English dub. I honestly don't give a damn about the cancellation / suspension as I was never going to buy the damn things anyway. Between the DBoxes and the Kai Blu-Ray level sets these were just unnecessary and superfluous. The only people bummed out about this are probably all the Faulconer-loving Toonami-tards. XP

  • Don't they have Kai on Blu-ray. I like the English dub better on Kai, but I own the DVD season sets of DB/DBZ already, so I was skeptical of re-buying on blu-ray (not that hardcore of a fan to put a lot of money in one series). The DVD orange cases aren't that bad - true they didn't keep it 4:3 ratio like they did on the Dragonball season sets - it has American and Japanese BGM and languages options. Though Funimation did say it's suspended until they gain technology to do the blu-rays cheaper.

  • Comment removed

  • On bonus feature from level 1.1 you can actually see some clips from second and third season, so i don't get it. They are probably not selling well but still, why stop releasing it at the end of first season if you have next two done all ready? Maybe Toei bitch about it and they stopped, because that's what toei do best.

  • People chill out. They never said the were canceling them. There looking for a different way to restore a different way because the old film is having difficulty being restored by the way the been restoring the past film for 1.1 and 1.2. Just be patient because those blu-rays are beautiful! There's no way they would cancel them

  • Why am I not surprise :/

  • Im all good with this. Id rather get YYH anyways. :)

  • do you know if their gonna release tipitaka clan in hd?

  • I just bought 1.1 and planned on buying 1.2. I'll most likely pick up 1.2 since it may be the only DBZ on blu-ray for some time but this definitely sucks for me.

  • DVD Orange Bricks (horrible gross quality) on Blu-ray? It's a possibility now!

  • wow

  • This sucks man :/ FUNImation wasted a bunch of peoples money

  • I'm glad I got my Dragon Boxes. The prices will by SKYROCKETING as this info spreads. I really feel sorry for those of you that bought these Blu-ray sets. Although, you have to admit when it comes to FUNi and DBZ, they are known for this. Ultimate Uncut DVD's anyone?

  • @craddle15 Bad memories.uggh Dragon Box for life

  • I feel the same way Ive never owned DBZ before and finally I find an affordable great quality version and now after 2 sets they can I mean what the hell was the point then

  • Did it really matter much? I mean I love DBZ ever since I was a little kid, but the blurays never looked any different than any other release of DBZ. Im not trolling just expressing what I think.

  • @T94OWH yea i agree with you. theres hardly a difference. especialy since its an old cartoon it can only be restore so many times.

  • There may be been episodes they couldn't restore with the current process, or Toei want's to get involved in a Blu-ray release. Also, they said suspended not an outright cancellation. This could mean A). We get an HD version of the orange bricks (EWWW). B). Toei got involved and possibly want's to do it right. C). Releasing the series using a cheaper method.

  • @Rukiri89 Look at how the Kai blu-ray's keep getting delayed, I think they're just putting the releases on hiatus and possibly want to release them as boxed sets at a higher price. Say $100-200, still $1400 versus $2,500 for the Japanese dragon box is a huge trade off! I think this just has more to do with time than anything, no worries these are far from cancelled or they may want to restore the series like Kai except without blurring the grain^^

  • liar!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Makes me even more glad i kept my Dragon Boxes.

    This makes it FUNimation's second incomplete release on disc with the first being the uncut singles after dropping the Ultimate Uncut DVDs in 2006 (anyone remember those? i sure do since i used to own them all).

  • ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111­

  • I'm crying. I'm fucking pissed off.

  • NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

  • It is kind of disappointing. Even though I do own all the Dboxes, I would like to own the entire series with the Faulconer soundtrack (as that's what I grew up with). Hopefully FUNimation will come up with something better in the future.

  • I was literally just about to buy it, but decided to buy big o and buy this later, whew good call on my part

  • I hope they do follow it up, it sucks to leave a proyect unfinish specially one which is so succesful as Dragonball is.

  • @pprruti Keep It Up!

  • @ForneverWorld hahaha! Wait, how was it that you said?? ohhh i remeber! Just Saiyan!

  • I was really disappointed by this move. Funimation please release more blu-rays

  • Why spend much on Volumes. wait for Just One BIG BoxSet.

  • They should have just released individual episodes on DVD at this rate...

  • D: Scotts (my friends) gonna be pissed...also bob have you heard about teh Ace Attorney movie?

  • It sucks for people who didnt get the dragon boxes before they went out of print. Dbox 1,2,4 and like over 100$ right now!

  • @Volcomskater65 I still have to buy the last Dragon Box before it goes out of print.

  • The short lived Blu-Ray version was 1000X better than the crappy remastered version.

  • Ugh, if they stopped dragonball, I guess ill never see One Piece on Blu Ray ;(

  • Yeah i had a feeling this was gonna happen thats why i didnt run put and buy it, funimation is fuckin up

  • they will eventually start to release them again but they stopped it for the moment because of how time consuming it is and they will start it up again stated shortly in a rightstuf news update

  • Usually I would say pirating would be the cause but in this case its funimations own fault for putting up DBZ episodes that you can watch for free on there website.

  • THAT'S BULLSHIT

  • this pisses me off.wtf funimation.i was gonna buy the blu rays because of your review.dammit.

  • Good thing I haven't buy it yet. I'll stick with the dragon boxes.

  • omg u kidder me? WTF SON

  • WTF! I bought the full DB series & the movie pack. i bought the full DBGT series. And i started buying these DBZ blu ray 1.1 & 1.2 sets and i was going to finish my dbz this way. NOW WTF! they better finish this set because its the best way dbz has ever been. I guess ill just buy kai for now while i wait for them to finish dbz on bluray in a different remastered way. But this is really lame. what a waste of money for now

  • Wow...I went out and bought both level 1.1 and 1.2.

    I really loved the menu interface and how easy it was to change the bgm during an episode. One of the main reasons I bought the two volumes was to own DBZ on Blu-ray with the US bgm.

    ...Well, at least I still have the Dragon Boxes...I still want the US bgm, though.

  • I bought the 2 Dragon Boxes and 1 DBZ level set but now I think im just gonna finish collecting the manga.

  • RAGE MODE RAAAGE MODE UP

  • don't know what they're going to do next but chances are funi's going to do something to sqeeze all the dragonball money out of us that they can lol!

  • Me personally I felt we already had enough Dragon Ball releases as it was & DBZKai is on Blu-Ray too, although I do feel sorry for those who were purchasing these releases.

    But yeah could be they ceased these blu-rays due to remastering over 200+ episodes in HD & that's quite alot

  • Dang that sucks...On a side note i love your Gurren Lagann Wall Scroll...

  • @Behntrain thanks!

  • @bobsamurai Heh I own that same wall scroll. Although its covered by my heavens lost property calendar. :)

  • Seriously WTF!!?

  • I knew something was going to happen, glad i didnt buy it.

  • BOB MAD OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN

  • 0:00 my reaction EXACTLY!

  • Man that sucks...
