I am sure people realize you are not fond of Tokyopop's work but the way you seem to be insulting a few members, not a good idea around these parts. I realize that this thread has been derailed a bit... so let's get back on course, alright? |

I know because I own FUNi's First and Second stage box sets. And no, those links should be dual audio - English and Japanese w/ TP's subtitles. A FULL TP rip. And yes, Bozzy, let this be the end of it. I wonder how they'll package their releases... | ||

i'm hoping they do box sets, because loose DVD's would kill my budget. Maybe just re-release season 1 and 2 box sets? That would be nice Then season 3 is a movie so 1 disk and season 4 it wouldn't matter as much since i'd consider buying the loose DVD's | ||

With Slim discs would be nice... I like how my box set of Nadesico (a mecha anime) is pretty pedestrian in terms of the space it takes up. | ||

If I remember correctly Funimation brought us a heavily edited version of Dragonball, then for an encore they released Dragonball Z, which they managed to shorten from the origional 294 Japanese episodes to 276 American episodes. I think that Funimation is aiming to get Initial D onto cartoon network, something which TokyoPop could not do, that is where their money will come from with DVD sales after they have build a big enough demand for the show being the icing on the cake. now there's a few things that they have no control over namely censorship and rating ,for the age group that they are targetting with this. so don't get too excited as yet and wait for their translation of it. |

I think that if they're willing to re dub the first 3 stages its gotta be better. They're going to want to make money off of this ofcourse. so if they are indeed going through with the re dubbing then they have no choice but to make it better. They have to give both old and new fans a reason to buy the DVDs. | ||

I numbered the parts of your post so it would be easier to answer each part. 1. The only reason the series was cut to 276 episodes the first time was because Pioneer, the original license holders, made the edits. The first 67 episodes were heavily edited down to 53. Now, those same 53 episodes were dubbed by The Ocean Group. FUNimation came in after DBZ was cancelled on Cartoon Network (fans will remember the endless reruns until FUNi picked it up). They picked up the series and distributed edited and uncut episodes that were forced to follow the hacked episode numbering that Pioneer started, creating the "276 episodes" problem. FUNimation couldn't do a damn thing to the original 67 episodes until 2004, when Pioneer (which had since become Geneon) lost their license to those episodes. The redubbing efforts by FUNimation since then have produced box sets that comprise all 291 episodes in their entirety. It was not at all FUNimation's fault. Thank Pioneer/Geneon for raping DBZ way back when. 2. I totally agree with you on that. They will have to air it on Adult Swim if they want to reach the target demographic, though, and there's a lot of competition there. Marketing an 11 year old anime (First Stage) amidst the modern shows is going to be TOUGH if they want to do this chronologically. 3. If it airs on [as] as I believe it would, there would ONE edit to the series since [as] standards would only censor the extremely brief nudity shot in Extra Stage. The rest of the series is standard TV-14 stuff, nothing to worry about. | ||

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | The enjo kosai bit was severely downplayed from the manga, remember. All we saw in the anime was Natsuki and Papa talking to each other, and none of the bedroom antics. The fact that they were having sex was only implied, so censorship for a TV-14 audience would be pointless. |

I decide to do some browsing when I find this absolute GEM of a thread. Simply stunning. UmmYeahOk, you are a f**king moron. I am getting that out of the way now. Your Anti-TP ranting is played out and old. People do not agree with you, stop trying to force your beliefs and the such onto others. You have your opinion and they have theirs. If you cannot accept it this may not be the forum for you. Good luck in the real world and life with an attitude such as that. You are one of those people that when proved wrong or proved to be an idiot goes into the "OMG UR A NERD VIRGIN NO LIFE LOSER WHO LIVES WITH THEIR PARENTS AND HAS NO JOB AND NO GIRL LOLOLOLOLOLOL!" spats. It is annoying. Stop. You want attention we can see that, you want to be liked on the internet. Guess what? You aren't. Want to know why? Shit like that. Watch out we have a Mr. INTERNET TOUGH GUY coming through. I think it is time for to start addressing some of your GRAND points.
Apparently, reading comprehension is not your strong point. As a fan of Initial D, I picked a few up out of curiousity and knowing the Original Content (read: Japanese Version) was on the disc. Yes, I was disappointed with the dubbing but it still is worth it for the quality of the Japanese version. So amazing. I do not see how a perfectly intact Japanese version is crap unless you do not understand it, in which iirc there are subtitles, but seeing as you can not read or comprehend very well, I guess recommending that is out of the question. What I wanted to say is, watching the japanese version of the show is worth the money.
Of course you wouldn't waste your money on a dying medium. No one would which is why VHS tapes aren't really used for releases. All I see is Blu-Ray and DVD. Yes DVD is still popular not a dying medium, which is why most new releases are on Blu-Ray and... -gasp-...DVD. But, seeing as you think DVDs are a dying medium and you wouldn't waste your money on them, it is obvious you are one of those kids who has everything handed to them, and think it is Blu-Ray all the way. Since it is probably what you have sitting in your living room that your parents paid for. inb4youdontknowmeimake$500000ayear. While Blu-Ray is good, DVDs are still cheaper to produce and more affordable to the majority of the market.
-Sigh-, they did do something right though, they kept a japanese version on the DVD. For you to say it is a fan of the japanese version's fault for TP to keep releasing them is hardly the case. Most if not all were bought because OMG STREET RACING ON TEH TOUGE ANIME mentality or by parents as gifts. The 1% of people that bought them to check out the English version realized it was crappy and bought the rest for the superior Japanese version are not to blame. inb4WATsuperiorJapaneseUSAUSAUSA He did buy a foreign copy hence the superior Japanese version on the DVD. Tokyopop sees their sales and are like OMGOMG WE ARE TEH RICHES because of the DVD. But, what they don't know is why some of the people continued to purchase them. Such as myself and others for the Japanese version that is on the DVD. So, yes by purchasing the TP DVD's you are in fact buying the foreign copy.
Seems that you have never bought anything. Which further strengthens my argument that you are a child. Most places in my experience once a DVD is opened it, which they are if you find out it is damaged, can only be exchanged for the same thing, because we do live in an age of DVD burning and pirating, and they can not confirm that you did not copy it or not or if the damage came from you trying to copy it. I am not using you refering to you. I am using you in ther terms of the general consumer.
You like it dubbed because you can't read. The above is quoted to emphasize the stupidity. You watched te fansub which is in fact the japanese version. Guess what, with the TP DVD's you can enjoy it again. But, since you seem to be a child still maybe just muting it and pretend to make your own story while watching would better suit you. "Vroom Vroom Tak, I will beat you down this mountain before you can deliver that Tofu YAY"
Apparently, Battle Stage was released a looooooooooooong time ago.
You claim to not be an anime purist but are sitting here b*tching about quality of the anime you watched. See a few quotes above the bolded text. Oxymoron much.
FAUX f**k YEAH! If you found nothing wrong with the 5.1 Japanese originals on the TP DVD why would you throw them away? Again, an non-anime purist complaining about quality. Ugh.
He could have said Hicktown, Missouri and you would have said "So, youre a Hicktowner. That explains the better-than-you attitude that I mistook for LA pride." It isn't a better-than-you attitude. It is simply that he spoke with authority on a subject he knows quite a bit about and made you feel a bit stupid. Don't take it so hard man. It is okay to be wrong sometimes.
Defending the quality of a version or the quality of the japanese version on the same DVD is not defending the TP version itself.
HEY ME TOO IVE ONLY BEEN ACTIVE RECENTLY!!!!! tl;dr: Shut the f**k up and get the f**k out. You are a f**king downie, and we all hope you get hit by a bus full of rainbow colored dildos. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Actually early 2002... February 2002 to be exact... @ryo below: That might have been when it got fansubbed... Although so far the only fully fansubbed version of Battle Stage is the one I did some QA for N1. The originally one released by Soldats (I think it was) was missing a few races since they used the pay-per-view airing as its source whereas N1 used the R2 DVD.
