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.

    Finally got an appointment with an ENT, but it's not for another month. It's already been 4- days of loud ringing in my left ear, substantial pain on left side of my neck and left side on the back of my head. Doctors here at the regular clinic put me on a couple different meds for a month that did absolutely nothing, then they told me there's nothing more they can do for me despite being in pain and my ear sounding like im underwater and ringing.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Then three chiropractor appointments which also didn't help at all so i didn't go to the 4th. Been trying to get ahold of this ENT clinic out of town for a week and finally got an appointment set up. But its not til the 17th of July so I have to suffer all this shit for nearly another month.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I hope relief from all of this is on the way because I've felt so defeated and severaly lacking in sleep because of the pain and ringing.
