VHS Movie Reviews of Dragon Ball: Curse of Blood Rubies [VHS]

Movie Review: FUNimation, Please Release This Uncut in Japanese!
Summary: 1 Stars

Before I go on and rant why we true Dragon Ball fans need to see this uncut and in Japanese, I want to correct some false facts made in earlier reviews. This movie was based on the first thirteen episodes of Dragon Ball, not the other way around. People are thinking that this film was what started the Dragon Ball series. The TV series is based on the manga, and this film is based on the TV series.

Okay, so I'm not going to give you a review of this film because I honestly have never seen it. Let me just say this, don't go out and search for this VHS release because it is a waste of your time and money. This movie is heavily edited and includes the Ocean Group cast in it. It is not uncut with FUNimation's own cast like their more recent releases. I really could care less what dub is on this release since I am a fan of the original Japanese version, but I just wanted to let all you dub fans out there know.

Anyway, FUNimation is currently remastering the Dragon Ball series for season box set releases. While the remastering is nothing compared to the Japanese "Dragon Boxes" and not much overall, it is still watchable and you can see certain episodes uncut for the first time. It has been said by a FUNimation representative at a convention that they might be releasing this movie in a season set, but can you really trust everything you hear at a convention, especially from a FUNimation rep?

FUNimation will also be releasing American versions of the Z "Dragon Boxes" starting in November. This is the true remastering of the series. I am recommending this release to every Dragon Ball fan that wants to see the show as it was "meant to be seen." So, FUNimation hasn't stated whether or not they have gotten the Dragon Ball TV series or films in "Dragon Box" form, so don't hold your breath for that release. If you really want to see this movie in Japanese, buy the movie from a Japanese site (like Amazon Japan or CDJapan), and if you want to purchase the film in English, wait for FUNimation to release it remastered... just don't get this!

Thank you for reading my little review. Oh yeah, you are probably wondering where the actual review is! I have only read a summary of the film so I can't say much about it. It sounds like a great film and I recommend everyone go buy it if FUNimation ever re-releases it!
