A really underrated aspect of the 3 in 1 editions is that it doesn't seperate "Dragon Ball" & "Dragon Ball Z", just the like original Japanese releases it's all considered one series as "Dragon Ball"

I was impressed with the extensive comparison you gave for all the different formats, their pros and their cons. I also liked the fact that there were no jokes, no long tangents, just factual information and your opinions mixed here and there, it allows for a better pacing overall. If all your videos are like this, you might be one of the best review channels for manga content.

@DutchBondFan 11 месяцев назад

I was always annoyed that Viz only released the Full Color editions for the Saiyan and Freeza saga's in English. They are available in full color for the full series in most other languages, but somehow not in English.... So I took matters into my own hands. I downloaded all of the digital full color mangas of all the other saga's in English (Boyhood saga, Demon Piccolo, Android/ Cell and Majin Buu) And had them all professionally printed into volumes at an online copyshop. I had two volumes printed every month and have been doing so for over a year. I am going by the Kanzenban chapter orders with these. Needless to say they look just like they came from an official publisher! Very happy with them! I will post a video on my collection once it's complete (only 4 more majin buu saga volumes to go and I have the whole series in color complete!)

It's wild that funimation can't just do a good release of what's their most popular IP, at least the original Dragon Ball and GT are decent.

@SaberStash 2 года назад

Amazing comparison! This is gonna help a lot of people. I'm very happy you mentioned the censorship aspect. It's very sad and unacceptable imo that Viz have not released a fully uncensored version of the Dragon Ball manga in English, I find it insulting to the original creator and to the fans. This type of weird unnecessary censorship is one of the main reasons why I collect manga in Japanese only, I don't want to support English publishers when they make such choices, and this is Dragon Ball we're talking about here, not some weird obscure forgotten manga, it is what it is. I've mentioned before that I haven't had the chance to get into DB yet, but I'm looking forward to reading it! If I ever collect the manga I'll either go with the regular Japanese tankobons or the beautiful Kanzenbans.

@AnimeCollective 2 года назад

Thank you so much and I really hope so!!! 😄 There's so many editions to choose from and agreed about the censorship. I would love to get a completely original, uncensored version some day, but may end up getting the Japanese volumes like you in the future once I complete my learning. Here's hoping we get a fully uncensored release in the future!

@great159 Год назад

Do like me and buy the full color versions in Japanese. That way you'll have all of the Dragonball and Dragonball Z mangas in full color which is the BEST option💯

@dugonman8360 5 месяцев назад

From what I can gather, they ended up having to censor them due to parents complaining and threatening to sue them if they didn't censor bulmas boobies and Gokus Weiner. I don't mind the regular volume being censored. Gotta do what you gotta do but if I'm paying for a colored version or a vizbig, I want the original unedited, uncensored version. I'm an adult, I'm not going to faint if I see Gokus penis!

@kalevipoeg6916 4 месяца назад

Agreed. Some people don't get it, and think "you just want to see boobs and blood, it's not necessary" - they're missing the point. The point is that an artist's original work should NEVER be censored for sensitivities of some western audience who live in bubbles and can't handle either of the above like adults without losing their minds. I don't care if it's nudity, blood, or the whole HFIL / Mr. Satan/Hercule thing - if you cannot show it in its entirety, uncensored, then you should not be showing it at all. That's my mindset. This is Akira Toriyama's work (RIP, Toriyama-sensei) and now more than EVER I'm concerned about his work being watered down by western agents. I want every line exactly as he drew it - exactly as he intended - with not one single change aside from translation. If I can't get that in English, I'd rather go through the trouble of learning Japanese - not just for Dragonball, but for ALL Japanese content that either doesn't get brought over to the west or is censored by the west. I taught myself Mandarin Chinese, so it wouldn't be the first time I've learned a language. You know it's funny, 10 years ago I went to Japan and I could SWEAR I bought a volume of Dragonball while in Tokyo. I either did or I picked it up and almost bought it - if I have it, it's in a box in storage somewhere - but I don't remember at all if I actually pulled the trigger on the purchase or not. I also recall seeing a shirt in Tokyo of dead Yamcha in a crater, and THAT one I should have bought.

@dugonman8360 4 месяца назад

@@kalevipoeg6916 I don't mind if there's a censored version out there so parents don't go apeshit that their little tykes saw Gokus Weiner or Bulmas boobs, but can we at least get one edition where there are no edits, no watered down dialogue and presented exactly as it was always supposed to be presented? I'm an adult, I would like to read the comic as it was intended to be read.

@Vashkey 2 года назад

I've been buying the manga the past few months and reading them and I was buying the full color manga, which doesn't end cleanly into a next volume. If you buy the full color manga and aren't just a collector and are actively reading you'll need to buy volume 12 if the singles afterwards since the last full color manga ends part way through 12. From that point you can continue on into the next part of whatever method you choose to take, which in my case I went with the vizbigs so volume 5 of the vizbigs.

@Clockworkian138 2 года назад

Loved the breakdown. What a shame that there hasn't been one definitive edition for such an influential manga like Dragon Ball in English. Not releasing the full color editions is especially annoying considering that it is done and released in various other languages. Tinfoil hat time: I wonder if the licensing issue is just an excuse, and the full color editions not being released in English has more to do with the original translator being arrested on some pretty heinous charges. The last release of the full color manga was in January 2017, less than a month after he was arrested and days before he was formally charged. Maybe Viz wants a new translation before any further release of the original Dragon Ball manga? I mean, I sure as hell would.

@BGcam 2 года назад

A thoroughly researched comparison, I appreciate your attention to detail. Nicely done. I’m collecting the 3 in 1’s because they are most comfortable to read. Poor quality paper is an accurate description, but it gives a retro feel and I enjoy the flexibility and lightness of it. The digitized color editions don’t do anything for me, and the original color pages in the Viz Big, with the watercolor-esque, copic marker aesthetic, are lovely, but too many drawbacks as you stated with the censorship.

@sojourner650 2 месяца назад

After spending some time with large-format, full-color English comics recently, that Full Color edition is looking really nice. I did a comparison, and the 8 Full Color books cover DBZ volumes 1-11 (and a few chapters of volume 12). That's about 43 percent of the DBZ saga, and I think that's a great start. There is one negative: It appears the introductory material (such as character bio's and summary of story) that is at the start of the normal manga volumes does NOT appear at the front of the Full Color volumes. I'm not sure it's included at all!

@sojourner650 5 месяцев назад

These videos are great. I loved your video on Death Note as well. Just like I would choose Black Edition for Death Note, I would totally go VIZ BIG for DB / DBZ. There was a contradiction in the cropping details: the video first states VIZ BIG crops horizontally the most, but the summary right after says VIZ BIG crops horizontally the least.

@chinohormann 2 года назад

Great video! It's handy seeing all the differences laid out between the releases. I kinda like the Vizbigs, but they're so large, it's kinda fiddly when I read them right before I go to sleep. Yeah man... I really wish they'd continue on with the Full Color releases. I loved those. I already have all of DB and DBZ in the "tankobon" releases (the single volume books), all of Dragon Ball (not Z) in the Vizbig, and the first 3 volumes of the 3in1s. I also have the entire series in the "soshuhen" Japanese release (the collection made to emulate the original Shonen Jump printings... I think ). I spend way too much money on Dragon Ball stuff, lol ( _been a fan for over 30 years!_ ).

And there's the occasional chapters that have the limited color pages intact, but then are missing the pages with full color at the beginning of the chapter (example: chapter 44). The original colored pages were the main selling point for me, so it's a shame that they didn't get that right

Phenomenal break down. Dragonball has been released and re-released over and over again, and with Toriyama's passing, I felt as though I owed it to myself to read his original work. The box sets were the most attractive to me, but I wanted to be sure before spending that much. Censorship is unacceptable for me; so coupling that with the print quality and overall cost, it looks like the box sets are the best option. It's just too bad they didn't finish the series in color with the Full Color Editions. Those are gorgeous. Thanks for the great video!

The comic-style ones contained a few instances of nudity, so I wonder if those versions were the only truly unedited US releases.

@fgdj2000 2 года назад

I have collected the German version when I grew up, but since they‘re 25 years old and the translations are really dated (removing Dr. Slump references for instance since the Manga hadn’t been released in Germany), I felt the Vizbigs were an appropriate update. I can take some mild censorship (considering the German version wasn‘t) in exchange for a more accurate translation, better paper quality a bigger format and most importantly a restoration of most of the color pages. In an ideal world, there wouldn’t be any censorship and all the color pages as well as the „new“ Kanzenban ending of almost 20 years now. Maybe even a companion volume that includes Jaco the Galactic Patrolman and Neko Majin.

I was really divided with this one. I usually collect manga in 3 in 1 editions so it was between the 3 in 1s or the Vizbigs. I love the colored pages included in the Vizbigs, however I also don't like when some series get censored heavily. I think I'm going with the 3 in 1s, as they're not only cheaper, but overall more portable to me, and they're also not heavily censored. I don't mind the thin pages or print quality, but I did notice the color pages grey scaled in the singles looked darker than the 3 in 1s, so that did bother me. So, yeah, 3 in 1s it is.

@jamesjohnston5749 Год назад

I opted for the 3-in-1's for the original dragon ball. They're pretty convenient and super cheap so it made the most sense. My only disappointment with them is that they don't have the colour chapters. The way they've decoloured them makes Goku look black in a few chapters which is a bit weird lol

I was about to be super upset about the censorship for the vizbigs, mostly cause I already bought a couple and was planning on collecting the entire series through them so it's a bit late to make a switch. But if you look at it this way it's essentially just the more anime accurate version. If you grew up watching the show and still to this day love it and don't mind the censorship you've already seen there, really the vizbigs are the same experience you would be getting watching the show. I of course still prefer least censored regardless but it depends on how you look at it.

@otakuntraining 2 года назад

Wow, I didn’t even know about the full color editions. Another great video!

@AnimeCollective 2 года назад

I didn't know about them for quite some time as well! Definitely one of the lesser known releases. Thank you so much!!!

I've got the 3 in 1 set. I want a larger format like the Vizbigs but I'm holding out hoping they'll put out a hardcover set like what Dark Horse is doing with Berserk and Trigun.

Dang, the English version is $420? I spent around $280 for it in the Danish single volume editions. On top of that, I have a translation that isn't readily available online. I love checking the difference in translations when the English translation is brought up. (Especially since I consider the Danish translation the correct version, as it's got no reason to be constrained by anything.)

@AnimeCollective 2 года назад

Oh wow, thank you so much!!! Naruto is one of my favorites and I actually already have all of the editions so this is one that I can definitely do! I have it added to a list!

@joveller1522 2 года назад

Beautiful! Thank you for putting so much work and effort into collecting and creating these videos. Also, when the sneaker collection video coming? 👀👀

@AnimeCollective 2 года назад

Thank you so much!!! It really means a lot and I appreciate it!! That's so awesome that you mentioned sneakers! I didn't know if anyone would ever be interested in one on the channel (I still sneak them in from time to time into my room tours and review anime sneaker collabs), but it's great to know that you would be interested in one because it's another passion of mine.

@joveller1522 2 года назад

@@AnimeCollective i noticed them! You really surprised me when you casually mentioned Air Mags in one of your videos. I was like WHAAAAT!!

I love this comparison so much I need more of them. I would love to see a comparison of the spines of viz media manga's different logos.

@AnimeCollective 2 года назад

Man that's so awesome to hear! I definitely have a lot more videos like this one on the way. Good to know about the comparison of spines! Something that I can definitely review, even thinking it may be a good addition to the manga collecting video I have coming soon!

@mopey76 2 года назад

Really comprehensive video! Great job

@michaelrivera4299 Год назад

Great tips, so for physical I will go with the colored and the big edition. Digital I will go with individual and color. Thanks

I decided to buy the full color manga in Japanese since they have the full story on DB and DBZ and when the boxset gets re-released I’ll buy those together for DB and DBZ in english. One to read and one to admire and have with the rest of my dragonball collection.

@Nidstang_ Год назад

Are ALL the single versions "least censored" or only a specific version? I know Viz reprints are often censored, and original prints can be identified with the "cats eye" logo on the spine. For example, "cats eye" Naruto manga are uncensored whereas future reprints are censored. I know the "cats eye" Dragonball releases were rated with a T rating, but were later given an A (all ages) rating on reprints. Which version is most "least censored", or are all of the individual volumes the same?

@nicholasboleky3760 Год назад

Wow this is incredibly detailed. Thanks for doing this review.

@ivancalceteiroballesta368 Месяц назад

I actually read the first 3 volumes of Dragon Ball Z on the Shonen Jump app yesterday, I didn’t know where to start, but I’m going to leave it a while before getting into this as it’s a very long series. I’m going to start on others first, I’m currently reading Soul Eater, when I finish that I’ll move on to the rest of the stuff I have, Hellsing, Attack on Titan, Vagabond, Blade of the Immortal, Jujutsu Kaisen, Edens Zero, My Hero Academia, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure & Vinland Saga. It’s definitely going to take me a year to read all that stuff, at least, I’ve only finished 3 series, Berserk, Demon Slayer & Seven Deadly Sins.

@DanielPereira-ge4uw 2 года назад

Amazing video. Very clear and objective. We need more of this 😁.

@AnimeCollective 2 года назад

@Zdrax45 2 года назад

This video is really awesome ! As a european I learned a lot about the american edition, honestly i'm surprised to learn that Viz media US split the manga in 2 different manga to feat the anime adaptation, that's really strange because I think that this is the only country with that particularity...
