I was thinking of the Dragon Ball universe as a whole, putting together Dragon Ball the first with Dragon Ball Z, Z is essentially what takes place after the First so you could argue that The Dragon Ball franchise is one long running series but with chapters, such as the first original Dragon Ball being chapter 1 and DBZ being the most resent chapter. Counting all the Dragon Ball series together, their has to be close to 9000 episodes. (realistically maybe 500)

I think DB is 153.
DBZ is right around 300.
DBGT is 64.
13 DBZ movies, 2 or 3 DB movies, a DBGT movie, and I think there's TV specials as well (Bardock, History of Trunks, dunno if there's others).

So whatever that adds up to.

Lets see, 153 + 300 + 64 = 517, so the franchise is over 500 episodes. An with the movies and specials, there is plenty for future dragon ball fans to watch.

That's why it's getting rereleased in season sets... they know they can sell it to new fans, old fans that didn't get it, and double-dippers. Well, DBZ, anyway. They're really lagging on the DB release, due to some hangup with another company having the rights to the first 13 episode or something like that.

Still, quality adaptation of the manga or not, DBZ is a consistent mover.

A lot, no doubt. I know there's stuff that's not out here, but we have in stock:

0079
0080
08th Team
0083
F91
G Gundam
Gundam Wing
Endless Waltz
Z Gundam
Gundam Seed
Gundam Seed Destiny

I know a couple of those are movies, but still. That's a lot.

[edit - there's also a boxset for Seed movies.]

I think Dragonball Z would have been 10 episodes tops if they would cut out all the floating around powering up glowing and shouting AHHHHHHH shit that seems to take up whole episodes. Mad

Also I swear I once heard it referred to as Dragonballz insteod of dragonball Z in a voice over on an early Cartoon Network promo. Laughing

Nope... the owner was all set to start this big online push where he was gonna try and franchise his stores out and just serve as the distributor, but then he decided to buy a restaurant instead. So the restaurant's flailing and has had 3-4 website retools, while the one for our stores has barely anything up and cannot process orders, etc. It's something I want to push him about once the holidays are over.
