"Sumimasen. We are sorry."
Please accept our apologies for not sending out a newsletter sooner. You will
receive these emails at least once a month. We appreciate your comments and do
consider them. Many of you have the same questions and issues. Here are answers
to the most asked questions:
=============================================================
Q- Will we produce Dragon Ball GT?
A- Dragon Ball is a series where each episode builds on the previous episode's
storyline. We are currently in the process of producing and broadcasting the DBZ
episodes. We have every intention of producing all of the episodes, including
the rest of Dragon Ball. We have just produced and released new episodes for
Cartoon Network which are currently airing. We hope to proceed to Dragon Ball
GT next.
Q- Will there be a Season 4?
A- As you are aware, FUNimation is the production company. Cartoon Network
decides which episodes to air and when. Regardless of Cartoon Network's plans,
FUNimation is going to produce episodes for a 4th Season and will make them
available on home video. We know that many of you want uncut DBZ. Although we
must edit the series for TV (FCC guidelines), we will continue to release both
Uncut and Edited versions on Home Video.
Q- Why aren't there any Video Games?
A- Unfortunately, the Bandai Dragon Ball video games are not available in the
USA. Since FUNimation did not design these games, we cannot manufacture them and
get them out to you guys. However, we are talking to several companies
interested in producing games and will be providing additional information as
soon as we can. Many of you have said that a game is being made for Sega's
Dreamcast System. We are not aware of it. If you have any details, please let
us know.
Q- Why did we change the voices?
A- Hey, we don't like changing the voices. But you have to realize that
sometimes the voice actors can no longer record the voices for a variety of
reasons. Many of the old voice actors have moved on to new commitments, and we
have moved our recording facilities from Canada to Texas. Please be patient and
give the new actors a chance, we think they'll grow on you.
Q- Why isn't the Website updated?
A- We are currently redesigning the site in Flash. Look for new stuff coming
shortly.
Q- What are the latest DBZ Video Releases?
A- We just released three new videos which should be showing up any day now at
your local retailers. These are:Frieza - ClashFrieza -Desparation
Frieza - Super Saiyan Goku.
These are available in both Uncut and Edited Versions. You can find them at our
online store, https://www.funimation.net/DBZStore.shtml, and at most video
retailers.

NEW PRODUCTS
Great news. More Dragon Ball Z products are going to be available this year.
Bad news is that many of them will still be in short supply. Some of the
manufacturers are flying in products to try to meet the demand, but simply
cannot get them manufactured and shipped fast enough. You can always look on
our website for Dragon Ball Z products.
This is a list of products available by Christmas.
