    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"

    Loved the video!💕 Just started my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They offer a huge variety of digital comics for every genre, and lifetime updates too!😍
  • 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.

    They need to do a nice uncut 3 in 1 hardcover release like Darkhorse did for berserk. It's ridiculous there isn't currently a Dragon Ball release with both good print quality and uncensored.

    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!)
  • The boxset is great, but personally I think the VizBigs for DBZ are pretty underrated! The page quality is great and the action looks awesome in the bigger size. I also really like the silhouettes on the spines of Goku :)
  • An absolutely amazing series. Great structure and detailed description including everything a collector would potentially want to know when deciding for a version to get. I especially liked the concluding summary in the end to round off the previously said, which gives a nice final overview. Please keep up the great work.
  • @glompworthyash
    Absolute great breakdown! Glad to know I’ve been picking up the paperbacks one by one and might eventually get some color editions down the road
  • @bigmaw369
    This is my new favorite channel now. I'm loving these series. Awesome collection by the way.
  • @Dragolato
    Been looking at which ones to pick up, loved the video, very informative!
  • @tonyamerica4481
    Another great comparison! Definitely helps me think about what I wanna do when I wanna read a series I haven't done yet
  • @Henry-kz4gn
    Im currently considering getting the box sets, Im sure this will be a good one. The comic book versions were my first manga reads as a kid, and I really enjoyed the first full color edition book.
  • @Dragon164z
    incredibly helpful, exactly what i was looking for, very well done video! thank you!
  • @chinohormann
    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! ).
  • @freshsquid7339
    I loved how you showed the price and overall diving through the difference in this video! Very informative and fun!
  • I needed this. Thank you very much. I’m planning on getting the box sets because they look cool and I also like the mini gifts that come with it
  • @Tannerlund45
    This is so informative. Thank you so much for this! Awesome video!!
  • Thank you, this video was a massive help in deciding which route I should eventually take. :)
