It seems that some people's dreams may come true after all. Here's the report:
"FUNimation is always looking for new ways of providing Anime to the fans. We are researching the viability of a 24-hour, 7-days a week TV channel focusing on Uncut, English dubbed Anime, available as an additional channel to your current basic satellite or cable package. This channel would include a wide breadth of great anime such as Dragon Ball, Yu Yu Hakusho, Kiddy Grade, Tenchi Muyo GXP, Case Closed, Fruits Basket, Blue Gender, and much more including titles from other production companies. "As you can see, FUNimation is evaluating the possibility of having a 24/7 TV channel with nothing but FUNi (and possibly other companies') anime on it. If you want to increase the chances of this coming true, send your feedback to Mr Fukunaga (FUNimation's President), or take this survey.Source: Dranet

Here's the report:
DBZ fans, the wait is over. This is probably the most anticipated DBZ item of all times. The first two seasons of Dragonball Z (1 to 53 episodes) that were originally released by Pioneer (present day Geneon) are targeted for release in summer 2005.Source: Saiyanz-RageThe first 3 Dragonball Z movie DVDs, and the first 17 Dragonball Z TV series DVDs have already been out of print since last year, beacuse Pioneer stoped production on them. But recently at Otakon con, FUNimation announced their plans to remaster and re-release uncut, uncensored DVD versions of the first 53 DBZ episodes, which will come out second quarter of 2005. But there has been absolutly no word on the status of the first 3 DBZ movies, yet.
Also in related news, The Dragonball GT movie (tv special) is due on November 16, 2004.

That's right, our 5th Official Best Signature Contest has just recently been announced in our Forums. You have until Saturday to nominate your signature, so you have time. Be sure not to procrastinate though. ;D
In other small news, similar to the Bojack Unbound flash page that the DragonBallZ.com team put together, a 'Lost Episodes' flash page has been put onto the Dragon Ball GT website. It includes, the Home Page, Lost Characters, Lost Images, Lost Story, Story of Pan, and Story of the Black Dragon Balls. Pretty informative if you're still 'Lost' about the Lost Episodes. :)
