News: May 30, 2001: DVD Delays
Dragonball Z DVD Delays :
FUNimation has delayed the Dragonball Z: World Tournament and DBZ: Frieza- Transformation
DVDs from their original release date of June 12 until June 26th. No reason has been given
for the delay.
Oh well I guess we will have to wait some more for these. It's not like we weren't waiting
before. :^)
News: May 11, 2001: New DVDs and Episodes
DVDs Setbacks:
The Garlic Jr. DVD's that were scheduled to come out in June and July have been moved.
We will let you know the rescheduled release dates as soon as they are available. Z
Warriors Prepare has also been rescheduled. We are adding the Episodes 106-108 from the
Trunks Prelude to Terror video to the Z Warriors Prepare DVD so it will contain 5
episodes (106-110). Continue to check here for updates on the VHS and DVD release
schedule.
Just a little bit More:
This just in: World Tournament - The Draw and World Tournament - Blackout, which are
scheduled for VHS release on July 17, are anticipated to be the first videos to have
simultaneous release of VHS and DVD. That means you will be able to get these videos on
DVD July 17. This is the anticipated schedule, which means that it is not final and
there could be a change. This is very exciting news. In addition, it is anticipated
that every release after these will be simultaneous with VHS and DVD, providing that
any new video release has not aired on Cartoon Network. Be sure to regularly check the
FAQ's for updates on the VHS and DVD release schedules.

This doesn't particulary affect me because I'm buying all the Dragonball Z DVDs Next Year
but for those of you that buy it when they come out this will help build that collection
a little bit more.

on edited and uncut VHS on August 8th.

On Monday, 5/7/2001 Eric Phan of
Planet Namek Says Goodbye:
I'd like to bid a fond farewell to Planet Namek and its visitors. I joined
the site because of its reliable server and the work ethic of its staff - MrE, Kaio, and
SkullMac, who've I've very much enjoyed working with. It's been almost four years since I
opened up The Weekly Dragon Ball Chapters (which later became Daily) and began fanscanning.
With the series fanscanned, and me being in college, I haven't been an active presence online
for almost a year. Also, while I still retain some fondness for DB, my fire for it has subsided.
Rather than remain an inactive staff member, I'd instead like to say goodbye. Thanks to
everyone who's ever helped me out - there's so many of you!
For those of you that
are curious about my current interest, check out my small and humble site at
http://usa.internations.net/health/hglog/ As for anime and manga, I'm *very* impressed by the
manga series Lone Wolf & Cub which is being released by Dark Horse every month. If you like
manga, check it out! I personally enjoy it more than DB - it's that good!
On a personal note, I thought Eric was a great contributor to planetnamek. I know how hard it is
to do a web site and school at the same time. Good luck Eric!

in prime time ratings (1.7) and third place in total day ratings (1.1) among all
ad-supported cable networks, continuing the network's remarkable first-quarter
ratings and delivery growth pattern. Tweens 9-14, kids 6-11 and kids 2-11 all

delivery record for the month. In total day, tweens 9-14 and kids 6-11 set
