...this is from a Japanese friend of mine, 
upon seeing some American subtitled DBZ from the 
DVD's...it's amusing that I got this e-mail today 
after the thread the other day.

Now, just in case, were these subs from Pioneer's 
DVDs, or Funimation's DVDs?

Further-- I can't vouch for the quality of 
Funimation's DBZ subs (don't care for the show), 
but their release of Blue Gender is exemplary-- 
no cuts (not even missing eyecatches or teasers), 
good subs, and great video and audio.  If they 
treat the forthcoming Lupin III: Secret of 
Twilight Gemini as well as they're doing with 
Blue Gender, then I'll be feeling very good 
indeed about Fruits Basket.
