Quick Question, I'm looking into geting the second boxset for GaoGaiGar and as far as I'm aware, dubbing stopped for GGG about half way though the series.

The problem is that every site I've read says that the last boxset is also dubbed. Can anyone Confirm this?

I'm going to buy it ether way (The Dub was suprisingly good on the first disk I got (before You ask, importing's a bitch) ) it's just something I want to clear up.

As far as I know, it's subbed only. Unless they decided to employ mad dub skills without letting anyone know. I've even mentioned the fact in a few forums, that quite a few of the major retail sites on the web list it as sub/dub, gah. But when it was announced that they were going to release the boxset, it was said it was going to be sub only Anime smile and I have yet to watch them yet, but I picked up the sets as well Smile

I didn't when I posted, as I was at work, so was hoping someone else would post to confirm as well, lol! But now that I'm home, I can check.
All five dvd cases in the box say:: Audio: Japanese. No mention of English, like the first dvds have.

Keep in mind, they rereleased the first half of the series in a box set, so there's a chance you might be looking at the box set for the first half of the series.

I have the first three volumes of the series, and now that they've rereleased the first half of the series in a boxset (at a much cheaper price), I'm unsure what to do. It would actually cost me less to buy the boxset of part 1 instead of getting the two remaining volumes, and I would like to have both boxes...but what do I do with the three original DVDs I have? I guess sell them somewhere?

I think the budget price compensates for the lack of a dub.

The 2nd box set is subbed only. That is definitely CONFIRMED considering I bought it.

Besides a few minor translation errors, it's worth the money.
