I've heard that their "uncut" DBZ series did still cut some things. Or did 
they do another uncut? (Not that it really matters. As much as I used to 
love DBZ, I got tired of it a long time ago.)

That's good to hear. The whole anime/manga localization industry (at least 
English-localization anyway) seems to have really gotten a lot better over 
the years. "Flipped" left-to-right mangas are an ancient relic, and I find 
myself going for anime subs less and less: for instance, the English dubbing 
on Death Note was amazingly good. I tired listening to the japanese audio on 
that, and actually rather disliked it by comparison.
