Re: SAY-IN - SPECIAL BEAM CAN-IN - SUN GOKU - DESTRUCTO DISK | Why does Dragon Ball STILL suffer with these shortcomings
....To be honest, though, Funi's dubbing is still tolerable, serviceable, watchable... If you can't/won't watch subbed, you're not going to have a completely bastardised experience like you would if you watched their pre-Kai dubs. But there's absolutely no reason why Funi should still be pulling th...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release
Yeah, it honestly surprises me that FUNi hasn't bought proper film prints or HD copies from Toei as of now. It's kind of odd how they've got film masters for DBZ but not the other two series because you would think at some point they would want something of higher quality across the board than thos...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release
I've been watching through it aswell and I don't think the quality declines although I'm just at the end of the cell fight right now. There was however a flashback in the last disc I watched that had footage of gohans previous fights and it looked awful. Like I've been overlooking a lot of the prob...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release
That's exactly what i'm saying, if FUN were to release all three series in a good proper HD remaster now without being cropped to fake widescreen or DNR'ed to oblivion in a Dragon Box type presentation i'd absolutely buy them for sure. But if they actually did that, the price would probably be insa...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release
Well that's at least a silver lining in all of this. Each of DB's and GT's DVD releases here have been overall decent for the most part even with their shortcomings though i wish FUNi and Toei both put more effort into marketing them alongside DBZ, but as you say they haven't been endlessly re rele...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release
That's the unfortunate thing about it, because Z is the one part of the series that really took off back in the day more than anything else so FUNi put all their stock and effort into it and that's why it's been constantly re released over and over while the original series and GT sit off to the si...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release
After combing through this thread so much and absorbing all the juicy info, I'm debating weather it's a good or a bad thing that GT/OG DB haven't got a real home release since the days of DVD. Seeing how Funi treats their DBZ releases so poorly, i'd be afraid to see what they would do to poor DB or ...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release
That really is such a good idea. Looking outside of DB, there are a lot of shows that I can think of that have would benefit from and SD Blu Ray re-release just to condense the sheer ammount of episodes onto less discs. Spongebob Squarepants released the "First 100 Episodes" on DVD back i...

Re: What is the lamest thing to come out of modern DBZ?
People have their qualms with the Daimao arc, but I certainly wouldn't call it "objectively bad" by any stretch. For me, I've always argued that the 22nd Budokai all the way through the Namek arc is the single best uninterrupted stretch of the entire franchise. Well no wonder. This part o...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release
You could argue that a 4K Blu-Ray would allow for more episodes per disc, but non-4K content on a 4K disc is still a foreign concept for many people , and you wouldn't be able to make as much of a profit off of it. The average Joe who buys a Blu-Ray is probably not aware whether a show was shot on ...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release
And I think it looks good, but not correctly. If I didn't know everything I know about it, I'd say it looks fine. But because I know about this thing, I'm of the mindset of if you're going to do it, why can't you just do it right? Exactly my feelings on the 30th Ann. release. I don't think it's goo...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release
Well, yeah, but lies in most marketing campaigns are often small & can be overlooked. FUNi's marketing campaigns have so many lies, including contradictory ones from their earlier campaigns, when it comes to DBZ that it's genuinely frustrating. I've never seen a company continually cynically mi...

Re: How did you come to know about dragonball?
This is my first ever post, and this thread will probably be the best opportunity to express my feelings about DB without having to create a thread that'd eat up space or post in another non-relevant thread. This is gonna be a long one. I'm very much a newbie to the DB universe. Go easy on me lads ...
