Re: FUNimation provides closure for the Ultimate Uncut Special Edition cancellation

Additionally, the Funimation singles DVDs represent the closest we can get to the original broadcast colors (besides the crushed blacks) on an official release. If the Ultimate Uncut sets had been completed, we would essentially be able to have mostly accurate colors for all 291 episodes. As it is t...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" FUNimation English Dub Official Announcement and Discussion Thread

That Supreme Kai music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNxpDaULjEs) was awesome! It's so weird how some of Sumitomo's tracks are great while others (like the disco track) are entirely unfitting and cheap-sounding.

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" FUNimation English Dub Official Announcement and Discussion Thread

I'm so glad they're not making us wait for weekly episodes. What are the chances though that they'll release a "Season 5" and "Season 6" set consisting of 34-35 episodes? It'd be weird to not have season sets for The Final Chapters when the previous episodes had them.

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" FUNimation English Dub Official Announcement and Discussion Thread

Well if they signed a NDA, then it's understandable that they won't talk about it. Still, the fact remains that the episode with their recordings was officially & legally released on demand. It's a thing now whether FUNi will acknowledge it or not. Ultimately, Toei's misguided restrictions faile...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" FUNimation Dub Official Discussion Thread

Loving Super so far and its dub. But as I've noticed in Kai: The Final Chapters, Sumitomo's score is really hit or miss sometimes. Beerus' theme is really ominous and fits well. But then you get that stupid disco track from Kai for Goku's entrance and it is just awful. Is Sumitomo trying to make tha...

But the "My power is maximum" meme had been around before the TFS Brolly episode. And TheBlackPaladin had mentioned knowing something interesting about the dub (since he's a voice actor)...and this was last year? Or before that? I can't even remember. But if this is what he was talking abo...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" FUNimation English Dub Official Announcement and Discussion Thread

What do you guys think of the music? I think it's not bad for the most part, although I do have a few complaints: 1.) It sometimes feels very cheap and video game-y in the way it sounds. The recap music comes to mind. 2.) That disco track is not very good lol 3.) A lot of the tracks seem....generic,...

Re: One of the original DBZ directors says FUNi Blu-rays where "what it was supposed to look like to begin with"

As you can see, none of them are right, but the singles are closest, despite being too dark -- an inherent issue with those masters. Once you get later on in the series , this becomes less of an issue. Examples are from the Boo arc, but they vanish midway through Freeza, really. Either way, the poi...

Re: One of the original DBZ directors says FUNi Blu-rays where "what it was supposed to look like to begin with"

It was a little later than the mid-90's, but they would and they did. Ajay probably didn't know any better whenever he told you otherwise. Ok well what about the Rock the Dragon set? The colors on it look slightly different than the singles. Maybe those represent the unaltered colors on FUNi's mast...

Re: One of the original DBZ directors says FUNi Blu-rays where "what it was supposed to look like to begin with"

Things like the overly pink skin tones are examples of a good baseline to adjust the colors, but anyone trying to make the Goku/Vegeta fight with a bright blue sky is going to be pushing the blues as hard as FUNimation did on their original digibeta releases. Are you saying that the original FUNi s...

Re: Cheap digital DBZ seasons at the Microsoft Store

They probably have it where the HD version uses the level set footage while the SD version uses the widescreen version (and what probably happened was you bought the SD version instead of the HD version which is why it looks like OB footage), that's how the PS3 PSN does it so I'd check on that and ...

It would be great if TeamFourStar, once they get to the Buu Saga, manage to get the FUNi actors to play their own parody versions.

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" FUNimation English Dub Official Announcement and Discussion Thread

This first set is going to have 22 episodes. 99-121 is 23 so that'll leave 23 for the next set and the one after that. Just did the math on my computer's digital calculator, it's 22. If it started at 100, then it'd be 21. Add 1 more & its 22...unless I'm mistaken. He's right, it's actually 23. ...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" FUNimation English Dub Official Announcement and Discussion Thread

For this Blu-ray, given its episode count & episode numbering, I would've preferred it to be called "Season 5". The "Part One" label doesn't work here because "Part One " and "Episodes 99-121 " are at odds with each other, and because there are too many ep...

Interesting that they're calling it "Part One" but numbering the episodes as 99-121. Also interesting is that there are 23 episodes in one part! The previous Kai parts had only 10-13 episodes per part right? This actually seems more like a "Season" type of release. And their form...

Re: "Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters" FUNimation English Dub Official Announcement and Discussion Thread

When did Nicktoons lose (relinquish?) rights for Kai? Because if The Final Chapters started being recorded in 2013, they probably thought it would air on Nicktoons in the first half of 2014. But then, Toonami acquired the rights and I guess they wanted to air one episode a week starting from the beg...
