Re: Camera Pans!

Would someone mind taking a camera pan of Goku transforming into a Super Saiyan for the first time (preferably using the Dragon Box footage)? Just to be clear, I don't mean a pan of the aftermath of his transformation (which we already have), I am alluding to the part of his transformation where the...

Re: Dragonball Back in the Day

With regards to the 'DBZ-scene', I was very active online in the early naughties. I was a regular poster at Funimation's first forum between mid-2002 and early 2003, the UKDB.net forums between October 2002 and July 2003, the Ocean DB.net forums between July 2003 and early 2004, The Otaku Alliance f...

Re: Listing for "Ocean Dub"-specific DBZ: "Rock the Dragon"

So wait, is this interlaced or not? It certainly doesn't *look it* anymore... Also, why did no one else who owns the set pick up on this mistake? Surely you can't all be using VLC Player...

Re: Listing for "Ocean Dub"-specific DBZ: "Rock the Dragon"

Yeah, the Madman colours, darkness and encoding are the closest approximation to how I remember seeing the show all those years ago. Furthermore, the interlacing on the collector's set looks dire. I don't think I'll be bothering with this one after all...

Could one of you upload some screen caps? I'd like to see what the video quality is like. Thanks :)

FUNimation said 'All the footage is from the T.V. source and has not been remastered or modified in any way', so there's no doubt all the original title cards will be present.
Could you link me to where they said that?

Re: Listing for "Ocean Dub"-specific DBZ: "Rock the Dragon"

Can I ask the Brits among us, how are you planning to buy this boxset? I'm rather nervous about importing the set via Amazon.com, because I don't want to fall victim to large custom duties. Any help would be much appreciated :)

Re: Do you think TOEI will ever consider doing a restoration

Whenever this issue is discussed on here there is an ugly underbelly of group think. Why does this have to be a zero sum game? That is to say, why can't we reduce *some* of the grain, but not to the ridiculous (and manifestly destructive) extent that we saw with the bricks? I'd rather a less noisy p...

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods

Let's think back when we were kids, most of us were pretty exited when DBZ brought a new transformation, or a new character appeared, or a new saga started, no matter how silly or redundant or full of plot-holes they seem to us nowadays. And when it finally ended, we were sad, weren't we? We wanted...

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods

Dragon Ball Z should've ended at the Freeza saga. Everything after that got way too carried away. Now we have Super Saiyan God. Hopefully they stop making movies after this one. I would agree with you in terms of the TV series. In terms of the movies however, I couldn't care less if they bastardise...

Re: Listing for "Ocean Dub"-specific DBZ in July

I should have known better than to trust Wikipedia. Not sure what to make of this release anymore then... There's a site too! Haha. But I don't think it rules anything out necessarily. Episode 26 (technically episode 35) is the last episode of the Saiyan arc. "Departure DVD: Episode 26 - Battl...

Re: Listing for "Ocean Dub"-specific DBZ in July

Pioneer's boxset release of the Saiyan Saga comprised of 26 episodes, and if you look at the box art for this release, this also states 26 episodes (as opposed to the figure of 29 given in the item description). This would strongly suggest that this release is going to be a re-release of the origin...

Re: Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods

Do we know if this film is going to released in 3d yet? Assuming this is even feasable for a hand-drawn, animated film, the idea of a 3d fight scene is really appealing to me.
