Re: Dynit -an Italian BD upscale - Dragon Ball Blu Ray release

Those screenshots are screaming Selecta Vision so I'm not convinced there's anything meaningfully different here, and to be honest, even if there is a slight difference, these shots look terrible so it's a bit of a wash anyway.

RIP AB BD, you will be missed.

Re: Black background

It actually already exists. Go to your user control panel > board preferences and you'll see a "my board style" section. Change that to Kanzenshuu Dark and you'll have yourself dark mode!

Re: Why buy home video releases nowadays when you can just watch them via online streaming platforms?

Streaming compression is almost unanimously terrible. 20Mbps streams are nothing compared to the often 80Mbps of 4K Blu-rays. That difference tends to be even greater when you start going lower down the resolution range. The Dragon Box footage on Crunchyroll and Netflix looks abysmal compared to the ...

Is there any info about who animated Episode 60 at all? It's one of my favorites in terms of appearances, coloring/shading, along with linework. I couldn't find any information about 60.


These are Yamamuro corrections, though the thick linework has been done by whoever applied the correction ...

Re: Opinions on the Dragon Ball Daima soundtrack?

While I can't comment on the soundtrack album yet, the score in the show has been exceptionally frustrating.

Putting aside the fact that the mixing has pushed the music right down low, and the fact the placement has made it feel super sparse... I don't think it's very good? The instrumentation is ...

Whatever weird vendetta going on here needs to stop. Please stop causing this in every colour-related thread, lansing.

Re: Dragon Ball Daima: Episode 1 - Official Discussion Thread




Just gave the episode a good rewatch on Netflix with English subtitles this time and it sure is nice to see this commercial-free. My first viewing only had Chinese subs. It's going to be like this for the rest of the season.


Are the English subs of DB Daima on Taiwanese Netflix the same ...

Yeah, they are very clunky and awkward. I wish Toei would stop doing these in-house. It sucks to have to wait for the home release for better translations.

Re: Pun source of the name "Gomah"?

Pansy is from the flower pansy. Almost everyone has puns related to flowers. Glorio being from the gloriosa flower, for example.

Gomah is from 胡麻 - sesame, also a flower.

I don't know the answer, unfortunately. Based on the final fight being animated as we speak, I would suspect 24 to 26, however.

I wouldn't expect that. The series is in fantastic shape. Animating the final episodes before it's even hit the air is great. There's nothing to doom and gloom about here - I just wanted to correct the claim that everything is 100% complete.

The claim that all the episodes are done isn't actually true. 2nd KA for second cour content and LO for final episodes is still in progress at the moment. I suppose he means they're "ready" in the sense that by the time each episode rolls around, it'll have been done for a while. But yeah, as it ...

Re: 4K Ultra HD release for movies before DBS Super Hero?

Battle of Gods through Broly would require recompositing otherwise they'll just be upscales from a lower resolution. All their project compositions are 1080p and lower. It's a lot of work to redo all that. Khara did it for their Evangelion Rebuild movies but this is backwards ass Toei.

Black bars. Looking to experience the show and don't want ugly stuff distracting me on the sides. Never a fan of JP broadcasts that add that nonsense.

Sorry to be so late to the party, but was there ever a 1080p version? The 720p version looks pretty crusty on my TV.

Re: Should the official subtitles have translated Kami-sama

Yes, he should have used "God".

There are actual jokes across the franchise that hinge on it. Not really funny when Mr Satan is saying "That's God???" to a little green dude when he's just saying "Kami" that has no real world meaning to English speakers.

Dragon Ball Super's compositing as a whole was diabolical. Terrible colour design sure didn't help either.

Interestingly, it's looking like it might not be in that slot. Tousouchuu is currently at that time and one of the PAs was spotted on Twitter saying "One year left!", so unless it's somehow being moved, it's possible that Daima will take the Sunday night Fuji slot ...
