If that actually was the case, couldn't they have asked Toei to send them remastered footage? The same way they remastered the Bardock special a few months ago? Maybe. Maybe Toei wouldn't let them, or it was cheaper for Funi to use their own internal master of the show than to additionally pay Toei...

Here is a shot of the film master, the level set (red) and the 30th set (green). Now I think this confirms this is a new master and not the level (which seems kind of odd as it would of gave them a jump start on a bunch of episodes) but why not at least try to get the same or more out of the frame ...

Will there be any funi reps at KamehaCon besides actors? I can try mentioning it to Sabat but I doubt there is much he can do. I mean, Sabat has SOME pull with the home releases, especially since he's the defacto primary dub director & producer, & MAYBE he can do something, but it ultimatel...

Honestly, I still don't think the new footage looks much better, or really any different, than the 2014 BDs. I feel like they're doing their best to convince us it's better by comparing it to the worst possible releases they can. Is it really necessary to compare it to the orange bricks? Of course ...

Well, THIS is a pleasant surprise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZrP640wHXg&feature=em-uploademail Clearly, they sourced some of the level footage & probably some other footage, but at least it's BETETR than the original trailer & actually instills confidence. Still looks like shit b...

The image still looks flat. This certainly does't compare to the Level Sets. Really? Thats a bummer, is the image still zoomed or is it proper 4:3? I mean, it still looks like it COULD be zoomed-in & there's not a lot of grain, if any, but at least it's a step in the right direction. Hopefully ...

Does this new footage actually look any better than in the first video, or is my brain just tricking me into thinking it does because I want it to? It looks legitimately better. Glad to see they're taking the criticism well & they recut the trailer to have it better than it was. Obviously, they...

Funimation only has the rights to alter things that they own, that is anything that was made from their own film masters, not the dragon box. The dragon box was made by Toei. If a singer in the US really like a Japanese song and want to bring it to the US market, he has to buy the rights to covers ...

Well, THIS is a pleasant surprise.

Clearly, they sourced some of the level footage & probably some other footage, but at least it's BETETR than the original trailer & actually instills confidence.

Visuals: - Color corrected Dragon Box (could be upscaled to HD but I don't care either way) Audio (3 Versions/Options): - Japanese broadcast audio (obviously with subtitles) - English dub audio with Kikuchi OST - English dub audio with American OST (Johnson/Faulconer) Is it possible for Funi to do ...

Wow i just went and browsed through my level sets this was a spectacular release even with the crushed blacks. There is literally no reason why they couldn't afford to finish this and make this the footage for the 30th anniversary set. This was 7 years ago to do the same thing with todays technolog...

Everyone does not have the DBZ Boxes. I am an old fan of the series (I even own some of the old DVD singles and a couple VHS) but unfortunately for me I left the fandom for awhile and moved on and wasn't really paying attention when the DBZ Boxes were released. It was Super that got me back into th...

So I'm kind of way overdue on this due to how fast the posts are piling up in this thread, but I would just like to point out to anyone who is comparing the framing here to the Dragon Boxes that... the Dragon Boxes were given a shot-for-shot reframing based off the original negatives. That framing ...

Now that you know the new boxset is a double cropped of the blu-ray set are you just going to continue using the dragon boxes for this project? It's NOT a double crop. People keep confusing this. It's the video from the season sets before the cropping (they had copies of the episodes this way becau...

Even topics that aren't blatant pipe dreams seem hopeless at times though. Funi could have included the Pioneer Ocean dub of DBZ Movies 1-3 on both the Ultimate Uncut singles and the Double Feature sets, but they didn't. That I can actually see, since they produced that dub with Pioneer & Ocean...

I honestly believe the trailer was more meant emphasize 4:3 the package design, the limited reservation period and the fact that it’s the entire series in one set then the video footage. Yes they could and should of not had anything about the film footage but then everyone would be bitching and com...

Probably some film company in Japan Toei contracted.

When it comes to the TFS cameo, they have a right to not allow anyone in the dub as they see fit. They HATE TFS, so it makes sense. Granted, they weren't against them in their dub of One Piece or Res F, but it wasn't as obvious. TFS is in the Res F dub? Huh. TIL. Where exactly in the film are they?...

Just wanted to say, I truly believe this is more so the doing of Toei Animation than FUNimation. FUNi had no issues releasing older properties like Yu Yu Hakusho and Cowboy Bebop on Blu-ray in great quality. Then there's Toei, responsible for blocking One Piece episodes on Blu-ray because it's not ...
