Re: What version did you start off with?

Dragon Ball: BLT/Ocean dub
Dragon Ball Z: Westwood/Ocean dub
Dragon Ball GT: Blue Water dub

I think I also technically saw a Blue Water episode or two of Dragon Ball before I saw the BLT/Ocean version, but I barely remember it, so my exposure to the BLT/Ocean dub was my true introduction to DB.

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

I always thought it was: T1 (Cell's timeline): The androids kill everyone, so Trunks goes to T2. When he comes back, he kills or deactivates the androids, and then is killed by Cell, who creates T4. T2 (Unseen timeline): Trunks from T1 appears, and warns everyone about the Androids. The Androids are...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Can someone clear some confusion up for me? Toei apparently have all the audio masters for GT, unlike with DB and Z. Is it the Dragon Boxes that don't use it, but all the other releases do? Or does Funi's also not have it?

Re: Is it possible to make an Dragonball movie like Space Jam??

I'd set the film during original Dragon Ball, and centre it around a Tenkaichi Budokai, but -- like Gyt Kaliba said -- with other Toriyama characters involved. The fan would spend the early portions of the movie training with Master Roshi, Goku, and Krillin. The final boss contestant would be Barry ...

Re: How to watch/read the series in English (for a child/non-fan's introduction, dyslexic fan, or personal enjoyment)

Only half of this exists dubbed Not for much longer. Funi have completed recording the dub, and strong rumours say it'll start airing in December. So, as Jinzoningen MULE said, it's coming. In any case, I agree about Kai being a great starting point, although I would say the original Dragon Ball se...

Re: SPOILER! Saved Tape!

Don't Toei still have all the audio masters for GT starting from episode 5, though? I remember the problem being that they simply didn't include that master on some of the official releases or something.

Re: Funimation Buu release guess?

I've been thinking about tracking down the Buu Dragon Boxes and seeing if I can use them and Buu Kai blu-rays (whenever we get them) to create an personal ideal version; Dragon Box footage, Buu Kai dub. I have no idea if I'll ever find the time though. I'll almost certainly try my hand at doing thi...

Re: Best Way to Get Into Dragon Ball Super -- Manga or Anime?

All of it. Huh. So I guess the anime is probably more convenient; since it's streaming for free on Crunchyroll and Daisuki, you can just binge all of it in a weekend(Once episodes 11-46 are up), whereas with the manga, it's missing an arc, and Viz's online translation is behind by a few months(IIRC...

Re: Funimation Buu release guess?

We can be fairly sure that it doesn't exist. No release in any country has been 4:3 so far. Ugh. Well, at least Buu Kai looks less over-contrasted than Funi's Blu-Rays, so some colour correcting to tone down the greens should make it look a litter better than Funi's. And hey, the higher bitrate of ...

Re: Funimation Buu release guess?

From still images alone, I like the Funi Blu-ray look better. But how do they look in motion? Because the Funi Blu-rays used heavy DNR and some of that grain kind of leaked through on the borders of clouds. Does The Final Chapters have this problem? This is also something I'd like to see. Plus, we ...

Re: Should modern Dragon Ball bring back more old concepts like Mafuba?

My first thought is Afterimage/Zanzōken, although perhaps this isn't as useful now as it was back in OG Dragon Ball. Lightning Surprise Attack/Bankoku Bikkuri Shō could be a good one to bring back if Master Roshi starts fighting people again, although unless we get another Resurrection F-type situat...

Re: Dragon Ball GT or Dragon Ball Super? Which one is the best?

I'm not really sure. Unlike most people, I actually really like GT, but with how inconsistent both series are... Eh, I'll have to mull it over. Maybe see how this current arc ends.

Re: Preview episodes DB, what release?

Well, if you get the Japanese Dragon Box and the Blue Bricks, you can use Dragon Radar to combine the subtitles from the Blue Bricks with the Japanese Dragon Box video. The previews wouldn't have subs(At least... Not all of the episodes IIRC), but you'd have the previews there to see.

Yeah, but it took a while. If Ocean wanted to dub Super, and it took anywhere near as long to get it off the ground, they'd have to dub quite fast to catch up with Funi.

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" dub seems to be coming...

I think an Ocean dub of Super would be very interesting. Although, given how long it's taken Funimation to even start recording their dub, I doubt Ocean would be able to get their own dub of it out any time soon.

Re: Funimation Buu release guess?

I still think that, while the TV airings will almost certainly be 16:9, the Blu-Rays will be 4:3, like the rest of Kai.

Although, I think by "Visual quality", ekrolo2 meant the colour correction, replaced frames, and the general remastering process, which I hear has received some criticism.

Re: Is Dragon Ball Z Kai any good?

Kai is more palatable to a modern audience due to the faster pace, better audio quality in the Japanese version, better English dub, better home release(The out of print Part sets aside, there's one DVD release, and one Blu-Ray release), and being a better introduction to the series than Z was(Rathe...
