Thread is on the first page of the Region 1 forum.Major...major video download to check out Monday on DragonballZ.com will explain all this and the press release.
Not to put too much out there right now cause the video explains it SO much better...but how about 3 words to get you more curious for one more day...
Remastered
Box
Sets

So yes. You win, because I had to friggin' stretch out what you put in a couple neat little blurbs into a whole big unnecessary thing.Li'l Lemmy was about to have wrote:
(An unnecessarily long, article-esque post explaining this exact same announcement that ended up taking so long to compose that Blitzen beat me to it with his simple, simple words.)
Ah, but wait! Do you think it's Dragon Box footage, or in-house remastering? Where's your opinion?Blitzen wrote:So that's done and sealed .

Whatever it is, the fact of the matter is that this is a good sign (on top of solicitations, rumours, hints, whatever else) that DBZ is finally getting a compotent release (none of this 3 eps per disc, released out of sync crap). Whether they 'remaster' it like they did with the old discs (which I prefer they didn't) or whether they use the Spanish release masters or Dragonbox masters is of little consequence to me ultimatly, but certian things would be prefered.Li'l Lemmy wrote: Ah, but wait!

I've been looking forward to hearing what they're doing for awhile now...hopefully the sets will have a good chunk of episodes at a decent price like the earlier version suggested.It's whats more commonly reffered to as a digipack, and I'd seriously hope they don't use it. It's okay on 2-disc sets and what not, but anything over that and well, theres chances of the glue coming undone or them getting damaged, and unlike ordinary cases, you can't actually replace the packaging if that happens because well, they're not easy things to get, make, or replace.DaemonCorps wrote: And yeah, I'm also hoping for "Fold-out-book" format.
Okay, here's the thing- Where does it say that Spain got the Dragonbox footage? Where does it say they manipulated the colours? From what I've seen of FUNimations 'colour alteration' abilities re: Dragon Ball, it'd be pointless spending all of this money on what seems to be very expensive, professionally produced and laboured masters, and then putting cheap, shitty colour and sharpening filters on. Sure, as we've seen before FUNimation wants to make it look more 'modern', but for cryin' out loud, the show is ATLEAST 10 years old now to the more uneducated market, they don't need to reinvent the wheel anymore.If Funimation gets these masters and then fucks around with the colours a little like in Spain then I'll be happy. And I'd say if they did get these masters that's highly likely anyway.
Yes. Seldom, if ever (infact, never, to be honest) has remastered video come without it's respective audio track for Anime.If these sets do indeed have the DragonBox footage, does that mean we would also get the original japanese audio from the DragonBox sets as well?
The problem with having both 2.0 and 5.1 tracks is that companies, as far as I know (from knowing people who work, not nessecerally in FUNimation, but in other places), when making something that'd appeal to a wider range of people (DBZ, rather than say, Samurai 7) is that they get scared if it only says 5.1. See, people don't set their shitty DVD players up properly so the sound doesn't work, which means they'd get complaints. But more commonly, people assume that since it's 5.1, and they only have two speakers, it won't work on their TV so they chicken out. It's sort of the logic used when two seperate DVDs of movie are released in widescreen and fullscreen (assuming we're talking about current or older Hollywood movies which are shot at 2.35:1 or what not). Someone like that would get the Fullscreen version, because they wouldn't want one "with black bars coverin' the video like dem kerry voters".There should be plenty of room if they drop the 5.1 English audio track or if the deem it necessary to have the 5.1 English audio track then there would be no need for a 2.0 English and replace with the Spanish 2.0 audio. Either way, this is what I hope for, the dragon box remasters and the Mexican dub. I have my set preordered since it was first "announced" so yeah.
Yeah, highly unlikely since just about all of the anime companies have said that they're not doing anything with either "next-gen" format anytime soon...b_boult wrote:Has anyone considered the possibility of HD-DVD/Blu Ray releases? INCREDIBLY unlikely but nonetheless possible lmao.
The original score was terrible and you can try and be as japanese as you want but this fact will always remain, even Faulconer was immeasurably better.Sun_Wukong wrote:I doubt it, remember, this is Funi, the same cheap bastards who got Faulconer instead of the original BGM.majinboogc wrote:Hopefully it will be the Dragon Box remasters.
