He probably could have done nothing, Toei now check EVERYTHING in any release and are very strict about what is been used, they can't use any visual that are not from Toei, nothing that came from Toei can't be used that's why AB group couldn't even use amazon web dll to replaced censored frames in z HD moviesRobo4900 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 12:38 pm To be honest, the whole broadcast audio saga was so tiring, and so full of petty drama, badmouthing, etc. I'm just so tired of it, even now, months after it was kind of "Over". I guess I wanted to believe there was a silver lining that Sabat, if he had the motivation to get it done, could get it on a release.
I guess it was all just a pipe dream, in the end. And as of right now, I'm not sure I care anymore. Maybe it could get on an official release, maybe it couldn't. Sabat said he'd try his best, maybe even if he had, it wouldn't matter. He lost his enthusiasm anyway, and no one else seems to care, so...
i read somewhere here someone that said that AB and Toei was in nice relationship it's perfectly wrong , Toei have been in the past in conflict with AB that's why AB loose all dbrights in 2011 (ab released dbkai 1-98 on dvd before kaze got the rights and some movies after just because they loose rights), some companies used visual for covers that was "homemade" or used some illustrations without any rights or paying for theirs used, some illegal released was even made (ufo robo grendizer was released in france by a company called declic image on 3 dvd box without Toei's approval) that kind of things explain why now they control EVERYTHING
Funi can use their own filmprint cause they got it from Toei, that's why AB could remaster movies 7-11 and partially 12-13) but nothing coming outside
if you didn't claim being involve and spread lies, you'll have spared you pain...Robo4900 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 12:38 pm The possibility of a future official release from AB, SV, Funi, or Toei having broadcast audio is zilch, I guess... To be honest, if I could, I'd forget the broadcast audio saga ever happened. Just a huge mess of personal drama with no real constructive results.
Sorry to be a downer.
Still, hopefuly AB's Blu-ray at least has decent video.
Either way, at the end of the day, it's just a dumb Japanese cartoon from the '80s/'90s. If it doesn't have optimal audio and video, that's no great loss, I guess. Let's just hope better home video is on the horizon, I guess.
AB don't have filmprint for the whole show, kaze germany "remastered" dvd use AB censored material and it's not even filmprint so thinking that they'll use 16mm film is just a dream cause back in time it was current that, as much M&E tracks and filmprint were allways returned by companies to Toei that's why they couldn't uncensored the show or reddubed missing lines, it would have required asking m&e track again (so paid for that) and ask 16mm films what i seriously don't think that it will happened , only movie 12 and 13 m&e track have never been returned by AB to Toei) AB (aka mediawan now) are not really "rich" , they loose most of their old catalog rights, their manga channel only have at least 10-15 show that allways rerun constantly so thinking that they'll remaster them is a dream
moero top striker is a french coproduction, that's why filmprint are allways in france (and it's only 49ep) but not DB ones
about db broadcast audios, thinking that Toei allways own dbgt cinetape audios, what make people thinking that they don't have cinetape audios from others show or other db series but lies somewhere and they just don't bother to used them?
i mean there is no official document that say about them being lost (or i didn't see it personnaly) when i asked AB guy he didn't trusted me that Toei as Producer didn't have every cinetape about their show (he can be wrong but i mean that i never found any official document saying that Toei throw them, all i have seen is kei saying that he read it heard it
