Germany gets DBZ HD Blu-ray releases from Crunchyroll

Post by jjbgood » Mon Aug 07, 2023 11:07 am

Crunchyroll announced at a convention and then on Twitter that they will be releasing Dragon Ball Z HD releases on Blu-ray in Germany starting this winter. By then they will probably be done with the OG Dragon Ball releases, where they used the Selecta-Vision version, so we can probably assume that the DBZ version in Germany will also be the same as from Selecta-Vision and not a new remaster. But if DBZ gets the same treatment as DB, then it will also be uncut in Germany for the first time (the cut scenes then in Japanese with German subtitles).

Strange Crunchyroll would be doing this when they literally just re-released Funimation's old 2013/14 HD remaster. Why would fans buy that knowing they can wait around for (yet) another remaster that will be in 4:3? Or is it a case where the US and German branches of Crunchyroll aren't communicating?

Still nice for German fans to finally have a fully uncut release.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:
