Yeah, did anybody else notice Kyle Hebert's tone when talking about those dvds in Kirbopher's interview..?

How was his tone? (for those of us who haven't heard the interview).

I'm glad that FUNimation is admitting that fans are unhappy with the widescreen choice. I truly hope this set gets delayed and released in its proper fullscreen format.

Although, one question that arises is: Were the episodes remastered in WS? If so, are all of FUNi's masters stuck that way? It seems FUNi was really enthusiastic about this release, so they may be really far along in the remastering process... (for example "We Gotta Power" scenes in the trailer.)

I really don't know if they have gotten far in the remastering, considering 'We Gotta Power' was the only post-Saiyan Saga footage in the trailer. But it's possible.

What'd you think there gonna do for an opening theme? It woulndt be right to use the UUC opening. Maybe the'll just use the raw Japanese "Cha La Head Cha La"?

Or maybe dub "Cha-La", like they did for "Makafushigi Adventure!"

I must agree... He just stated the facts. Kyle Hebert is really involved with the fan community.

Did you guys see this on the Funimation Forums, posted by the administrator?
Ultimate Uncut Edition Episode 20

Season One Episode 20

Kendamu · Post by **Kendamu** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 7:55 pm

Yeah. We've all seen those.

Personally, at this very moment I'm leaning toward "I'll get the DVDs if I have the extra money to do so" but I'm not totally set to go out and get them without question.

Thy ned to come out with that FAQ with further comparisons and explinations before I decide on a complete "yes" or "no".

I don't mind the whole widescreen thing, as long as it's like the comparison above. I just hope the colors are similar to what the DragonBox offers.

I can't remember where it was posted, but someone has posted the equivalent DragonBox screen shot. And I remember the colors still being slightly off (the color of the sky comes to mind, and the color of Gohan's inner shirt wasn't black, but more of a blue if I remember correctly) Atlhough the skin tone seemed to be correct. I think the real test will be when we see Piccolo's skin tone.

Funny they should give us a screen from Ep 20 though. I just realized the ending to that episode is one of these:

And cropped & widescreened:

But the thing is, they won't crop that much. They will crop a small amount off of the top and bottom, and show more on the sides. There will still be cropping, but not to that extent.

They'll be adding to the sides which means there won't be that much cropping from the top and bottom.

If they were to crop just a tiny bit that would be alright. But look, you can't even see Hokey Pokeys fire!

Deus ex Machina · Post by **Deus ex Machina** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 11:57 pm

Yes, they will be adding more to the left and right sides of the picture, but the question is how much will they be adding? It will have to be a significant amount to minimize the cropping on the top and the bottom, and my gut tells me it won't be.

I would certainly love to be proven wrong, I have a widescreen television that I would watch it on in a heart beat. But experience tells me that Funimation isn't so much addressing concerns as they are spinning proganda and damage control.

Kendamu · Post by **Kendamu** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 12:46 am

Well, of course they are. But that's because the general fan message is "OMGWTFBBQ 4:3 OR GO TO HELL, FUNI GRAW GRAH BWALH!!!" or somthing similar. No matter how much spin there is we'll all be able to look past it and see the truth, anyway.

Cropping from top and bottom is definately going to occur unless they stretch the image a little. I stretched the Doomrider AMV to 16:9 in moviemaker and it still came out awesome for the most part. There were a couple of instances where a closeup of the front of a character's face seemed a bit too wide, but whatever.

I also went and looked at a couple DBZ AMVs that were either stretched to 16:9, cropped to 16:9, or stretched and cropped (maybe even zoomed a little) and they turned out pretty damn good for the most part. So, if FUNi were to add to the sides to reduce the amount of stretching, then do a very tiny amount of stretching after that to minimize cropping, it might turn out pretty well still.

Of course, this is coming from a guy who has yet to decide on a definitive "yes" or "no". So don't take my word for it until they come out with that damn FAQ.

So then that means this picture would be pretty ok in widescreen if FUNimation is adding more footage to the sides, right?

By the way, I'm new to the boards and been reading this thread for a while now. So, am I suppose to introduce myself?

dragondyle, you can see a comparison shot of that picture on this very page, just look near the top. And welcome to the boards

It's not necessary to introduce yourself, but if you want to we have a seperate section of the forums just for that.
