I don't think Dragon ball particularly suits SD-BD. Every mainline entry in the franchise exists on either film or HD, and even some of the material that only theoretically exists in HD (i.e. the first anime) has been released upscaled. SD-BD isn't something to strive for if a decent upscale is on ...

(Yeah, I know 3DTVs are dead, but this is such an odd duck that I hope you'll find it interesting even if you never liked 3D in the first place.)

Resurrection 'F' was released in 2015, firmly within the "release every blockbuster and animated movie in 3D" era of cinema, and as such it's no ...

Assuming that Daima was animated in 1080p, a UHD Blu-ray seems a bit overkill without an HDR grade. I understand that it will be technically better, but I wonder how noticeable the difference will actually be under normal circumstances.

A new movie is being released on the lowest quality video format of all time.


I don't know about the worst when that GBA Video of Dragon Ball GT exists.

I don't find a VHS clamshell much more aesthetically pleasing than a Blu-ray case, and in any case Dragon Ball is badly suited to the format ...

To me, the odd thing about bringing back Nadolny is that they're moving further away from the Japanese version again. In previous cases where re-casts were undone, the two voices sounded pretty consistent anyway. For example, Bryan Massey's Oolong was clearly based on Brad Jackson, and neither sound ...

I think it's safe to assume that any Funimation-branded releases have been taken out of print and will re-issued with Crunchyroll branding as necessary.

Probably the same reason the UK Super Hero Collector's Edition Blu-Ray has the German FSK logo on the digipack or lots of Manga UK discs have US and Australian trailers for titles that were released ages ago.


If they'd literally used the UK sleeve, I would understand. But they haven't, and ...

Why does the spine have the BBFC PG logo? I know that's on the UK version, but it's very odd for that to appear on a non-British release.

Toriko isn't on Amazon or Netflix now, and it wasn't on Amazon when I first saw One Piece 492/542. The lack of the corresponding Toriko episodes doesn't seem to be a factor at all, just as it wasn't for Adult Swim. Even the initial Japanese DVDs didn't bundle Toriko 1 and One Piece 492 on the same ...

One Piece 492 and 542 also feature Toriko, but weren't affected. Ditto for the DVDs. Even Crunchyroll's had the first two crossovers, in full with both the Torkio and One Piece sections in their respective series pages, for years.

I think it got a standalone DVD in Japan

I'm not sure that it did. I can't find any mention of it on Avex's One Piece website nor One-Piece.com, even though the previous two Toriko x One Piece specials are listed as having DVD releases within the same time-frame as regular episodes.
I think there ...

Viz also reprinted Cross Epoch as a bonus with One Piece: Box Set 3. So it's technically still available, if you're willing to also buy 24 volumes of One Piece.

The Fairly OddParents (2001)
The episode(s) Channel Chasers includes a scene where the characters are trapped in the TV programme Maho Mushi, which very superficially parodies Dragon Ball.

Early in the film, Justin Chatwin's character has some Dragon Ball toys in his ...

What do you want to create? A video file, a new DVD you've designed from scratch, or a modified version of the original DVD? They're all doable, but the first option has much less of a learning curve than the other two.

These are clearly the same video masters from ~2009, with the Japanese audio keeping the original title card but leaving the credits textless. They even open with the 2011-era Funimation logo, which is a bit ironic given this week's news.
Episodes 1-25 are free with ads.

there's no 4% PAL speedup on them, even though most of my other DVDs have it.


Because they'll have been converted to PAL by blending and/or skipping frames, as if they were native 60Hz NTSC video. So the speed remains unchanged, but you get motion issues as a compromise.

Nowadays, Au and UK ...

Does anybody have a way I can watch the dragon ball movies in a 4,3 Pal pitch? Because I want to remaster the big green dubs of OG movies 1-3 in better quality.


What software are you using to remaster the movies? Some editors will let you change the playback speed of your footage to match ...

I can't even remember if 4K's are region free.


All UHD Blu-rays should be region free, it's an intentional feature of the format. The box advertises Region A+B as well, so apparently importing will be a viable option for a lot of people if there's no local release.

(Apparently there's a ...

There's also an Amazon-exclusive steelbook, using what seems to be a flipped version of the previous steelbook's artwork.

So, Crunchyroll has NO REASON to not dub those, especially since they're strapped for DB content and were desperate enough to dig this up when no one cared for it as much as the specials.


I'm not sure if Crunchyroll did dig this up out of the blue. I think it's possible that Tooanmi acquired ...
