Re: Rank these screenshots in terms of picture quality

Big Green DVD's were definitely not that bad quality.

Here's a screenshot taken from my DVD.

For whatever reason West Kaio is drawn with a halo in Episode 278.

Re: What counts as "lost" content in the franchise?

Do dubs count? Because if so...

The Philippines dub of Dragon Ball + first 30 episodes of Z, this has never been released at all and I have not seen ANY recordings of it at all, all I know is that it exists, it's probably(?) still stored somewhere, but will likely never be seen again.

Re: Would Z have been as successful on US TV if JPN BGM was

To be completely honest, this scene is so sh**** with it's original score https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM9SlgWRqgo As compared to the American Score, holy crap, what a difference in tone, you can feel the epicness of the scene and the impact it leaves simply because of the BGM https://www.youtub...

Re: Dragon Box vs Original Broadcast - The Audio

Out of curiosity, how much audio difference is there between the original master audio from the BigBox CD's (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmqXzsMd-qM) and the tapes that Kei has got now?

Just thought I'd say, that Malaysian English Freeza is just a what-if/impression(?).

Here's what Freeza actually sounded like (from movie 12): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgGLgZ5 ... e=youtu.be

Re: Where would you have ended the series?

I'd end it at the party after Majin Boo's defeat, it felt more like an ending while Oob feels so forced and is a pretty boring ending (at least to me), the 28th Budokai is my least favourite section of cannon episodes in Z.

Re: Big Green Dub

I remember Toonami UK airing a DBZ movie marathon, it was the first time the DBZ films were airing here and I was pretty psyched. I turn on the TV and set up my VHS recorder only to hear the Big Green Dub. Now I happened to already have a VCD of one of the movies which was the Speedy Dub, so I just...

Re: Your Perfect DBZ Release

My perfect DBZ release would be:

Level Sets Video Quality (No crushed blacks though)
Japanese Broadcast Audio
Japanese titlecards

I don't really care that much about NEPs, they're cool but I usually avoid watching them when watching the series.

Oh you're not alone there, I love Nozawa's Goku to death but sometimes those screams can just be a little too much.

I think it's worse in Kai than it was in Z.

I'm guessing 508 episodes are Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and GT all together? I never noticed how lengthy the series actually is since the 3 series are split up. :shock:

Re: Voiceless Audio Track on Chinese VCDs

This would be incredibly helpful for me and my friends, we often out of boredom, make DBZ bad dubs (2-3 of us dub an entire movie/special with awful acting) the 5.1 audio works for most of it but sometimes you can still hear the voices through an "echo" effect, like so: https://www.youtube...

Re: Manga UK Announce DBZ Battle of Gods DVD/Bluray release

This release has been one disappointment after another. Japanese 2.0 only? Shitty menu? Awful theatre run? No thanks. The FUNi bluray is region B too? Seems like I'll be importing that.

Goku doesn't sound too bad, but Vegeta is so awful it's laughable, nah FUNimation all the way. I also went and watched some other clips and noticed that Freeza actually had a male voice!

Re: Manga UK Announce DBZ Battle of Gods DVD/Bluray release

They did say "limited" so you know that could've applied to being very few and happens to be the case, besides, importing when you've got a UK release seems pointless but it's your money anyway. Importing has almost always been cheaper. By limited I was expecting 10 at the least, not 2! I...

Re: Manga UK Announce DBZ Battle of Gods DVD/Bluray release

If this is true, then I'm done with Manga UK. I'd rather import from other countries than deal with such a shitty company. Because they're not expanding the film to more theatres that means they're a shitty company and you'd rather import it? Uh.. It's shitty of them to promise a limited theatrical...
