Re: Why is it that other anime geet pristine home/anniversary releases, yet the Dragon Ball franchise keeps getting ruin

It could also be because all HD content on Blu-ray is widescreen by definition, with uncropped 4:3 footage being represented through pillar boxing.

Re: Why is it that other anime geet pristine home/anniversary releases, yet the Dragon Ball franchise keeps getting ruin

There was no need for the garbage fake widescreen or DNR smear fest and hack slash partial redubbing (Emphasis mine) Is there any evidence that Dale Kelly did uncut recaps for 68-70? Even if he did, there's a scene in IIRC ep 68 where a line would have to be removed and two lines from after the eye...

Re: Dragonball GT DVD singles titles

Did the GT dub ever get changed in any later release? Besides getting the Japanese music over the awful dub track, did they ever replace the narrator or anything else? I don't believe there were changes other than the music to the dub itself. I could be wrong, but I heard that the remastered GT dub...

Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks

They should use Gamer for 1-67 (matching the Ultimate Uncut Edition for 1-27... and presumably for 28-67, since those are missing in their original forms), and Bajoran for 68-291 (matching the original dub broadcast).

Re: Are There Any Updates On The Harmony Gold Dub Of Dragon Ball?

Are you planning on placing the online encodes of Zero y El Dragon Magico ep 2-4 (1 and 5 weren't uploaded) and the double feature as a second audio track? More importantly, do you think you'll still be able to find them, as I think the Facebook page that originally hosted them got shut didn't?

Re: DBZ Speedy Dub episodes

They did at least six volumes, about two episodes each. Then they stopped in favor of importing Saban and Funi Z. Before vol 4 was uploaded, people thought the Speedy VCDs of the series were only Saban and Funi, to the point of an admin closing a thread over it. Some of these used to be sold on eBay...

Re: How different would the dub be if Funimation was still with Saban?

Let's say Funi never dropped Saban until at least after Z ended, and that Funi never dropped the Ocean cast until at least the same. You'd have a consistent dub from beginning to end, something that never happened in English (ignoring Kai). In addition, it's possible Pioneer might have done that unc...

Spain*. I don't think France released their Blu-rays for DB/Z/GT yet. If we're lucky we'll get a new HD or 4K master from film. In any case, France has aired the DNR'd Toei HD master of the classic films (uncensored?).

Re: Is THIS a good reason to "skip" db?

Is there a way to watch kai? Even though I can't speak German, apparently the German Kai dub has a more accurate script than the Z dub... but worse acting (along with wholesale actor replacement for at least the first half, people apparently screaming softly or away from the mic or something, etc)

Re: DBZ Creative Products/Filipino Dub "Greatest Rivals" HQ

As someone who's had an interest in rare dubs for a while, I would love to see these get a release. The last few years brought us a large amount of previously missing content (Harmony Gold dub, Filipino Z movies 10-11, watchable encodes of Filipino Z movies 5-6, clips of the test version of BLT DB M...

Re: Comparison shots from every single DBZ release

It's also worth noting that The Final Chapters ALSO had its music replaced with Sumitomo's work on BoG, RoF and Super, but similar to Kai there's not nearly enough tracks to offset it feeling repetitive. What are you talking about? I was under the impression that The Final Chapters (and the Japanes...

Re: Is it fair to say that Dragon Ball is no longer marketed to kids in North America?

the Dragon Ball anime's often gotten off lightly from the BBFC; the first 74 episodes of DBZ (up until Ginyu's defeat) are only PGs, as is DBS Broly and most of Super (which was later heavily redubbed and edited for TV). What do your mean, "heavily" redubbed? I was under the impression th...

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 22 - DB episode 96-100 (CURRENT WEEK)

Personally, I'm hoping the rewatch is based on Z. It's the better production (Japanese wise at least), and the original run of the show. Perhaps it takes a while to get through, but it doesn't have the issue of cutting too much one moment and too little the next, or those redrawn scenes. Besides, it...

Re: Unreleased "Vendar" English dub of Dead Zone (Funimation/Ocean, 1996)

This reminds me of the World of Dragon Ball Z special that Funi did. Most of it contains clips from either BLT DB, Saban DBZ, or in-house Funi DBZ... however, there's one moment (4:15-4:31 on a certain youtube upload) with what appears to be a clip of DB ep 16 where Roshi runs really fast, to Goku's...
