Re: Dragon Ball Z: The Ascended Cut (W.I.P.) [Saiyan Saga released!] (BD 4:3 Hi-10 1080p)


How do you download or view the Ascended Cut? I saw it was on the Internet Archive at one point, but that's been taken down for copyright violation... Anyone willing to help me out? I've been dying to see this thing!

Re: Dragon Ball Z: The Ascended Cut (W.I.P.) [Saiyan Saga released!] (BD 4:3 1080p)

I decided to keep the Fake Namek filler, but heavily cut down the four episodes into just one and re-framed it to feel like a 50's b-movie.

Here's the result.

Re: Dragon Ball Z: The Ascended Cut (W.I.P.) [Saiyan Saga released!] (BD 4:3 1080p)

I’ve changed the name of this project to The Ascended Cut . The word “Legacy” keeps leading people to Legacy of Goku-related shit in searches and the “30th Anniversary” moniker is outdated by now (and confusing considering the existence of those compromised Blu-rays of the same name).

I’ve also ...

Don't mean to bump this thread up, but it baffles me why the OP thinks Monica Rial and Colleen Clinkenbeard as Bulma and Gohan sounds natural as TIMESKIP voices. Like, what? They have higher pitched voices so if anything, Tiffany Volmer and Stephanie Nadolny work better for older voices.

Re: did Yamamoto's plagiarism contribute to the dbz = rock music mentality?


As far as I can tell Linkin Park weren't that well known before the Faulconer Productions score came onto the scene. I remember a lot of people talking about Linkin Park around 2006/7, but don't recall hearing about them any earlier than that. Suffice to say there was a period when a lot of music ...

Re: did Yamamoto's plagiarism contribute to the dbz = rock music mentality?

Yamamoto's career with DBZ practically started by ripping of both Propaganda's "The Murder Of Love" and "P-Machinery" for Trunks' theme.

I wish more of the JPN OST sounded like that LOL.

Re: Was the Majin Buu Saga ever shown much through reruns during the Mid-To-Late-2000’s Era of Cartoon Network?

I don't believe so (but I tapped out of Toonami's audience by then / was more into binging Naruto subbed and discovering Bebop/FMA/Evangelion and so forth).

I will say for certain (at least as I recall) that the Kid Buu saga did not re-air more than once as they had moved on to GT almost ...

Re: Selecta Visión Dragon Ball Z Blu-ray

This footage looks to not:
- Have "watercolor" smearyness
- Backgrounds (with severe loss of detail) as sharp as the foreground
- Skin shadows/shading that move around in static shots

- Look about as DNR-ed as Kai, but somehow looks to have a similar level of detail with an ...

Re: FUNimation streaming all the Dragon Boxes now

Really odd it'd be sub-only for the Dragon Box footage since I believe the US version of that release included the dub.

At this point I'd LOL if Funi swapped the Dub footage for the DBox too but cut the old Bajoran-font title cards into them.

Quick update:

I am waiting for the release of the Selectavision Blu-rays before going any further. The 30th Anniversary footage has served me well in some places, but there are episodes that are so flat and watercolory that it clashes with the more three-dimensional Kai footage in comparison. I've ...

Adult Swim aired the entirety of Kai with the Kikuchi score, so there's your answer.

Re: Shunsuke Kikuchi vs other Contemporary Japanese Composers



As far as Kohei Tanaka is concerned, I checked out One Piece's score a few years ago and was thoroughly disappointed by how generic sounding it was (I know he works with another guy on One Piece so it's not all him). I listened to quite a bit of that score and it just did nothing for me, so based ...

Wow, this is perhaps the most ambitious cut/etc that I've seen (that's gotten off the ground anyway). Very cool; I loved the samples in here.
