Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Not worth creating a whole thread probably, but does anyone know the voice actor for Shenron in Japanese for Kai in Episode 97? The US Blu Ray doesn't credit him. The Dragon Ball Wiki (which I know not to trust on things without a source) says it's Ryūzaburō Ōtomo, so can anyone confirm or deny this?

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

Is there any difference between the 2010 "single DVD" release of Curse of the Blood Rubies and the Four Pack release in terms of video quality? I just learned that there was single DVD varient. According to Kanzenhu, the releases were less than two months apart. https://www.kanzenshuu.com/...

Re: The best way to watch Buu Saga with Super Buu deep voice?

The only release with the deep voice is the original DVD and VHS singles. Starting with the OB's, on both audio tracks, they broke voice effects, such as Frieza''s third form, Android 19, and Super Buu. They never bothered to fix this in any future releases.

Re: All-purpose Dragon Ball sale/trade thread.

Anyone have any VHS recording of DBZ in English? There are a few "lost" NEPs that are not available on any official VHS/DVD release. I do have at least one, it's a fairly late broadcast from Cartoon Netowork (October 6th, 2006), I'm 99% the episode is "The Secret of Dr. Gero", I...

Re: your definition of the "definitive" DBZ home release

Level Sets (1080p transfer, little DNR) but with better color correction and no crushed blacks, Japanese title cards in place of the plain looking English ones (or at least use the same font as the OG dub/OB's), the dub with Kikuchi's score and the dub score, along with Japanese audio of course, wit...

Re: Dragon Ball references in other media

Oh, how could I forget one of the most obvious Dragon Ball references from my youth? Channel Chasers was a Fairly OddParents TV movie that had a whole bunch of cartoon and even a handful of anime homages. The climax was for a show in the universe called Mahou Mushi or something, it was a mix of Drag...

Re: Dragon Ball references in other media

I wonder what is the first pop culturce reference to DB in the United States? I hear a crappy game called Kasumi Ninja on the Jaguar has 'Son Goku' somewhere in the game (either the credits or high score screen); the game is from 1994. There was a thread on this a while ago if you search for it. In...

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

I'm so glad you understand and shared an excellent example. People don't realize the cels can be: 1. Aged at least a decade, with the wedding cel being a good example of how aging changes the color 2. Scanned poorly in who knows what light conditions on who knows what device 3.

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

No, he's right, the cels aren't how the show is intended to look, they are made in such a way knowing that they will be transferred to film where the colors will end up looking different. You can see this in pretty much any animation cel, not just Dragon Ball. The cels are good as a reference, to s...

Re: Why did the remastered Funimation dub of Z backtrack on decisions made for the original dub?

They also had Kyle Hebert redub narration that no longer made any sense "Stay tune for scenes from the next episode of Dragon Ball Z!!!" what are you talking about Kyle?!?! which reeks of being rushed to get these remastered sets out by a deadline. Since the UUE DVD's were canned and the ...

Re: Best way to watch R4 Saga of Goku on CRT tv in the US?

I'd suggest just buying the first season of the Blue Bricks in place of the first or even second Sagas. The R4 DVD's use frame blending, which makes it look like bad motion blur or something. I've never seen frame blending on animation, just live action, so maybe it's not as bad in that context, but...

Re: Why did the remastered Funimation dub of Z backtrack on decisions made for the original dub?

Supposedly, that dude who voiced the main character in Full Metal Alchemist was the voice of Burter for the Cartoon Network broadcast of the UUE dub but he was redubbed by Chris Sabat for consistency with the Tenkaichi Budokai games. That's pretty crazy. Since the UUE DVD's were canned and the orig...

Re: Dragon Ball references in other media

The movie Boyhood was filmed over the course of 12 years to tell the story, and there's a lot of references to popular things of the day (like Halo 2, and a couple years later, Wii Sports). Early in the movie the main character, a kid, is actually really into Dragon Ball Z, watching an episode of on...

Re: Why did the remastered Funimation dub of Z backtrack on decisions made for the original dub?

The weirdest change to me is episode 30. For the longest time, I thought the first 67 episodes weren't redubbed at all for the OB's, since the UUE dub was fairly recent. I have no idea how much of it was, but there is one change I know of. In episode 30, if you select "Broadcast Audio" (Jo...

Re: Where can i find dragon ball z with original colors?

Not really the place to be asking for torrents.

But to answer your question about the original colors, and you're sure it wasn't Kai, I imagine it was either a color corrected Dragon Box or the DVD singles.
