Re: Curse of the blood rubbie rare dub

I am the top bidder right now, I have a professional digitization set up, and plan to preserve the video and the tapes hi-fi audio. I also have plans to do a restoration using the hd footage and this audio if I win the tape. I dont want to say too much and break the rules but yes these would be 'rel...

Re: The "Team Four Star" actors were blacklisted by Funi and Toei rumor

I mean we ARE talking about someone who's essentially just stealing Toei's show and dubbing it for profit, giving Toei neither compensation nor a say in the matter. They didn't profit off DBZA, at least as far as I know. I guess they did indirectly by becoming popular thanks to it. They had merch w...

Re: Where did the "Kuh-May-Uh-May-Uh" pronunciation come from?

In the BLT dub they used the it in episode 8. it aint "perfect" but using the English pronunciation of the guys name instead of a different one really isnt on the same level as say makansapo vs special beam canon to me.

It lasted 11 years my dude, thats very long enough. It doesnt need to be a drawn out slogfest turned borderline obsessive religion like one piece has become and that some of supers fans misguidedly want it to be

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

Robo has come up with the theory that the reason why Zedaki knows about the Dragon Balls already in Episode 5 is so that they can skip over Episode 6 entirely, which is so full of problematic stuff that it'd be impossible to edit everything out and keep a decent runtime AND keep the story coherent....

Re: If Goku didn't marry ChiChi, which woman would you pair him with?

Bulma, her and suno were the only other women he really had any interaction with that wouldnt be inappropriate in age. And of the two, he had a lot more character development with bulma.

Re: New Blu Ray sets? Let's compare!

I'm not settling for a smeared, over-sharpened, over-saturated mess of a release that added fake grain and left things uncropped in an attempt to mask their nonsense and appease "hardcore" fans. "Good enough" can fuck off. I don't think it's a matter of fans being OK with them a...

Re: New Blu Ray sets? Let's compare!

Personally I wont be buying, since I already have the dragon box. but if you dont have that this is the cheaper way to do it and still have 4:3. not perfect, but ya know if it makes you happy and works well enough thats all that matters.

Re: Funimation's 30th anniversary collectible home video release

After watching some kai, I think the big take away for me is the not FUNi's DNR but the fact they don't habe ''decent'' masters. Even namek suffers from crush in the namek ark. Earth colors (green and browns seem to have deep contrast to them). What I'm really wondering is why Funimation hasn't inv...

Re: is there any reason to get the season blu ray sets anymore?

I really dont think so. the steel books(and i assume their eventual plasticbook counter parts) may not be perfect but they're very much better than the season sets. if you *need* 16:9 for whatever weird reason you can zoom in yourself. otherwise just enjoy the full image the way the show was animate...

Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks

can these b considered Funimation's attempt at HD Dragon boxes? i wanna say so because these are really good No, not even close. these look a good bit worse than the dragon boxes. Yeah they are in an hd format, but funi destroyed the video so much that they have less detail than 480p dvds from 2003.

Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks

Back in January, MangaUK came to me and said Funi were putting out their 30th sets in seasonal packaging for the mass market. They wanted to know if they should do that too or go with the old 16:9 release. I told them 4:3, obviously. Did they mention if this is going to be a limited release? Or are...

youtube comments may be the lowest form of interaction on earth, but it is a solid answer to the topic's question. a lot of us have our gears grinded by tfs fans flooding comments to the point where a discussion cant happen, or going to cons and trying to force talk about tfs into every dbz panel, e...

Re: Things that grind your gears

I love DBZA, I really do think it's legitimately funny, but I HATE how every clip of this show seemingly on YouTube has comments just filled with TFS quotes. I would love to hear some more original humor, or better yet people discussing the scene. It's almost as annoying as, "Goku bad dad, Pic...

Re: Dragon Ball Z 4:3 Steelbooks

Did they fix the zoom in issue in that episode ? they did not. these are just the 30th a masters, but with a lower bitrate. Interesting is there any noticeable difference?
