Kanzenshuu

Neo-Raws is a bit too dark tinted. Everything looks like it's happening at 6 or 7pm. It feels like the gamma could use some adjusting and for some reason, Raditz's armour has the exact same shade as Goku's gi, which me think there might be a few more oversights as well. Episode 95 (especially ...

there are people restoring the DBZ audio as we speak...


What do you mean? The broadcast audio clean-up has been done for years. In fact its 7th iteration is attached to SOM's recent color corrected version of the series.


...But as far as I know, no home release for Z actually sounds better ...

Ok, so that Color Correction + NR upscale has to be the best the series is ever going to look, right? I'm almost tempted to sync up the Buu saga to this footage.
As stated earlier in the thread, I am in the midst of upscaling this release to mostly great results.

Very close to the level of ...

It's a "fact" but not the whole story. It was shot on film but framed and intended to air in SD because that's what was available at the time. So, again I aski, what's gained?


Of course the show aired in standard definition, yes, but viewers only saw a fraction of the artwork, animation detail ...

How much better can these actually look than SD? What is being gained by putting a mid-90s show on BD?


Anything traditionally animated on cels and then captured/mastered onto film (yes, even 16mm) is high definition by default.

This release will sadly be another upscale, but a true remaster ...

I'm sorry but x265 encodes are hardly butchering, this is just a misrepresentation. At the end of the day, if you're the one providing the product maybe you ought to consider that not everyone has a terabyte of space lying around.

The entitlement coupled with the complete lack of gratitude you’ve ...

Can’t overstate my excitement for this release. Have been following the project (probably too closely) since almost the beginning. After all this time, it’s hard to believe the fabled Z color corrected MERGE is finally here.

Thank you so much to Ikaos and the entire SoM team. You all have my ...

The existing releases already sell just fine. It's almost certainly not worth the investment for them.

Well that is certainly an opinion that you have written on this forum.

You can't see why Toei wouldn't want to do it? My man. Remastering tv shows from film isn't free. Toei would rather keep the money instead of spending it on remastering. It's not exactly a hard concept to grasp.
I like to keep my money too, rather then spend it on unnecessary things.


My man ...

Thing is, I'm not a videophile. I don't need to have the absolute best picture possible. As long as it looks decent I'm fine. The Dragon Boxes still look decent to me so I don't need another release (plus I hate double dipping).




Same, i just wanted to have the best available 4:3 ...

And while the Dragon Boxes aren't 4K and super clean when stretched out across a 75" TV, it still looks great for what it is. I don't mind the colors because they might not be accurate, but they do help remind me that the show is old and there's a certain charm to that. It's a lot better than an ...

Oh goodness, I hate for my very first post here to be on such a divisive topic. However, as a longtime owner of the Funi Dragon Boxes (bought each one as they came out) I feel like I should give my honest opinion here: No. Absolutely not. I beg you, please refrain from wasting a small fortune in ...
