Kineko video has restored 13 episodes of dragon ball in glorious hd. From multi gen prints no less. If toei wasn't too lazy to re scan the original ocn in 4k we could have even better. Alas it is what ...

Re: Why did we never got a Dragon box reprint?


Iirc thar was the original intent of Lance Heiskell (I think it's somewhere in that video linked earlier) or at the very least the edited version of those episodes. He wanted the show releasedas it aired on Cartoon Network with the Toonami bumpers and everything. Cartoon Network couldn't find the ...

Re: Why did we never got a Dragon box reprint?

Toei probably blocking them reusing the "Dragon Box" branding and like someone said above only allowed it for a limited set.

But why CR/Funi never do a re-release using the 4:3 DBox video masters isn't something I'd think Toei would be behind. Practically every other country uses DBox video masters ...

Re: Racism and the Dragon Ball fandom

I agree with the OP but I don't think this is exclusive to the Dragon Ball community but the wider online English-speaking anime community.

Back in 2020 I did a social experiment on Funimation's discord server's "meme channel" where all I did for one day was post things an African American friend ...

Re: Could foreign dub casts be a thing of the past?



I only show excitement for the Horikawa one. And that's because I found it pretty crazy to hear Horikawa's voice speaking English and I much prefer that over every English dub Vegeta voice we've ever gotten.

I mean, it sounds more or less like a younger version of Milton James' Vegeta from the ...

What I'm more curious about here is, why are so many people going "These examples do not sound good, therefore the hypothetical future scenario described will never happen. "

Like, you know the whole point here was not "AI voices are currently at a level where they can replace humans" but "At the ...

Also, scratch the 5-10 years.

It looks like AI art (despite only really kicking off barely 6 months ago) is already making its way into replacing human artists in anime:

At the risk of sounding rude....have you ever heard an actual person talk....ever?

This line would be the slightest bit funny if it made any sense.

Must be placebo.

Could foreign dub casts be a thing of the past?

I am literally shaking.

I saw a video today on YouTube of Ryo Horikawa doing an English voice for vegeta generated by AI and it sounds almost good enough to be real and dare I say better than any English dub performance for Vegeta.

There was another video of Masako Nozawa doing english dub for ...

Kai wasn't modernized it just had basic color correction. It's fairly similar to the 90s lasersdiscs even so not modern.
Kai doesn't look like it had "basic" color correction. It seems like it had more extensive color correction, given what's left of the masters Toei has & what was shown on the ...

I meant series shot on 16mm because TOEI hasn't remastered any more since Galaxy Express 999. People keep hoping for TOEI to do their own remaster of the original series, but they seem to have determined from the reception to their Galaxy Express 999 remaster that only a vocal minority care if its ...

I am still one of the few faithfuls that are holding out for Toei to put out the original series 3 series restored properly in HD, but that is looking less and less likely with each passing year

This is not going to happen because of the Galaxy Express 999 case, which was basically the only ...

Yeah of course what Kineko shows looks much better overall, I would prefer to watch the movies like that and not how Toei made them.

but if these have a small negative point, like the dark details not being that good, (something that could be fixed apparently)

Unless the black levels are crushed like the orange bricks, then I'm fine with a little bit of detail being lost if it means an overall superior remaster.

So does that mean you're fine with how the Kineko darks look? Or is it like orange bricks?
