Such a sad news...

The Funimation DVD for OG (Blue Brick) and GT (Green Brick) had option for English version of OP and ED, which were pretty good.
I'm curious what Z English OP and ED would have been like and who would have been singer?

The English version (not English version by Kageyama) does exist in Pilipino ...

I wish there was Dragon Box 4K UHD.
Movies on those era were shot on 35mm film, so it would look great.
On one hand, the infamous censorship from Bio Broly would still retain, and Toei would likely to put more censorship on newer release.
I just hope Toei would release it uncut on higher quality ...

Somewhere in vault, there is script / concept ideas for unmade LIVE ACTION movies...

lol

I would be SHOCKED if we get new transfers. lol
This year is 40th anniversary of anime, so it's still possible.

...I'm still waiting for Blu-ray with proper HD remaster (VERY wishful thinking).

Didn't know there were that many editions.

The simpler explanation is Toei was under the impression that Mystic was a permanent state (his eyes were still drawn with a solid outline in post-Buu filler and EOZ) but couldn't be arsed to stay consistent with ower scaling because Goku had to be the strongest and they didn't want to do anything ...

One of the biggest mystery regards to GT is why Gohan was not able to become Ultimate/Mystic.
Many theorized that Gohan lost the ability, due to not fighting for decade, which seems to be logical sense.
Some speculate that production team just forget, which is also possible.
I'm not going to ...

It's hard to believe it's been 15 years since that was a thing. lol

Shenlong is a character.
He may not be the most interesting character, despite its importance, but he is definitely more than a tool.
At least he is more character than Giru from GT; that is LITERALLY a tool. lol

It is an interesting topic you bring up.

I'm curious if Sean Schemmel and Christopher Sabat would have been famous, had it not for English dub.
Their voice acting career literally launched with Dragon Ball Z and has gotten many roles for other anime since.

Here's my idea of crossover

Dragon Ball vs. Aliens vs. Predator vs. Doctor Who vs. Pokemon vs. Digimon vs. SpongeBob

It's going to be a smash hit eh? lol

Yes, it's a very niche franchise. When it did get dubbed on CN, it was far too late at that point. The show was showing its age compared to other shows airing at the time. 1986 anime didn't look as new and fresh compare to other titles airing on TV at the time.


It's interesting that anime from ...

The fandom would be much smaller, but the fandom would still exist and be huge in other places. It would be in the s ame boat as Saint Seiya is in the states .


Is Saint Seiya that small of fan base in America?
I remember seeing dubbed version "Knights of the Zodiac" on Cartoon Network.
I'm not ...

I'm grew up with original uncut version in early 90's, thanks to Japanese neighborhood friend who happened to have VHS recording of the shows. I watched Ocean/Pioneer dub when it aired and noticed the amount of edits, which was noticeable even as kid. lol

Had Dragon ball never dubbed in English ...

Well I mean if done right the results are fantastic like what Neo-Raws is doing with Seed of Might's Dragon Box cleanup and color correction, but you KNOW Toei wouldn't do it right.




I wouldn't mind an AI upscale if it has actual people supervising the entire process and making sure ...

No.


...but we are likely to get food made out of AI, than that to happen.

lol XD

I wouldn't mind double dipping extended cut of Resurrection F on Blu-ray, even if it's not that good of a movie.
It's possible that it might come out when/if 4K UHD version comes out, though it's very unlikely.

Consider the fact, Looney Tunes (1930) is almost 100 years old and still making new contents, with "The Day the Earth Blew Up" and upcoming "Coyote vs. Acme", Dragon Ball would definitely remembered for long, LONG, time.
