This website just said they took my video and apparently many others. Who are they? http://db-z.net/ They have links to first episode of Kai. I'm not trying to distribute, but show what's going on with this weird site. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQed1zrFohI They were spamming my videos a while ...

I know these are real releases, but the packaging reminds me of the famous blue boxed bootlegs. Not even close. These boxes actually look nice. You sure about that? http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/6010/img01481.th.jpg http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/6861/img01511.th.jpg http://img299.imagesha...

Any chance you have it archived somewhere, EX? :P
I second this. Someone has to have a screen cap of some sorts.

They were all making puns in the Dragonball Kai thread. Too bad I didn't screencap it, it really showed off our community's adeptness with words.

Do you know how expensive full animation is compared to what they are doing? Sure, they may have the money for it, but the finished product will be a lot worse than what it will be if they improve on existing art. I doubt we want to see 100 newly animated episodes of Dragonball with every other epi...

In what way does it make "more" sense? I meant for to me. Personally. I understand you're excited about it and I'm not trying to bring down anyone's excitement. I just feel like if they can make a new logo, rerecord the audio, and make a new intro/ending then they could animate new episod...

They might actually re transfer the footage from the cels to a digital format again, like they did for the Dragonboxes. If they to that, we won't have to worry about any upscaling. Err, they didn't transfer the footage from cels. The cels were photographed on 16mm film a long time ago and then most...

I would imagine recreating a scene to take more time than adding a tad bit more to the edges, which is supposedly what they're doing. It might end up being the other way around though. If they just edit parts of the image, they have to spend large amounts of time, making sure their style matches th...

Has anyone brought up the idea that Toei might be doing this because of the success FUNimation had with the Season sets? It sort of makes sense once you think about it. FUNimation took a risk by nuking their masters and cropping half the picture off and marketing it as new, and amazingly, got an ove...

So, will our forum members in Japan be doing live play-by-plays as it airs? Kei: What's the general populace's thoughts on DBK? We should all be able to see it live, with those streaming programs that became popular during Code Geass R2. I'm pretty sure the more of us that watch, the better quality...

2chan, it was the original (Japanese) 4chan.
Off topic, but 2ch isn't the same thing as 2chan. 2ch is closer to this forum than it is to something like 2chan or 4chan.

This has to be one of the biggest days in Dragonball history. Now all we have to do is find a way to get uncompressed transport streams of this release so we can all enjoy it the way is really was meant to be seen.

I wouldn't. Budokai is great on its own, it doesn't need to be weighed down by Sparking's dumb mechanics.

It's a business model they decided to go with and it's "the Japanese way" to do it like that. No change can happen. Very true. Changing "the Japanese way" is like trying to make applesauce out of a rock. Which, to the best of my knowledge, cannot be done. They're doing a pretty ...
