I made some comparisons of the 35mm episodes using the 30th anniversary set and dbz kai http://www.framecompare.com/image-compare/screenshotcomparison/DYDGPNNX http://www.framecompare.com/image-compare/screenshotcomparison/J1JECNNU http://www.framecompare.com/image-compare/screenshotcomparison/DYD6...

It's interesting how the watery line work on from the Cell Game that's present on the Blu-ray sets are also present on the 30th Anniversary sets. And what's this I've read on Twitter about Funi adding fake grain on top of the footage as a form of damage control? They did the same thing for Cowboy B...

Taika Waititi or the Wachowskis could do it. Besides them, I have my doubts that anyone else in Hollywood could pull this off. Dead on arrival. From a production stand point it is no different than approaching something like the Avengers. That's what I meant. Don't try to pretend it would be any dif...

This is seriously fascinating technology, but there are definitely a ton of kinks that still need to be worked out before it's a viable upscaling option.

After a certain point you could argue it's preference, but to me it's immediately obvious to me that in spite of efforts to work in a 16:9 format, the majority of the animation works better in its full-frame counterpart. FWIW, the majority of the movies were storyboarded for fullscreen: https://pbs...

They're all significantly better experiences in 4:3. How do you figure? Seems like personal preference to me. The extra footage is neat, but being that they're post-Academy theatrical films, I personally prefer them in 1.85:1 and don't think the cropping is arbitrary. Barring some screenings and re...

Yeah, get ready for the release to be 16:9 regardless...

Makes no sense to me, aren't the type of people still buying physical in 2019 usually the same type of people who would want the original aspect ratio? Cater to your market! Why is this so hard!?

I'll admit that these results are interesting, I'd like the Gigapixel shot if not for what looks to be a sort of haloing effect around defined lines. It's also kind of hard for me to reconcile tons of artificial detail, even if this method yields more perceived depth than the usual upscale.

The output kind of reminds me of how a cel looks when you flip it over...

This is mostly correct. An American artist designed them, but they actually then sent the sketch to Toei, and they drew the finalized cover. I read it in the Prima Strategy Guide for Budokai 2. Same thing happened with the season set BDs and a couple of the US Super covers too. Thanks for this, I c...

I read a very long time ago that one of those covers (Budokai) was actually drawn by an American artist commissioned by Funimation. I even remember the artist being credited by name, I forget what name though. The same artist also drew the single VHS/DVD covers for Movie 7 and Movie 8 in the US. If ...

I think the more muscular characters tend to have that weird neck thing going on some of the time anyway, along with some kind of strange back curve. These can both be found across manga, anime, promo artwork etc. Somehow, these characteristics have even managed to make their way into some sculpts f...

What audience is this set even for? Is there anyone out there who doesn't already own this series and would plop $240 for it in one go? It would make a lot more sense to bundle Kai into one box and sell that for $150. The price wouldn't be as daunting and you'd have a better product on your hands. ...

I believe it was fan displeasure/burnout associated with Tadayoshi Yamamuro's character designs over the years combined with his somewhat green sense of film direction in Resurrection F . The powers that be simply felt that it was time for a different take. Broly's visual switch happening after the ...

I don't mean to sound flippant, but why would a new anime series be revealed by a foreign licensor outside of Japan? Unless it's announced shortly before the con, Funimation will probably just continue to pimp Z's 30th anniversary.

Does this actually play Tapion's theme from the film?

He has been spamming this thread like no others' business for the past month with the same stuff over and over again. And nobody responded because nobody knows what he's talking about. I think I have waited long enough to speak up until now. The fact that you had to wait is pretty telling if you as...

There is no blocking in all the images, I see only grain or noise, so there is no need to deblock. Furthermore it's pointless to include deblock or noise removal stuff in here because it has nothing to do with color correction. I'll grant that deblocking doesn't necessarily relate to this thread, b...

Nozawa is Goku and so much of my fondness for the character is due to her performance. If she were to retire the only recast that springs to mind would be Romi Park. That said I think she’d need to be given the freedom to make the role her own rather than attempt to imitate the inimitable. Park wou...

A show about the Ginyu Force like this could be entertaining.
