Re: AB vidéo has given up on continuing their Dragon Ball releases on Blu Ray

Not a fan of the whole AI upscale thing but I appreciate the color correction and Broadcast audio. Shame they couldn't get the masters and had to rely on basically ripping DVDs.

Re: Have there ever been post 90s interviews with Toriyama on his creative process?

Closest I can recall was around the time he was making (I think it was Jaco) digitally drawn manga and the struggles with that.

The bits we get (from toyotaro) about the fixes and suggestions from Toriyama are pretty insightful tho.

Would you be ok with SD-blurays?

This isnt so much about what masters would be used but more about space.

I've been a big fan of Discotek's full series in SD on one or two discs. I would love if more places started doing this more. It would allow for more audio and bonus features and it saves a lot more space!

Re: Toyotaro Is Not the Right Successor. To Me, Dragon Ball Ends with Daima

I think for me, I'm with the OP. After the next arc is done in the manga. I'm pretty much done with Dragon Ball. I appreciate the stuff that's come out, but for me, it's getting to be too much in the "gotta have it all" sense.

For Toriyama's influence, I feel it can be murky, and there's at least ...

Re: Masako Nozawa's $3000 USD Autographs

beyond not worth it, as much as I'd love to get her autograph. Autograph prices have gotten ridiculous over the last 10 years. People I've gotten signed 5 years ago for $70 are $800+ now. Heck, I remember when anime convention autographs were free!

Sadly tho, people are willing to pay for it and no ...

This is sad to see with the span of Dragon Ball VA's dying. He's not my favorite VA for Roshi but I wish him the best

Re: Bootleg DVD thread


Little bump here, I'm considering buying some of the old Funimation DVD singles on ebay but I see that in many cases some of the discs are reflective and some of them are not. Is this normal? Are both legit? Here's an example:

Grandpa Gohan by blood?

I was just think about how Toriyama played with Goku and Piccolo being an alien near the end of Dragon Ball. Clearly, it wasn't the case for early Dragon Ball since its main focus was playing on Journey into the West.

So, at some point, It's easy to assume Grandpa Gohan was Goku's biological ...
