Cheap digital DBZ seasons at the Microsoft Store

For those of you who don't owe DBZ, this is a pretty cheap alternative. Of course it's widescreen (cropped) and "HD". It's probably the same image from the latest seasons disc release. It's on sale so hurry up. The first season is free, the second and third are $5 each, the rest are $10 each.

Re: Backing up Dragon Boxes

I'm sorry to say, but making dvd rips will never have the same quality. There will always be some loss. Maybe you can't see it very well, but re-encoding anything always makes a loss in quality.
That's why he remuxes audio/video streams into a different container instead of re-encoding them ...

Re: The way Akira Toriyama draws facial expressions

His art style is unique, my favorite as well. The eyes are the most unique part.

I forgot what I use to make exact copies, but I use MakeMKV to make MKVs quickly with the quality intact.

Re: How good is this Box?

To answer your cuestion, I do find Spanish dubs a lot more neutral than Latin American dubs. However, that's entirely a matter of how it sounds to your ears. I don't think that one dub is more neutral than the other, but rather than they both appeal to different audiences.
The range of accents ...

Re: How good is this Box?

Thanks for the info. Not really interested in buying it but I was curious about its quality. I'm missing Funimation DBOX 1 and 2, I refuse to buy them at those prices. I do know Spanish but I honestly can't bear to hear any kind of accent in a cartoon (heavy Spain accent in these ones, plus the dub ...

Re: How good is this Box?

Pretty vague title you have here, you might want to change to "How good is the Spanish Dragon Box Z?" because asking how good a box is, well, a box's box.

Moving on, the Spanish Dragon Box is a really good release for those that know Japanese, Castellano, Catalán, Euskerá or Gallego and as for the ...

I'm looking for reviews but has anyone here seen a sample or something somewhere? Just out of curiosity.

Re: Comments on the Latin American dub.

What is this thread supposed to be? You just wanted to comment on the dub?

Anyway, as a person who's seen dozens of DB dubs around the world, I admit that the Latino dub is one of the best dubs for old series. However, I do find it overrated at the same time. There are some nonsensical translation ...

Re: Comments on the Latin American dub.

I grew up with the Latin American dub as well, and it holds a very special place in my heart. The dirty jokes and inconsistencies that surrounded them flew over my head completely as a child, but some of the stuff they censored was innocent, like naked kid Goku, for example. It doesn't really ...

Re: Comments on the Latin American dub.

You Forgot the fact that the Dragon Balls are called the Dragon DRAGON SPHERESS . And Chichi is Milk. And when Oolong wishes for Bulma's panties he says "I want Bulma for my girlfriend"

And it is MORE THAN perfect.

People need to understand that in order for the series to air SOME STUFF had to ...

Comments on the Latin American dub.

I grew up watching the Latin American dub, but it's definitely not perfect, although sometimes obviously it's on purpose to not say any of the dirty stuff. Just for the hell of it, I'll give you an example.

Roshi asking Bulma if he can poke her boobs = Roshi asking for a kiss
Oolong asking if he ...

Re: For dub fans, how much of a deal breaker is Nozawa's gok

Never bothered me because I always thought of Goku as a unique, strange person, so the voice was just part of that personality. EDIT: I am a dub fan, although I watch the Latin dub.

NEPs with subtitles? Where are they other than the D. Boxes?

I'm missing DBOX Z 1 and 2, I'm never going to get them because of the price. What other releases have NEPs with subtitles?

Also, are there even any releases of the original Dragon Ball that have NEPs? (other than Japanese only releases)

Re: Dragon Boxes (US) prices

Why does Funimation not release 4:3 footage really? What's the best they got? If they had a contract with TOEI to only release a certain amount of Dragon Boxes, does that mean the whole package or does it mean they can release the Dragon Box quality video in different packaging? How does that work ...

Re: Dragon Boxes (US) prices

To me, the Dragon Boxes are just a standard release. Just because the other releases are subpar the DBOXes seem premium. It's crazy that the only standard release is "limited", pretty screwed up for the fans. There aren't even any extras or anything special about them other than books. How many ...
