What Exists of the "Vendar" Dub

For as long as Dragon Ball has existed, certain aspects of its production have continued to be almost, if not totally, lost to time. Some obvious examples include things such as the higher-fidelity "Japanese Broadcast Audio," the alternative "Westwood Studios English Dub," and th...

Re: Dragon Ball Z product placement commericials

I remember listening to a panel with Linda Young a few years ago and she said one of her most memorable moments playing Frieza was actually doing a Pepsi commercial with Chris Sabat as Vegeta. Seems like the ad never made it to air, but it sounds like it could've been amazing.

Re: Ocean Studios' "Dragon Ball Kai" Dub Turns 12; Still Unreleased

I have to admit that over the past decade it has gotten more and more on my nerves how apparent it is that the Ocean Studios actors seem to care very little about their roles as such iconic characters. The fact that Lee Tockar can't even recognize his own voice or the show itself doesn't instill any...

Re: Will we see a Latin American Kai redub before its streamed?

They've got some pretty cool cel scans in 4K resolutions making up the backgrounds for each of the episodes. So that's 98 cel scans!

Re: Color Correcting the Dragon Box - 3 Part Spectacular

I tried slamming in a shot from Episode 86: The Last Wish into a program called "Topaz Gigapixel." The point of the program is to artificially enhance the detail in any photograph (or in this case, a screenshot) with "machine learning." In my opinion, it doesn't look too bad for ...

I’m pretty sure edited Kai was done in HD. I’m not 100% sure about the NickToons broadcast, but the CW broadcast, which was based on the Nick one with further edits done to it, was in HD. I know this from memory, and from YouTube clips. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxCNb7ni2ra7lT8cWm1_8-V...

Re: "Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan" & more coming to U.S. Theaters later this year!

There's probably a reason for the Japanese screenings this time around when they didn't do them for Battle of Gods and Resurrection F. Lately, FUNimation has been giving movie-goers the option of either watching their screenings in their English-dubbed or original language formats; they've done so ...

Re: Dragon Box Footage used on DBZ Single?

Interesting stuff! Is this the case for the VHS release too? The release of Volume #49 (Guardian's Return) on VHS was 11/6/2001; over two years prior to the release of its DVD equivalent, which was released on 3/23/2004. The Dragon Boxes were not released in Japan until 2003, and as such, the usual...

Dragon Box Footage used on DBZ Single?

I was re-watching the Cell Games Saga on my North American DVD singles and noticed that the first episode included on Volume #49 (Guardian's Return) has vastly superior video quality compared to the latter episodes on the disc. To me, it looked more akin to TOEI's Dragon Box masters as opposed to FU...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Cooler DVD Box Set

I'm assuming the version on those DVDs is the same version that aired on Toonami US years ago. Movies 4-6 did receive both edited and unedited boxsets. You can tell ...

Offering $200 for that is ridiculous. You can't even get a used set of either series for so little, let alone a complete set of Dragon Boxes in their original cardboard shipping containers.

Re: Countries that start with DBZ really missed a lot

Even if you don't count Harmony Gold's English dub as the start of Dragon Ball in the United States, you would still have the 1995 FUNimation/BLT Productions dub to consider. Dragon Ball was in syndication almost a year before Dragon Ball Z started airing, so technically the United States didn't &qu...
