Re: Dragon Ball Z "Seasons" Coming To Blu-ray (Updated 12/20

The fact that Kai wasn't properly remastered in HD compared to FUNimation's Level BDs has been proved. How can this comparison even be considered? The two remasters had completely different goals. The purpose of the Kai remaster was to update and modernize the show for today's broadcast standards a...

Re: So series like Street Fighter,Mario,CoD get excused on t

Street Fighter is constantly evolving between iterations, and the meta-game is constantly evolving between versions. I don't think you could be any more wrong by saying that SF4 feels like Third Strike. Sure, they're both 2D fighters, but the character mechanics, frame data, and meta game are entire...

Re: Dragon Ball Z "Seasons" Coming To Blu-ray (Updated 12/20

Just drummed up a little side by side comparison in Photoshop. It's obvious that the frame has been shifted. There is a little extra space on the sides, but it would in no way result in a shift like this. http://gyazo.com/15d033fd00a36665e6fb141390625c35.png Thank you that proves my point that it i...

Are you serious? look at the image there isn't any noticeable extra image on the sides if anything its a few millimeters it doesn't magically add half an inch of space under Gohan's arm. Look at the flat part of gohan's hair on the right side it's clearly noticeable that the frame has been moved do...

What do you mean by that, exactly? You're signature includes a dub only line which gives the implications that you are a fan of FUNi's English dub. He's likely playing off the stereotype that dub only fans like FUNi's old dub due to ignorance. This would explain why you would have a signature of a ...

Re: A Newcomer's Experience

I love the summary of her thoughts :lol:

Also it's a pleasant surprise that she's really putting so much thought into the series. I know that even now, I don't think this much about what I'm seeing while I'm seeing it.

Re: A Newcomer's Experience

I'd have to agree that Schemmel's Goku feels way too heroic. But that's not Schemmel's Goku, that's Funimation Production's English adaptation of Goku. Heroism is a theme that young Western audiences identify strongly with, and the traditional white American hero is a well worn formula. Adapting Go...

Re: Dragon Ball Z "Seasons" Coming To Blu-ray (Updated 12/20

Well first, DBZ is popular, as far as anime shows go. Beyond that... eh. I'd have to disagree. While it certainly isn't fresh in the public memory, I can't think of a single male in my graduating high school class (last year) who didn't love DBZ growing up. Many still watched the show on DVD and wa...

Re: A Newcomer's Experience

I'd have to agree that Schemmel's Goku feels way too heroic. Even if Goku is cocky at that point on Namek, Schemmel's inflection while delivering the speech sort of slips back into the "Hope of the Universe" style of delivery that I hate his original portrayal for. On that note: Last night...

Re: Dragon Ball Z "Seasons" Coming To Blu-ray (Updated 12/20

Fucking hell these look awful. How is it that the DBoxes stretched to 1080p still look much sharper and clearer than the friggin Blu-Ray!? Dammit, Funimation. Just from those alone we can see that as expected the youtube trailer didn't do it justice and they look much better than the orange bricks. ...

In the past TV Specials and as such were retitled to "Movie __" and that sort of bugged me because they never were in the first place Where they? I think this is a common misconception. I'm pretty sure they've only called the DBZ TV specials "movies" when airing them on TV. I fe...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Kai blu ray black bars

But wait a minute, I thought Kai was made in 4:3 since that's how the original was, but was cropped to 16:9 in Japan for broadcast purposes (despite the Japanese DVDs using that AR). Wouldn't that make sense as both the American and Japanese Blu-Rays use 4:3? Or was I fooled... Basically, the Blu-R...

Re: Why do the Season sets default to English with Japanese

I don't think that a whole lot of casual fans with nostalgia for the Toonami broadcast really care too much about the musical track. When I got back into the series a few years ago, I watched a few episodes dubbed. I didn't even notice that I wasn't hearing the Falcouner score. It was only once I re...

Re: Dragon Ball Z "Season One" Coming To Blu-Ray (Updated 10

Not really, the colors are nearly identical and you can still tell it's pretty sharp. There's lots of macroblocking though. With these screens from the new trailer, there's barely any macroblocking, and what's sharp looks very sharp, including the grain from the "past" footage. This new t...
