DB Movie 2 had a Funi DVD single released late in 2005. That might be the best open matte transfer of that film ATM, though there's a rumor of an R3 release with the Funi single master that has a higher bitrate. Doesn't that also suffer from the fps issue? Depends on which source was used, if it us...

There were a couple of US and Canada and CD releases of Dragon Ball. For Z there were a few releases but there was only one English OST for OG DB that was released as far as I'm aware and it only has stuff that was made back when FUNi was working with BLT productions for their first dub of the seri...

It's a shame that the English versions of Makafushi Adventure and Romantic Ageru Yo (I'll Give You Romance) didn't get a soundtrack release. Where would I be able to find the highest quality version of these songs? Were they featured on any Blu-rays? (or anybody know where I can download them? :sil...

I'm strapped for money right now and have a car insurance payment due in a little over a week so I've decided to try selling off my DB/Z/GT/Movies/Specials Fansub tape collection containing 60 tapes in total, I only have one DB tape containing episodes 1, 12-15 which are recordings of Hawaii's Nippo...

For anybody that's curious about the quality regarding these Asian Black Box collections you can find some links to screencaps in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=42282&p=1512156#p1512166

Just took a look at the Amazon video screenshots of this new master and WOW Toei actually attempted a color correction job on the movies for once and honestly the colors look 100x better compared to the DBOX versions (is it 100% correct? no but it's a major step in the right direction and this is ho...

The blue boxsets are bootleg for sure (I have the first volume and it's severely gimped), the black box on the other hand seems to be an official R3 release, could you post some screen caps from the black boxset as I've been curious to see how the quality of the R3 DVDs compare to the other DBZ rel...

Well, for GT, any company that got the old videotape master of the show got a copy of its master audio. No way of knowing if a similar thing happened with DB or Z, but I'd say it's highly unlikely. GT I'm not too worried about as I'm fully aware of the D2 master audio copies and know those still ex...

I just had an interesting thought that I don't think has been brought up yet, would it be possible that AB Groupe or some other international distributor from the 80's were given copies of the cinetapes in some form or another and retained those masters accidentally, if so we may have been going abo...

Hopefully this new "Dragon Ball Room" will be more of a archival kind of department primarily dedicated to preserving the DB anime series as a whole, as someone who appreciates and respects the hard work that went into a series like DB/Z/GT (Kai and Super don't really have the issues I'm a...

I can't speak for other countries, but here in the U.S. the problem primarily boils down to the fact that no anime distributors were/are willing to actually give the series an honest chance (to date Discotek has been the ONLY U.S. company that has ever been willing to really give it a chance and off...

Come to think of it, was this ever released in Japan outside of the dragon box ? Yes, various countries in the West released it on DVD. I know it's been released everywhere else but what about Japan ? there isn't any single listing for it on the site here so I assume it hasn't been released there o...

Why can't you watch the show with its cropped image? I own all of the Orange Bricks and they are perfectly fine. They are Uncut and you can see the show. At worst Butter and Recoome's heads are cut off during their pose and some oddly bright moments but big whoop. Here's how I see it and you may di...

The only benefits that the movie 4 pack has over the 3 pack is the 5.1 audio for Movie 2 (the movie 3 pack version isn't a true 5.1mix and also has an audio issue somewhere) and the unobstructed ending to movie 3 (the movie 3 pack version obstructs the right half of the screen with a bluish purple b...

You guys are thinking of this Kaioshin: http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Grand_Supreme_Kai when Saikachi actually voiced this Kaioshin: http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Grand_Kai ..I'm gonna have to file this under things that grind my gears, as that is not a Kaioshin(Supreme Kai), but just The Gra...

Grand Kaioshin had a speaking role? Huh, today I learned.. and rest in peace Saikachi-san. I do believe that the Grand Supreme Kai had a few battle grunts, etc. You guys are thinking of this Kaioshin: http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Grand_Supreme_Kai when Saikachi actually voiced this Kaioshin: ht...

Here's how I see things, if something was animated in 4:3 with the intention of being presented as such, then it should stay in 4:3 period (same goes for 16:9 or any other aspect ratio) because IMHO when you crop a 4:3 image to 16:9 when the material wasn't originally meant to be seen in 16:9, not o...

Here's what was happening in DB the week I was born. Manga: Chapter #418 "Farewell, Warriors" was published in Weekly Shōnen Jump the same day I was born (April 13, 1993) Anime: Dragon Ball Z Episode #181 "Someone Who Will Succeed the Strongest… His Name is Gohan" aired in Japan ...
