Re: Selecta Visión Dragon Ball Z Blu-ray

I don't think "Is it better than one of the absolute worst releases there is?" is a productive lens through which to discuss this set. The point is it's shit. It's in the same category as all the other bad DBZ releases and it's not worth anyone's time to figure out whether any of the other...

Wow, that is fucking atrocious.

Dragon Boxes as-is remain significantly superior.

It's possible it was a fan term that Funi adopted, like Kid Boo or, IIRC, Ultimate Gohan. I think Majin Vegeta might also be a case of this?

I still can't understand why Tokunaga wasn't brought back for Kai, even The Final Chapters; he would have been glorious.

Re: Has the "less cuts" in the YTV airings of the Westwood dub claim ever been verified?

The only differences I'm aware of between YTV and Toonami UK for the Westwood dubs are motion blur filters (to reduce epilepsy risks) applied to the UK airings. Allegedly GT episode 64 also had its full montage present on YTV whereas in the UK it was cut to remove the Japanese text scroll, but I've ...

Re: What's stopping Viz from licensing the Cell and Boo arcs of Dragon Ball Full Color?

Presumably sales over the lifetime of the line fell to a degree that it's not an effective use of their time or funds to continue to jump through the hoops required to license the remaining arcs individually. A dull answer, but usually the correct answer to this sort of question is incredibly boring...

Re: A Kai Version of DB (1986 OG Series)

Having seen some of KBABZ's work on T1C, I can confirm it will be pretty spectacular when it's eventually finished.

But Milkman's is very good from what I hear, and watching in Japanese is highly recommended to those able to read subtitles anyway.

Re: Dragon Ball Rewatch, Week 109 - GT 36-40 (CURRENT WEEK)

Yeah, the special is going where it originally sat in the Japanese broadcasts. The movie, I planned on putting between GT 15 and 16 since that's fairly close to when it released and it puts a little distance between the Black-Star Balls hunt in 1-15 and the unofficial beginnings of the Baby arc in e...

It's worth considering that Vegeta was probably fed some of the water offscreen as a precaution anyway. Done and dusted.

I always thought it was strange how Vegeta is immediately fine after Baby leaves him, and doesn't get given the Sacred Water like everyone else. It's also never explained how Baby infected the entire population in such a short timespan. He must have had another method than just jumping into everyon...

Do we know what happened to the New Vegeta-sei?

Not even when Ih Shenron is consuming the planet, or when the fuel for the s...

Watch in Japanese with subtitles. If it's 4:3, you're watching the Dragon Box version. If not, you're out of luck.

Re: FUNimation streaming all the Dragon Boxes now

I don't know the legalities involved but I wish FUNi would put the Ocean dub up on their site. I don't have the Rock the Dragon set, just the DVD's, so if they are ruined, I'm SOL. The original Saban one? The legalities are simple: Funimation wholly own it and can do whatever the hell they like wit...

Re: FUNimation streaming all the Dragon Boxes now

All I want is good video quality (which it has) Yeah, but as I say, the video quality is only okay. Far better results were achievable even back in 2003, Toei just elected to go for something cheaper. But, Funimation going with this instead of any of the shit they've done since 2006 is a big step f...

Re: FUNimation streaming all the Dragon Boxes now

I'm not a technophile so many of those issues with the DBoxes feel less substantive and more quibbles. The ONLY issue I have with this development is the lack of NEP's. Why are TOEI so damn stingy with them? Yeah. The reality is that, as I say, the Dragon Boxes are an okay 2003 DVD release. Nothing...

Hm. Looks like I was wrong about GT. I was misled by the shitty resolution and poor picture interpolation. :P But yeah, I was wrong. My bad.
