Do you care when there's black bars at the top and bottom of your TV when most films use a 2.35:1 aspect?

Just a follow up as mine has actually arrived now. Took a quick snap on my phone so sorry about the quality. Looks really fantastic. I want to get it framed but I'm not sure what's the best way to present it. I was initially thinking about having the drawing on the left and the cel on the right and,...

Re: Success of a failure... dissecting FUNi's Z dub

Saying the Funimation dub isn't DB because it has a different tone and different interpretations of the charactes is like saying Brave And The Bold or the 60's series isn't Batman because they have a different tone. Not really, those are tonally designed to be as they are from scratch. They didn't ...

Re: Success of a failure... dissecting FUNi's Z dub

What's equivalent to the Japanese counterpart is fairly subjective. What if someone doesn't care for the Japanese actor? I do agree that the casts should have seasoned casts, but being equal to their Japanese counterpart is impossible to measure. I don't mean in terms of how they sound, I think it'...

Re: Success of a failure... dissecting FUNi's Z dub

An English dub of an anime has to represent that show for the English-speaking audience (or just the people who don't read subtitles). It's the ambassador of that show to a whole new audience. It has to do the show justice or what it's representing fails to take hold in any meaningful fashion. I do...

Ah, that looks awesome. I've been some of these cels priced insanely. There was an amazing 4 layered SSJ Goku for about $800 on one site. I wish'd for a moment that I had all the money in the world.

Re: What are the chances of Dragon Ball Z in 4K?

The "four thousand" in the "4K" refers to the four thousand lines of vertical resolution It's actually the horizontal resolution (just to be nitpicky :angel:) but anyway, regarding this topic - there's literally no benefit for 4K with Dragon Ball. It was shot on 16mm which in it...

Re: More than 5 Years On....

It's a pretty beautiful game. Personally the last great DBZ game. I can't stand that 3D camera bullshit where it's behind you half the time. Give me a straight up old school fighter with some verticality for air battle and I'm sold. This had it all. My only complaint is the small roster of character...

Dragon Ball Production Cels

I've been shopping around for production cels from the show. Ended up picking this up recently: http://i.imgur.com/eebKQ9S.jpg I've always loved the SSJ4 design and of course, Vegeta is a fantastic character so this was the best of both worlds. There's already a 'your recent purchases thread' but I'...

Re: FUNimation "DBZ on Blu-Ray" Survey

The way many are feeling about DBZ right now is the same way that filmmakers throughout the early years of home video releases felt about how their films were released. They feel like their baby is being tampered with unnecessarily.

Re: Could Kai've been more condensed?

Indeed. Though it may not work on a filmic level, they're there to see on what Kai could have literally been like if it really was just a Manga-cut paced story. Combining those three cuts together, it only goes up to about 12 and a half minutes worth of an episode. Must have taken some time. Nice j...
