Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release

Dragon Ball Kai: TFC was a truly rushed job but they tried working with what they had and TOEI wanted it 16:9 AR + DNR'd so that's what happened. Imo, Kai TFC tends to look really good depending which release you purchase and the cropping was actually selective than "selective" (FUNi claim...

Re: Bootleg topic! Real vs fake

I was just browsing Amazon Japan and came across this...
This bootleg product is slowly gaining popularity, even moreso the packaging looks nicer than the official.

Re: Dragon Ball Super in Portugal

No need to make a drama out of nothing. EU doesn't necessarily refer to European Union. In many situations, including regarding languages and dialects, EU is short for European. EU PT is european portuguese, just like BR PT is brazillian portuguese. There's nothing offensive about his comment. Rare...

Re: "Dragon Ball Super" Manga UK Home Release Thread

It seems their Collector's Edition for My Hero Academia Season One Part One will contain the booklet too , so maybe if they do release Rock the Dragon we will get a softcover version of the one in Funimation's version not just a re-release of the set in standard DVD casing with nothing else, and it...

Re: Non-thread-worthy discussions

I love the art work of the Season Blu-ray sets but absolutely hate the PQ of it. Sigh. Great packaging, shit video quality. :(


At least it's getting an art book though exclusively sold with the 30th Anniversary release. :problem:

Re: Site to read or get raw scans of DB manga in Japanese

Well, not entirely against it. There's a section where users share fan-edits of official products and users also PM each other with full DB content but okay, it's against piracy. :P Oh I KNOW... but still, buy it, it's awesome, owning DB in Japanese is great ! I own plenty of legal DB stuff but buy...

Re: Funimations 30th anniversary collectible home video release

I'd say the fight is over. Nobody's getting anything for DBZ'a 30th anniversary. Funimation could retry this with better quality because they obviously get the message, but would they even try this again? Pretty much. This release felt like bait from the get-go for the hardcore fans to be overly hy...

Re: Help Guide for DBZ Funimation Singles DVDs (links + screens)

I've always wanted to own the best release of the "Ocean Dub" and while I kinda do (Rock the Dragon) the definitive one is Madman's DVD set. Here's why: The Ocean Dub Madman releases were the best! I have those because they had the title screen, recaps and previews before and after each ep...

Re: Site to read or get raw scans of DB manga in Japanese

This site is against piracy so I recommend buying them, you'll get a far better idea of the differences if you're actually holding the books, the quality is totally different. I only own a few Kanzenban but I own all 32 volumes of the Full Color release, it's cool! Well, not entirely against it. Th...

That ain't legal, is it? You may find it elsewhere (it's like the TPB of Anime).

Pirate VHS copy of Fusion Reborn or legit?

Saw this on an eBay auction and while it looks like a bootleg copy, I'd like if someone could confirm.


Was this one of those prehistoric DBZ tapes with English 'spicy' subs and where the fansubbers were at 'war'? :lol:

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?

Finally snatched a copy of DBZ Movie 2 with the "Big Green" dub.

I double-checked it was really movie 2 cause I can't get used to TOEI's English translated titles. xD

Well, that's definitely not true but if you look at the gallery you'll be left mind-blown because they used promo scans than the OB screenshots. I don't get how this was allowed cause this definitely lies under "misinformation" but on the bright side we can see promo scans. Example: https:...

Re: It’s time for fans to come together and remaster the series properly.

Can't speak for AM but the Dragon Boxes are starting to feel a bit dated due to the pink tint and not being remastered in high def.

I love seeing the promo scans of Dragon Ball Z but at the same time I hate because Dragon Ball Z will never look that good. :(

How would you work with it being incomplete while still syncing it with the Japanese footage? Also, while I get that high quality releases require high storage, it shouldn't require one whole harddrive There are two different type of "incomplete", one in that the series wasn't dubbed in i...

It would be great to include as many dubs and subs as possible so every Dragon Ball fan around the world would finally get his proper release he (or she) has been dreaming for so long I honestly don't trust TOEI or FUNimation to remaster DB, DBZ or DBGT as it should so I'm glad the Dragon Boxes, AB...

I always took it as Goku "departing" and whenever I watch episode 64 and the final part of GT TV SP it brings a tear to my eye. To me, GT offered the real ending of the Classic Dragon Ball era. Modern Dragon Ball era with the 2008 OVA and Kai. There was a Dragon Ball special prior to the 2...
