Re: Blue brick vs singels

That seems to be an issue with deinterlacing. The Blue Bricks are progressive scan, so there are no artifacts like that.

Re: What do you think of the YouTuber Totally Not Mark's analysis videos?

He's easily the best DB critic on YouTube. He's not perfect nor do I agree with some of his views, but no one else on Youtube does a better literary analysis of the series than him. MistareFusion/Gaffer Tape of this very forum is better at analyzing and... well... dissecting the series in my eyes. ...

Re: The End of the Blue Bricks?

They still sold the Orange Bricks after the season BDs were released. Surely this is just a COVID induced shortage.

Re: Funi's Kai dub and accuracy

Am I the only one who feels Schemmel's King Kai has gotten way, way worse on both a vocal front, as well as a scripting one? He's become super raspy and hard to understand, and his dialog has become ridiculously punched up and is way too wordy and even more jokey than the Japanese scripts. I recall ...

Re: Problem #472 with the Dragon Boxes - DNR

The later, less DNRd Orange Bricks and the Double Features seem to have a similar motion blur issue with dark colors. I've noticed many frames have a bit of the previous frame lingering in the blacks and other dark colors (but I don't have any shots on hand. I'll either update this post or post them...

Re: Dragon Ball Z Singles - Faithful to Broadcast?

The Tree of Might three parter was aired on Toonami once though. I distinctly remember it. The few times i saw it on Toonami as a kid it was always the movie version they played. If I recall correctly, they only played it like that once, and I think it was at the end of the Namek arc like the origi...

Re: Dragon Ball/Z/GT home releases moving forward

The Ultimate Uncut redub -- having the inaccurate "OVER NINE THOUSAND" line, but they were talked into it... Uh... With all of the inacurracies in that dub, that's what they were bothered by? Also, this was 2005, before Kajetokun made it a meme. Why would FUNi have fought for it back then?

Re: Is it time to accept Faulconer OST did it better than the original?

Side note - I thought it was pretty neat that they repurposed the shelved Trunks themes into Goku's themes instead. Yeah, that was good in Goku's Cell Games sacrifice. I still would have liked to have had the unused Trunks tracks in their original place. That freaking Trunks promotional video had m...

Re: Orange Bricks - Why the Bleaching?

I just think it was a fault of the automated process. I guess some episodes of seasons twp and three had less dark masters, so the settings they had it one resulted in a few episodes being over-brightened, blowing out some skin tones. At the very least, much of OB season two looks pretty decent, and...

Re: What would be your ideal Dragon Ball home release?

All I really want is a Blu-ray (and DVD since I still use that on my PC since BDs are super annoying to get working on it) with FUNimation's raw 4:3 masters, the original broadcast dub (but the Season Set redub with Sabat replacing Mignogna is fine by me for those Ultimate Uncut dub episodes), and o...

Bought one for curiosity's sake. Guess you'll find out if it's a bootleg or not! Well, it's directly from Amazon, so it's highly doubtful, but in the past I have ordered items that were swapped by the buyer and returned, which Amazon then resold as new (a GPU which was swapped with a very old 3DFX ...

Re: Is it time to accept Faulconer OST did it better than the original?

Here's my take: there is nothing wrong with synth based music. Faulconer team's instruments were made primarily of a sample based synthesizer, and many of the samples sound like generic MIDI samples. The woodwind samples that the team used in particular was very cheap and cheesy sounding. One of the...
