No offense, but where those image links go to looks a little sketchy.

Re: Orange Bricks vs Blu-rays (2014) - Definitive Discussion

Both are crap, neither is particularly better than the other, it's a choice between two unbelievably shit, not-worth-your-money sets, which you really shouldn't buy. But if you absolutely must pick which one, just pick whichever is cheaper, and buy it second-hand. Then with the vague moral covering...

Re: Unpopular DB opinions

MistareFusion is the only YouTube channel centered around Dragon Ball that I can honestly recommend to anyone. He takes his time with videos to provide a consistent level of quality, and that isn't something you get with most (successful) Dragon Ball channels. You'll never see him overanalyze chara...

Re: Editing of painfully-outdated LGBT+ content in future DB(Z) releases?

Should every piece of entertainment that's ever existed/will exist be altered to reflect changes to the views of a society? Should they be altered every single time things change? No, because that's silly (at best) and a threat to preservation of entertainment (at worst). Dragon Ball was created in ...

Re: What media haven't you consumed?

There's things I've looked into partially or not at all, but I'll probably check out all of these things (and finish the others) in time. For the purposes of this list, I'll only leave things I've either never touched or have little memory of. . Dragon Ball (anime, show) - I've read the manga at lea...

Re: Do you actually believe that we are currently in some second Dragon Ball golden age?

I live in Canada, and I can just walk into a Walmart and buy Dragon Ball merchandise as easily as something like Paw Patrol . Maybe other provinces are different than my own, but I haven't been able to say that since around 2009. I'd say the demand is bigger than it's been in a long time. Hell, I ha...

Re: Personal Thoughts on the Ocean Dub

I'm slightly biased as a Canadian due to the actors being from here (and me having grown up with those actors) as well as having been acknowledged by Brian Drummond a couple of times, but I honestly think that the work they did (in regards to the quality of the acting and some of the voices themselv...

Re: Orange Bricks vs Blu-rays (2014) - Definitive Discussion

With Dragon Ball Kai , only the DVD's are cropped to 16:9. That's only for the Japanese release. The French and German releases are 16:9 and available on Blu-ray as well as DVD. And of course, this all only applies to ep 1-98, as The Final Chapters was only done in 16:9 to begin with. Oh? That's in...

EDIT: Because I'm dumb and didn't clearly state it, my two screenshots from the original post are from the Orange Bricks.

Re: Orange Bricks vs Blu-rays (2014) - Definitive Discussion

The Orange Bricks are a center crop. The Blu-rays apparently use an automated tilt and scan. Sometimes the result is better, sometimes the result is worse. I know you didn't include them in your comparison, but you should also include 16:9 Kai, which of the three clearly had the most work in trying...

Re: Orange Bricks vs Blu-rays (2014) - Definitive Discussion

I think some more direct comparisons would be helpful. We have a few but I feel for best analysis there should be a OB/BR/DBx trio of the shots. Side-bar: your avatars are gonna make this thread veeeeeery confusing! Wow, and i just noticed he's got the same avatar as me as do one or two others on t...
