That's nice to have. I wish it was higher res.

So is there any chance they still have the 4x3 AR of Kai 2.0 laying around or they're completely gone? After seeing that scan I'd wish they still do.

Well, this Kai remaster seems to be pretty high quality compared to what's usually done, all things considered.

Check out how a widescreen-edited, color-corrected, CGI-redone, HD-fied TV show is usually more problematic:

"Buffy Kai" has likely much more money and efforts put into it, yet brings more problems.
Considering how Dragon Ball Kai probably puts minimal money and efforts AND brings minimal problems, one might consider it a good remaster with good artistic decisions.

[ShinGaijin]

I'm inclined to agree with you Cold Skin, not to mention the Saint Seiya "HD Remaster", which is a complete disaster.
As Dragon Ball fans, we're maybe more harsh and demanding...compared to several remasters, Kai isn't bad at all, it's just that it has some flaws that are unforgivable, due to a lack of professionalism more than a lack of budget (colors, music placement & choice).

[dbboxkaifan]

Saint Seiya's HD remaster, IMO, looks pretty decent and reminds me of Kai 1.0 as such is such it was done by Q-TEC.

Spoiler:

I'd totally purchase this if a UK/Australian company bought the licence and released this subbed on Blu-ray. New Video Group can go eat shit for what they've put Saint Seiya through.

That Saint Seiya BD is an upscale, Kai wasn't. Anyway, what DID NVG do to Saint Seiya that was so bad?

Well. That sure is one terribly formatted subtitle that really should have been split. Are there any other issues though? Because while I can easily see how having four-liners in the subtitles would get annoying very quickly, I don't quite see how this is deserving of such harsh words...

I don't have the DVDs, but I have heard people complaining about grammatical errors, typos, and timing being off. Apparently the streams fixed some of the problems, which... is kinda unfair, to say the least.

[dbboxkaifan]

The NEPs were half-assed too, in the sense that they didn't sub them all.

Please NVG stay away from Saint Seiya.

[Puto]

I would rather have raw unsubtitled previews than no previews at all (see: FUNi DB/Z/GT season sets).

[dbboxkaifan]

The bricks (+ Season Blu-rays) are a special case as they were targeted towards the American audience whom never experienced much of NEPs and would just skip to the next episode or do a marathon without even watching the OP/ED at all.

I can't name any other anime series that were released without their NEPs as all the ones I've bought had them intact.

FUNimation needs to do a proper DB/Z/GT release for the public that includes NEPs just like all the other anime series out there that have it (or most, when available).

Question, are credit-less opening & endings included in the extras of this or the previous box? If yes, are they uploaded on YouTube?
