Just wondering why the correct-colored version is lacking the dub as that almost never happens with UK releases of anime, is it just Funimation being jerks for no reason or is it Toei calling the shots?

Also, does anyone know if there is a fan-remaster out there that has the correct-colored version with the film with the English dub audio? Cause that would be really cool if that existed, as is both versions of the film are flawed in some way and it would be nice to have that perfect version.

The Manga UK Blurays have the English dub without the green tint.

Strangely enough it's only the Netflix version that is sub only. As stated previously Manga UK's Blu-Rays indeed have both audio tracks (Another reason to support physical media :wink: ). Funimation had no part in this, because Manga UK went the extra mile to use an authoring house rather than importing Funi's version.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:

Speaking for myself, I went with Manga UK's version and also purchased a region free Blu-Ray player. No regrets.

I'm not giving Funimation a dime for substandard work, no matter whose fault it is (even though Manga UK is currently a subsidiary, I believe).
