I can rip the audio from the FUNi Season sets if someone wants to put them with different versions of the video's i.e. FUNi Singles, Dragon Box, Other Foreign stuff etc.

I actually have the Dub with Japanese music and the Original Japanese Track for Episode 95 ripped at super high quality. It's split into 12 files for each Version at 102 MB each. So together it's 204 MB with 24 MP3 files.

I actually like seeing all three compared. To me the FUNi Singles look like a very small crop and Fucked Up colors version of the DBox.

The thing that bothers me most about all of you is how blatently egomaniacal each "argument" is, and how asininely blind you are to the other side. I've yet to see a single post from someone not claiming that their situation, outlook, history, schedule, process, belief, etc. is the sole "correct" dogma.

Have we moved on, yet? Seriously? Why does this even have to continue to be an "argument"? Is it because there are new people coming in to the forum that just haven't been around for the same discussion every single week since the "Complete Vegeta Saga" was inadvertently announced in May 2006? I'm really just at a loss for words. You're doing everything and conducting yourselves in precisely every single way that could possibly go against what I want this forum to be.

Can I get an explanation? Please?

(Please note that I'm aware there are a couple posts genuinely interested in comparing just for the sake of comparing, with no hidden agenda behind any statements or requests. Unfortunately, they're completely clotheslined by every single other post being made.)

Your forum is full of assholes. On both "sides." When you moderate, you need to start focusing less on spelling and grammar, and more on common courtesy.

I don't really care about arguing which version is better. I'd rather have the comparison videos, and pic's do the talking, anyway.

I think the Dragonboxes are better, but I also want a fair ability to compare them, on their merits, hence my calling for accurate resolution screencaps.

I love how you say that like YOU aren't one of them.

(Just to clarify, I most definately am one of them.)

Ignore what I said before.

Okay, my actual opinion on the DBox vs. Remastered thing is pretty general.

Like most people I don't like widescreen and the Video is cropped too much. The colors I really don't mind. So for this one DBox wins this round.

What's not clicking? Some of us don't care about how pretty it looks. We care about episode content. If I had the choice to buy either a Season Set or the Dboxes, I'd pick the Season sets vecaue I'd rather pay 30 bucks for altered footage and episodes rather than 800-1600 bucks on correct looking footage and pretty colors.

Ok fine. :twisted: I'll post some new comparison pic's a bit later. I'd like to capture one particular scene from the season set's. I'm talking abou this one Image

Any idea what episode that's from?

This is a DRAGONBALL site/forum.

EVERYONE who argues AT ALL is an elitist in some form or manner, so don't act like you are oh so much better for pointing it out.

If you have to claim we are all elitist to help your point, then it just makes you look like a tool and us look assholes.

I'm not a mod but I have a feeling this thread should be closed now[soon]. It is getting way too out of hand.

Don't kill/flame me... Please...

Because you're acting like anyone who'd rather buy the season sets over the Dragon Box is a dumbass because the D-Box is apparantly the second coming and there's apparantl no justifiable reason not to buy it.

By all means I agree, it would actually help both sides points.


I'm far to lazy to find my season 1 box (only one I have) so someone else go do it.

Can you guys please learn how to JUST quote what you are responding to, not just quoting back and forth and getting quotes that make your posts 10 times larger then they should be?
