Can you belive at one point that was the only version we had in America.

Yeah... but, the dub made up for it.

I must say I like Season 1 quality over the Dragonbox. The 1 dot in the sky as pointed out in page 1 doesnt bother me at all its these errors that just suck.

I'd take a fullscreen non-remastered uncropped grainy release over a smooth and remastered cropped release.

Well yeah. Those are the only other releases with english subs in full screen. In terms of my preferences, the only other choice would be the DragonBox singles which... aren't exactly your-average-fan-friendly in terms of money.

I don't necessarily mean those as they were way too expensive for three episodes.

I mean, if they just took some non-remastered 4:3 DBZ in Japanese and threw 39 episodes of it out there on a DVD set for about $15 or $20 I'd buy that without hesitation.

If that is the only choice, then I'd agree.

You know what really brought things home....

So they wanna do an image on the side like the old VHS tapes to make a picture. Cool. But what good is it going to do if this image is under the slipcover?

Maybe they think we'll just trash the slip covers and throw them away. So if you're the kind of person who does that anyway, I suppose it's not much of an issue...

That does cause a problem, does it have velcro or something to hold itself closed without the slipcover?

those season 1 images are fantastic imo.

the dragonbox does not win in terms of the grain war etc.

the dragonbox has allways been great, but its allways been a bit of a dull picture, like its got a shade of blue over it making it dimm.

the season 1 has defeated this, making the colours smooth, and the picture alive without over saturating or changing the colours much atall.

and that guy in the season 1 featurette said he tried to make the colours how he thought the artist would have wanted them.

the sky is never green, not even when its sun set.

i prefer the season 1, its just a shame its cropped.

This is complete speculation but it'd be cool if they did what the Lord of the Rings Extended Editions did, which was after you bought all three, you could send away for a display box to put them all in. I could see that happening with this, just really long.

Saiyan Combat · Post by **Saiyan Combat** » Sat Feb 03, 2007 7:03 am

i suppose you could just take the slip covers off and put them away.

and put them all together.

since they all have the same covers without the slip cover.

Tanooki Kuribo · Post by **Tanooki Kuribo** » Sat Feb 03, 2007 10:03 am

Maybe after all the volumes are out FUNimation is going to release an empty box so you can put all the volumes in without the slipcase, forming a picture.

Saiyan Combat · Post by **Saiyan Combat** » Sat Feb 03, 2007 10:17 am

yeh that would be cool

can some one upload the ending area of the episode "goku strikes back", from where goku and vegeta land, talk, and begin the fight to the end of the episode?

even if its in parts on you tube.

id really apreciate it..

Hope you're prepared for a lot of them, because I don't exaggerate when I say they pop up every few seconds. It's very distracting.

Yeah, the Pioneer discs were horrible. A lot can be attributed to the low bitrates and the fact that color saturations and so forth were manipulated.

I'm not ridiculing/criticizing any of you. But why did you complain about the set, knowing fully well what it was going to be like and then buy it? Only to complain even more. You're just giving Funimation more money.

And in all honesty, everyone is looking for flaws with the release with a fine tooth comb.

Well I know that MajinVejita said his reason for buying it was to watch it for himself to be able to do an accurate review of it and point out the problems with them. I believe he said that he was going to give the set away after.

Amusingly, the level of detail is still better in the Pioneer DVD shot. Look at the shadowy part on Kami's arm - on the Pioneer DVD there are lots of individual lines, but on the season 1 DVD there's just a blurry smudge. A clear example of the negative effects of FUNi's DVNR.
