'Nother update. The rest of the films & specials were added on iTunes finally for purchase.

You know, you'd think since they released all those single volumes back in the late 90s/early 00's they could upload those as an option for 4:3.

My god...I am so sick of cropping.

I mean, if you're talking about the Z movies, those were specifically animated to be cropped to 16:9. Even Toei's official releases have them like that because that was the original intent of the films. The show, on the other hand, should've never been cropped, since that was never the original intent of Toei. It's meant to be in 4:3 because it was animated to be seen in that way. I hope if they put the shows on iTunes, they use the 4:3 Dragon Box masters that they have for Z, since those are vastly superior to their own remasters. The only release i'd say that's totally botched is DB Movie 2 having a halved framerate for some reason. FUNi has never corrected this error & I hope if they eventually release Toei's remasters of the films eventually that they get the remasters of the DB movies & address that issue.

Old thread, I know, but I was looking on FuninationNow and did not see the movies. Did they remove them?

Edit: Nvm. Was looking in the wrong place

I mean, I update it as I get new info, so old, but not forgotten.

Any idea as to when Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Z Kai and Dragon Ball Super will be released on iTunes? They've only listed all of the manga and films but the actual anime series is nowhere to be seen.

No. It seems they're doing it VERY slowly. I'm assuming that they prefer the Microsoft Store & Amazon to iTunes, as well as physical releases, but that also has to do with Toei as well, whom I'm assuming are the ones telling them WHERE they can upload & sell the things. They don't have One Piece anywhere digitally at all, so...Then again, Viz, who have a partnership with Warner Bros, do upload their stuff to iTunes, so I don't know.
