I got the original, 4:3, Funimation, DVD release of "The Bardock Special" so I can finally watch it with proper subtitles

I have it along with History of Trunks as well, both in the original single releases as the others (Double Feature.etc) are the same cropped to 16:9 style as the series and obviously i wasn't going to settle for that crap.No9tro wrote: Mon Sep 23, 2019 12:41 pm I got the original, 4:3, Funimation, DVD release of "The Bardock Special" so I can finally watch it with proper subtitles

Got this in the last day or two on a pawn shop run, and so my PS3 collection of DB games is slowly but surely growing.

Does anyone know of any way to identify if they are real or not?

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
I'm just making sure. It's always a concern when buying from Ebay and not having them on store shelves to be able to really use that as a reference. But your comment really made me feel a lot better. Just making sure that I didn't waste money on a bootleg product.mute_proxy wrote: Tue Oct 22, 2019 5:00 amWhy are you questioning the legitimacy of these?

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
Level 1.2 from Madman.
Got a good deal on eBay and couldn't pass it up and I've realized, like many others that we probably won't be getting another good DBZ remaster for quite some time so why not track down the one Blu-Ray release Funimation did right.
Just need to find Level 1.1 for around the same price (less than €20 accounting for shipping) now.
Also, for the sake of diversity it's nice to have a Madman release now as I hadn't bought any previously and the ship has almost certainly sailed on Manga UK importing the Levels for release here.

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
Not my purchase, but when I came in to my office this morning, I found this on my desk with a Christmas card from my boss:
I think it will go well on my desk with the DBS Future Trunks plush I found at a Goodwill a while back.

Probably nothing. The problem with the Blu-ray is the center crop.

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
I don't have the Blu-ray. The only release I had before were the Danish DVD release which had terrible terrible subs that I think were based on the big green dubTylerman29 wrote: Tue Dec 17, 2019 7:35 pmWhat's wrong with the FUNi blu ray subtitles?No9tro wrote: Mon Sep 23, 2019 12:41 pm I got the original, 4:3, Funimation, DVD release of "The Bardock Special" so I can finally watch it with proper subtitles

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
It's not the subtitles that's the issue with the Double Feature BD and DVD release of Bardock (and History of Trunks) but rather the same style of fake widescreen center cropping as done with the Orange Bricks seeing as this came out while the latter was still in the process being released. As with the show, the two specials are meant to be presented in 4:3 no exceptions and cutting off about 20-25% of the image just butchers the animator's and staff's specifically intended designs for television broadcast.Tylerman29 wrote: Tue Dec 17, 2019 7:35 pmWhat's wrong with the FUNi blu ray subtitles?No9tro wrote: Mon Sep 23, 2019 12:41 pm I got the original, 4:3, Funimation, DVD release of "The Bardock Special" so I can finally watch it with proper subtitles

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
I just ordered on Bluray the last part of Super so that'll be good to have that finished up until they release more if they ever do.
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Too bad these are censored, or I would have collected the rest after the first volume.TheGreatness25 wrote: Mon Oct 21, 2019 8:16 pm Got these in the mail today.

Yeah, the censorship sucks. BUT, having these is a great way to document the different releases. Always thinking of the bright side lol

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
Exactly my line of thinking. Honestly, I'd love to pick up those remasters, they look beautiful for the most part and have awesome covers but will probably wait for a western release (preferably from Manga UK now that they are owned by Funimation).TheGreatness25 wrote: Wed Jan 15, 2020 10:11 pm Yeah, the censorship sucks.

Re: What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?
Nothing especially interesting, but we picked up the final Super release this week.

It's nice having several complete runs on the Dragon Ball shelf. A few gaps remain, but it's a decent little "shrine" I think.
