They were great but its a pity about the green tint. Is there someone with a poorly calibrated monitor at Toei or something?

No, that is a difference in word definitions. It doesn't even make sense to the discussion anyway, it's not like Japan has blue-tinted glass/plastic on their TVs.Trachta10 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 9:14 pmDoes it have something to do with the fact that the traffic lights in Japan are BLUE instead of green?KBABZ wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 4:10 pmThe green tint is for it to look correct on Japanese televisions.

That's not it. According to my sources, the suits at Toei are such huge Piccolo and Cell fans that everything with DB has to have green in it. One source told me that there are massive Piccolo and Cell statues in their meeting rooms.

I can confirm. I would show the paperwork myself confirming it, but saying even this much puts me at risk of having Toei's lawyers knock at my door.Matches Malone wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 1:29 amThat's not it.

My sources told me it was because of a stranglehold enforced by the CEO of the Big Green dub that Toei have to bow down to lest they tarnish DBZ with that dub by releasing it again.ArmenianPepsi wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 1:40 amI can confirm.

Re: Dragon Ball Movies HD Remaster - Amazon Video/Netflix Japan - Discussion Thread
Sorry but that is just complete nonsense.
Just think about it - according to you every R2 DVD and Japanese region A Blu-Ray has a green tint.
Spoiler:
It's a problem in Toei's production pipeline - I think Robo4900 and Ajay pretty much hit the nail on the head:

Other companies such as MangaUK were sent the home video master, which runs at 23.976...fps, and didn't have the process applied that shifted the thing green.
Re: Dragon Ball Movies HD Remaster - Amazon Video/Netflix Japan - Discussion Thread
To compound all of that, FUNi's master apparently had the green tint in the movie theater, meaning they reused it for home media. On top of that, that doesn't account for the fact that the movies were put on Amazon Japan, or that Kai: TFC was initially made for INTERNATIONAL AIRINGS before being aired in Japan when Toei needed something quick to replace Toriko.

Re: Dragon Ball Movies HD Remaster - Amazon Video/Netflix Japan - Discussion Thread
Green tint is theater gradation, i think if i correctly remember Ajay told it once cause it's that was answered by Funimation or something like that
it also explain why the Toei remastered movies also have green tint on them
Green tint is not something you can see only in DB, most movies nowadays have this green gradation deliberately

So any plans for home video in the US ?
Re: Dragon Ball Movies HD Remaster - Amazon Video/Netflix Japan - Discussion Thread
All I said was that the green-tinted release was 24fps, which is what cinema projectors run at compared to the regular 23.976fps found on home video. I was explaining why two versions exist, not why one is green. That is still a mystery.HakkaiBills93 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 12:22 pm Green tint is theater gradation, i think if i correctly remember Ajay told it once cause it's that was answered by Funimation or something like that

Also your last point is just colour grading which is an independent and irrelevant subject.

i mean that now we have 4k rerelease of movies, lot have green tint too and that's not deliberate as it wasn't back in time
firsts harry potter movies also turn to green where bluray wasn't
star wars movies also turns green , i mean that i don't think it's something random that when you take into consideration that actual movies have a green color gradation, that old things when rereleased also turn green , french movies also have green tint like an asterix movies
where you can see several screenshot there green tinted https://www.dvdfr.com/dvd/c162942-12-tr ... terix.html
so i totally don't think that this "green" isn't deliberate
as much dbox i know it's not deliberate cause you have sometimes "red" sometimes "yellow" sometimes "blue" sometimes "green" but now it's all green and allways green
another example : there was recently a samurai troopers HD remaster , i figured that it also turn to have hue alteration to look green (it's not unproperly balanced cause white are white) but hue have been altered to turn more toward green than the usual blue
if you watch raw bluray, sky turn toward green
only by a hue correction (white are already white)
you get back the blue sky
what make me noticed that is that one of the troopers in old footage and most artwork have bluish hair where it turn to green in the remaster and only the remaster, grey also turn more towards green by checking white balance, i didn't see anything wrong so i only did a hue shift and everything turned like it was on the old artwork
SO i think that it can and i am pretty sure it is, can be perfectly deliberate color grading
curiously Dragon Quest DaÏ done by Toei are perfectly graded and match the old vhs recordings unlike samurai troopers one

You're speaking as if color grading is just something that's unintelligibly doled out at random.

Re: Dragon Ball Movies HD Remaster - Amazon Video/Netflix Japan - Discussion Thread
When it comes to color grading, it's something that's done because of TVs of the time the material is made, yes, but it shouldn't be done to the extreme that Toei does the green tints. For instance, if you watch the original 480i SD masters of Star Trek TNG from the 80s & 90s, the majority of the episodes, especially early on, hare heavily pink &/or yellow-skewed. I remember that from when I watched the show on Netflix 10 years ago. The HD remaster CBS did from 2011-2014 have a warmer, mostly normal color pallet, though some episodes, like Elementary, Dear Data, have a heavy blue skew to the colors. Hell, Star Trek Into Darkness also has a blue skew to the colors in that movie. One of the BRs put out for The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly, I believe, also had an ugly yellow tint, which the studio claimed was the director's original vision, despite it not being in any master beforehand, which they then corrected in a later BR.
And, the Pokemon Blu-Ray set of the first season had a blue tint added to the episodes to make them look HD. Hell, the old Death Note DVDs also have a yellow skew to the colors, but the 2015 BRs corrected for that. The Sailor Moon BRs & DVDs put out by Viz Media are also skewed more red & yellow than they should be, on top of the colors being over-saturated. I believe this was also a problem with the old Cowboy Bebop DVDs that they corrected when they remastered it in HD.
Overly blue tints are often annoying, but more tolerable than green, red, or yellow, in my observation at least.

Re: Dragon Ball Movies HD Remaster - Amazon Video/Netflix Japan - Discussion Thread
absolutely not, i just explained that the green tint is probably deliberate or caused by the remastered process
because if Ajay didn't linked that where you could have red tint, yellow tint, bluish tint before, now lot of anime remaster are green and only green (dbz movies, kimagure orange road, nadia and the blue water secret etc) and strangely most movies that are released in theater use green gradation like if actual taste was to make everything green (even french movies that are released with this kind of green)
here a promotionnal photo from the movie not tinted
here in the movie
so i totally can't trust that it's irrelevant to link green gradation to the everything green in actual remastering of old show, movies, anime

Re: Dragon Ball Movies HD Remaster - Amazon Video/Netflix Japan - Discussion Thread
Can confirm, I saw super broly in theaters, i wondered why they went with a weird green art style, then i saw the UK master and just got even more confused. I mean yeah why would anyone be surprised toei only sent funi 1 master and expected them to use it for everything, but the issue is that toei cursed the master they sent out to not just funi but even other distributors. they never let us have nice things without working for itScsigs wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 5:15 pm

Re: Dragon Ball Movies HD Remaster - Amazon Video/Netflix Japan - Discussion Thread
Pretty much this. There's a massive difference between the depth of the work that goes into a professional colour grade vs the bizarro tints found on these iffy remasters.

Re: Dragon Ball Movies HD Remaster - Amazon Video/Netflix Japan - Discussion Thread
you don't take the point but if you can't explain why all thoses remaster have green tint for all of them , how can you reject theory that they color graded to green thoses remaster? you can't reject any theory if you don't even know the truth about it.
as you know more than me how color degrade, it should not degrade all in the same directions but here all thoses remaster goes into the same direction that strangely is toward the same colors as actual color grading awful taste
The samurai troopers was to show that it was color graded toward green deliberately cause it's not a random tint, it's white balance so it's a gradation not a degradation SO thoses dbz movies can perfectly have been graded toward green for whatever reason . i wanted to show that "Anime" aren't exceptions , as an example the exact same settings allowed me to correct 100% of the show without any kind of splitting so it's an evidence that it's deliberate, more than that, for this show it's not even the original intended colors as cels , artwork etc don't shared the same colors.
when a film print degrade it became randomly depending some conditions red, yellow or blue or some mixed colors like green, orange etc, but here thoses remasters are green allways green meaning it cannot be be explained by "degradation" but it's related to calibration or grading (if you check Toei movies bd and web dll , they don't even have exactly the same colors so you can't say that BD colors wasn't a deliberate choice instead of how the footage is looking now) , and taking into consideration that professionnel grading nowadays mostly use green gradation is for me everything except a random fact .
If you can't connect thoses situations between them SO
explain me why old remaster have the same tint as the actual taste in color grading ?
it's only logical.
if you can't explain but keep rejecting my theory then it's useless to argument anymore cause it will be more an "ego" matter than anything else. I know you are a famous well known people into the db fandom and i myself is really impressed by what you know about production but it doesn't mean that you are allways right and in that situation, your arguments are nonsence to me

Re: Dragon Ball Movies HD Remaster - Amazon Video/Netflix Japan - Discussion Thread
ah and i forgot: How can you say if actually a green tinted movie was deliberately graded green or that something in the mastering process, turn it green? as an example for the french movie photo i shown, why colors are green tinted (white are green) in the movie but not in everything else?
how can you know that green tinted star wars episode 9 (white point are green) are deliberately professionnaly graded green?
you litteraly don't know what happen so how can you know what it cannot be? mostly with similar results?
