The Dragon Box masters were remastered frame-by-frame by Pony Canyon.

I am a little scared from that. I read that over at ANN. Come con FUNI don't fuck this set up! I swear!

Though, I'm betting they are talking about the Pony Canyon work.

They won't. Pony Canyon already did all of the restoration a long time ago.

Like a bunch of others here, I bought every single orange brick assuming it would be Funimation's final attempt at releasing Z on DVD before Blu-Ray.

Ugh, man, I really don't want to buy this series AGAIN. I might get the first and second sets if only because the quality on the Season 1 and Season 2 sets is completely abysmal.

What the motherfucking fuck is this FUCK!?

Jesus Christ what can I say about this? I'd better sell my orange bricks and fast. I hope that FUNimation keeps selling these for a while. I don't have the funds to pay for this now. And they'd better release the original and GT. I do NOT want to waste $200+ on Dragon Ball Z if I can't have the same for my favorite portion of the series. You hear me FUNimation? I know you listen. I know you do.

Oh my god. This is going to take some planning, but they will be mine... Oh yes... They will be mine.

Am I pissed that I bought the orange bricks only to find this? A little, yes. But I think my excitement of a top-quality, end-all, consistent release is too strong.

Kunzait and Shinobi's posts are making me die from laughter.

This definitive DVD box release begins with Dragon Box One which includes the first 42 episodes, uncut, on 6 discs.

The Dragon Box releases will feature an aspect ratio of 4:3, the original Japanese audio (with options for an English track or English subtitles), the original episode previews, complete opening and closing credits and a collector's booklet.
So we do have confirmed English dialog. but 42 episodes on 6 discs? hmm...

That's exactly the same as the originals.

Originals = 6 episodes
FUNi = 7 episodes

But like I said in an earlier post, technology has changed since 2003, so hopefully it's be ok.

I've got the bricks, but you will certainly not hear me complain about spending more money. Funi didn't haye this footage before. I'm just happy we're getting this.

Too bad we're not gonna see a podcast about this for a while.

The Galactic Tyrant · Post by **The Galactic Tyrant** » Sat Jul 18, 2009 3:19 pm

I'm just glad i didn't spend any money on the bricks.

Sucks for some of you, I'm sure you could still sell them for a good price though.

I honestly thought it wouldn't get any better than the Season Sets. I was delusional enough to think they wouldn't do it again. But now that they have! I'm actually happy about it. How on earth does a company get you to spend money on something then make you happy that you're going to spend money on the exact same goddamn thing?

I need more information. When? How much? How long?

And Funi has since gotten better with encoding. The first 3 discs of Season 9 are 7 episodes and they look great.

No, the originals are 6 eps to a disc, not 7. Plus, we have multiple audio tracks. If this is all true, its likely the R2 releases will still have higher bitrates. But I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference too much if the encoding is done well.

Personally, I feel like I've wasted a good chunk of money, but I'm betting if these sell well (and its likely they will) we will see BluRay releases from it. That's what I'm hoping for. BluRay DBox footage would completely rule (and its the only thing left I'd shell money out for now).
