English Dragon Box Release

As I mentioned this to another user on the site, the Dragon Box intros also provide us with karaoke intros. Although miniscule, it's pretty sweet.

The disc space could go toward making the best encoding possible for the Japanese version with subs.
I vote for this as well! Besides, FUNi said this was not for the "casual" fan.

I never knew being a dub fan was being a casual fan.

Not as much as the Dead Zone. They're releasing the movies too.

I bet Mike is more excited about buying M1 again.

Keep it as IS, don't fuck it up. You said you didn't touch a thing so keep to your word! Just add subs and leave it alone!!!

Was referring to FUNimation. Any idea when this will go pre-order? Cause My debit card wants to give away some info right now.

I can see what you are saying but I have seen every American movies included with foreign languages and they still have good encoding.

Except that they're already packing the disks tighter than the original Dragon Box version, by one whole episode and at least one extra audio track that we know of. I'm not saying it's impossible to fit more audio tracks, but you do eventually get to a point where you are making sacrifices.

(Plus, most DVD movies have shit encoding.)

So adding extras will ruin the Dragon Box quality? i didn't know that...

Just be quiet and let us have English dub.

Yeah, I kind of feel that way.

And here, after I sold out and bought the damn Orange Bricks thinking this was it. And it looks like my theory was correct.

*sigh*

Here, Funimation. Just...just take my damn wallet AGAIN.

Y'know, I just sold out too. I was completely against buying the Orange Bricks because I own the whole English manga. I figured I didn't NEED the Orange Bricks and that I was happy with my manga, Steelbooks, & GT Bricks. Then I cracked when I heard of Dragon Ball Season 1. Today, I just bought the last 3 Orange Bricks I needed and decided to check good ol' Daizex to see what I've missed for a week.

"LOL Now that you've bought the DBZ Season Sets, here comes DBZ Dragon Boxes! LMAO" I mean that's good news but... Damn it.

Wait a minute, how does adding a dub=changing it? Adding subtitles is too, with your logic. They're not doing anything to the film masters, are they?

With Blu ray on the other hand... Hey, I can wish!

But yeah, I have experience with adding subtitles to the Dragon Box and the discs had about 200-300 megs free.

I think he meant the Bit rate problems some of us are worried about.

Subtitles will cost nothing to the film master, but adding 0.5GB of audio just for one language is going to kill it. A Dbox episodes is 2GB! 2.5GB can kill the picture.

There should be no transfer problems as we are NTSC!

That's opening up an economy-size can of worms.

I really don't see the need for Falcouner's track on the Dbox. I mean, they aren't discontinuing the bricks anytime soon, so just buy those if you really need the music...

Super Sonic · Post by **Super Sonic** » Sat Jul 18, 2009 10:07 pm

I don't think people got fleeced. Just company's making more money by re-releasing. Remember how many releases EVA got? Didn't hear complaints about that.

Got to say, don't think will pic this up, because I like the English language and got a lot of the series anyway via older dvds, vhs, etc. Not into duplicates, hence why YYH, only got the 2-discs of certain Dark Tournament eps.

Again, thinking your ignorance towards him refers to the message you sent me.

That's all I'm saying..

Wonder when the Amazon link will be up! And also, I'm selling some stuff for this, so PM me for details!

I'm pretty sure when they said "we're not changing a damn thing" they meant the film masters.

Ready Japanese fans? Charge!

In all seriousness if they add the English dub it's going to be the 5.1 surround sound version, they won't include the Faulconer tracks.
