It's a bit blurrier. Also, I vaguely recall some complaints about how it looks in motion, but I could be making that up.TonyTheTiger wrote:Seeing those screenshot comparisons, FUNi's singles don't look all that much different from the Dragon Box footage.

It probably doesn't come through in the screenshots, but some of Funimation's singles look like their masters were dipped into a box of sandpaper and magnets. The grain can get really bad in motion. There are also some really distracting instances of damage and macro blocking. I think most of the poorer footage is found at the beginning and end of the releases for some reason.TonyTheTiger wrote:Seeing those screenshot comparisons, FUNi's singles don't look all that much different from the Dragon Box footage.

I agree. While a Dragon Box release would be the only way I'd pick up a new release of GT, I think people are really setting themselves up for disappointment here. In the event that it is a Dragon Box release then it is, most definitely, awesome but FUNimation has done multiple repackagings of animé in the past. Fullmetal Alchemist, for example, with the four "Season X, Part Y" boxes simply including the discs and the books from the singles. I'm not sure if the "Complete Season X" releases are just the same with new slim case packaging, as I didn't see any reason to buy the sets when I already had the four previous boxes.VegettoEX wrote:I really think you're all reading far too much into this product listing... even though I'd love to be proven wrong...
It just doesn't make sense to me though, double packs of Dragon Ball Z orange bricks for sale in stores makes sense, for the causal customer to see it and think it's a good deal. But the people who buy off of Rightstuf.com are generally not casual Anime fans, and can probably figure out that if you add the two green bricks together, it's would be the same price as buying a double pack.Piccolo Daimaoh wrote:I don't know why everyone's thinking that just because FUNimation is releasing Z in Dragon Box format, they have to release the rest of the series in Dragon Box format. They went to all the trouble to release Z in Dragon Box format because that's most people's favourite portion of the series. Not enough people actually like GT to justify FUNimation releasing that portion of the series in Dragon Box format. The green boxes are still in stores and selling well, FUNimation doesn't want to risk losing money with the GT Dragon Boxes.
Besides, if this were a GT Dragon Box, wouldn't there be the words "Dragon Box" somewhere on that listing?
Maybe not. If they're trying to play up the "complete series" angle with this release, then that aspect might take priority in any labeling or advertising, even over the possibility that it's Dragon Box footage being used.Piccolo Daimaoh wrote:Besides, if this were a GT Dragon Box, wouldn't there be the words "Dragon Box" somewhere on that listing?
As been suggested before many times in this thread, it could be the two green bricks together in one box set.Kaboom wrote:

That doesn't explain the price discrepency. EX showed it's the same as the two sets combined, which isn't marketable as a complete series set (I don't see buyers going "OMG!!! 2 for the price of 2.003? What a saving!"). Meanwhile, there's also a substancial runtime discrepency that conveniently matches that of the DBox.Piccolo Daimaoh wrote:As been suggested before many times in this thread, it could be the two green bricks together in one box set.Kaboom wrote:

No, they said it was greater than the Season set runtime, while it was the same as the DBox runtime.Metalwario64 wrote:I thought everyone else was stating that the run-time was far greater or different than the Japanese GT box...Dayspring wrote:Meanwhile, there's also a substancial runtime discrepency that conveniently matches that of the DBox.
Ah, I see. The mass confusion of this thread makes it hard to keep track of things sometimes.jjgp1112 wrote:No, they said it was greater than the Season set runtime, while it was the same as the DBox runtime.
That is the same way the colored "Bricks" were introduced,MR.Mark wrote:A GT Dragon Box put out BEFORE a Dragon Ball one? I vomit in terror at the thought of such blasphemy.
