FUNimation DBZ TV Blu-ray Official On-Going Thread

[Castor Troy]

No next episode previews?!

NO BUY FOR ME.



Bleh. I'll just wait for some kinda 2 pack set or whatever.

[Adamant]

no Japanese credits on the (wrong) opening

Other than erroneously having the movie 1 stamp on the logo, I'm pretty sure it's the right opening.

No it's the wrong one. It has the wrong animation. This is the movie opening not the TV version.

Wuh? The first movie and the first couple TV episodes used the same animation for the opening.

Really? You don't find those annoying on a disc set?

I heard that the Blu-rays picture quality by FUNimation was remastered to be closer to the quality that Toei had when they first aired DBZ on Fuji TV back in the day? Before the Dragon Box was released in R2. If that is the case, then it clearly looks like TOEI remastered DB to have different colors for a reason.

No.

The DBOX are the proper colours that was always a good thing about them.

Hey, you're right. All these years I thought the opening with the mountains instead of Gohan running on the Dragon was just for the movies. I actually went and looked it up on Kanzentai, I'm kinda embarrassed that I didn't know this. Well, then if it's just the production stamp... then I don't mind it so much. Sorry aobut that, Adamant and Puto.

Nope. They are not.

[DanielGClapp]

No, the colors just haven't been altered. They are not the original colors, since the masters from which they came got aged and it affected the color. That is why some skin tones look very pink etc.

[Kingdom Heartless]

The lack of next episode previews is a non-issue for me. I mean, I have the Dragon Boxes for that and the openings and stuff.

For all I care, they could just have the show itself... heck, I'd prefer just to be able to marathon it like you could on the Season Sets.

[DanielGClapp]

You can, that is an option on the blu-rays.

They only seem pink in some of the early episodes, but when the story reaches in further, the pink seems to not be there anymore. I personally like the pink, I think TOEI had it like that for a reason. It makes the experience more classical.

[DanielGClapp]

...I think TOEI had it like that for a reason. It makes the experience more classical.

So Toei deliberately aged their masters, thus altering the colors so it would look more "classical"?

What would have made the experience more "classical" is if the colors were exactly the same as when they first aired in Japan, if the Japanese audio was the same and not this muddy crap we have on the Dragon Boxes and if the NEP came before the credits. Now THAT would be amazing, since these are the major flaws with the Dragon Boxes.

I know that it wasn't present when it first aired in Japan, but even so. I still think it makes it classical. But I am not quite sure what you mean by "muddy crap"? And aren't these Blu-rays by FUNimation more "closer" to the original colorings than the Dragon Boxes?

[DanielGClapp]

...I am not quite sure what you mean by "muddy crap"?

This thread recently popped up comparing the DBox audio to original broadcast audio: http://daizex.fanboyreview.net/viewtopi ... =7&t=18506

You will definitely know what I mean by "muddy crap" after you watch the video.

And aren't these Blu-rays by FUNimation more "closer" to the original colorings than the Dragon Boxes?

I'm not sure about that. From what I've seen that might be the case!

Yeah now I know what you mean by "muddy crap". I heard that the audio is a bit better on the R2 Dragon boxes than the ones FUNimation released.

[penguintruth]

No Japanese title cards, no next episode previews, no Japanese credits on the (wrong) opening and (correct) closing.

Seems obvious who this new release is for. And I'm not one of those people.

[DBfan4life]

Since I already have completed my Dragon Box for my dream collection of DBZ. I might get some parts of these levels just in case if I want to watch it with Faulconer music to relive some childhood memories of Toonami.

So you post a meme image about being up late on the internet to point out someone was wrong to... try and point out I was wrong?

Wow, you certainly gave it to me. I'm in pain. It just... hurts so much 'single tear'

Oh wait... you're someone I don't know... so it doesn't really matter


Being posted at 5am (your time) technically that meme image would be hypocritical... if you were correct (might even be worse if you had just woken up... waking up and the first thing you do is go and check to see if you can try and do that.)

Your link says exactly what I said... that the guys comment on the audio not being lossless was correct. I just disagreed on it being 'outdated' and not counting as a proper player.


I'm also disappointed you haven't commented on me pointing out the flaws with how you would setup the bitrates/codecs for the Blu-rays. That effectively confirms that you don't know what you are talking about since you couldn't even make up a defense for those mistakes. But then you are a professional, you may just feel that if you tell the disk that it'll magically work in any player.



Back to the sets themselves...

Most of the problems people have had with the sets are this point are generally nitpicky. Which is a good thing. If the only complaints people have are the more nitpicky ones it means no one has nothing anything actually 'that bad' yet. Which means hooray! Good Blu-rays of DBZ!

If you can remember I said that it was the last time I was going to talk about it. The bit rates were fine and allowed compression to go up to 40mb. As for 4:3 and AAC in bd. Its not standard for blu ray but Yes it can be used. I use it all the time. AAC is most commonly found in MPEG-2 Blu rays. I will not talk about it any longer.
