FUNimation DBZ TV Blu-ray Official On-Going Thread

[BlazingFiddlesticks]

If it weren't for Kajtokun it wouldn't be a meme in the first place. He definitely deserves credit.

I guess. But, it doesn't take that much creativity to take an overacted scene and place it randomly in between other random clips. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve any credit, but he's not some comedy genius here.

It's just such an absurd story about the of the power of the internet, even more than Kaj- I've probably misdirected too much of my amazement with that to Kaj himself, I'll apologize for it.

One guy made a random video (In a now faux-classic series that its creator describes as "Random Batshit") with no enduring value beyond a couple quick laughs that blow into something so big that Chris Sabat is being tormented over five years later about a line he didn't popularize by fans who probably don't even know the screen name of the original author. Its so wrong its astounding.

When future products from legitimate companies responsible for the well-being of the franchise bank on it for their own marketing.

Speaking of, I won't deny that FUNi are great marketers for including it in their advertising.

I was going to say, I was expecting to roll my eyes at the impending 9000 joke, so the echo faux-surround was a nice surprise.

[Choujin Daizenshuu]

You would have thought the meme would've been retired after TeamFourStar made fun of it by having Vegeta say "9001!" *CRUNCH*.

[Perfect]

I don't mind the 9000 stuff. It keeps people talking about the series around where I'm at, and that's good enough for me.

[Zestanor]

I don't think "Over 9000" is funny on its own... But Oprah 9000 is hilarious, simply because she got trolled. I think bashing on "9000" has become a meme of its own, and it annoys me. Leave it alone, let it die if you don't like it. That's not directed at anyone, since most vocal people here have that opinion. I also don't like it when people's reason for bashing it is because "Well it was actually 'Over 8000!'" Who cares?
And with "Leave Britney Alone," It was funny twice for me. It was funny the first time I saw it (but not laugh out loud funny) because it was so over exaggerated. Then it was funny again (laugh out loud funny) when I learned he was a guy. Is that mean? Sorry.

[Ashura]

Let people have their fun, I say. I know there are memes and 'net slang I don't particularly like, but that doesn't mean other people don't like it.

Exactly! From time to time, even the more stupid memes are hilarious!



So, going back to the discussion about the Blu-rays. I finally got the first "Level" and I'm actually quite impressed. I just hope I can get my friends to buy me these sets as occasional gifts, I'm still not fully on board with re-buying the series one more time. Though, I really hope they somehow go back and make a set similar to this for the other two series. Well, I can hope!

[Corpsecreate]

I noticed some strange things today on episode 1 and 2.

On Episode 1 the scene with Raditz's space pod passing a sun planet thing, the screen shakes left to right. This doesnt happen on the Dragon Box.

On Episode 2, the first half of the episode has weird scene changes where the screen kind of jumps. It's nothing to be concerned about its just a small little thing I noticed.

[Craddle]

I wasn't sure if everyone saw this on FUNi's site or not so, I'll just leave this here.



Edit: It looks a hundred times better if you view it from the source.

[Pokewhiz7]

Meh, highly compressed JPEGS; aren't worth much other than color comparisons.

[DBZGTKOSDH]

I wouldn't trust comparisond by the producers. Look what Toei showed us about Kai:


Now, look what we got:

[jjgp1112]

You're being paranoid. FUNi's screenshots are directly from the DVD screencaps. people here even confirmed it, and the colors seem to fall in line with them anyway. They're not even kind to the Orange Bricks, anyway.

[Pokewhiz7]

Notice how the BDs and Dragon Boxes have bars on the left and right but the orange bricks have them on all four side.

[Levlik]

In any case, the payment for 1.2 just went through from Right Stuf, so it should be shipping soon!

Sweet, tell us who's on the insert card!

Schemmel, most likely.

Wow, relax, I'm not paranoid. I'm just... cautious.

The Blu-rays of Kai were certainly an improvement over the Dragon Box, so yeah, KAI > DBBOX > LEVELS.

[Pokewhiz7]

I think, Levels > DBoxes > Kai. Kai is blurry as shit; I honestly can't believe some people are saying that if they want DBZ in HD, they'll get Kai. The Dragon Boxes look great, but the Levels are sharper, have better colors, and show more image area.

[Gonstead]

^^Agreed, plus the look of Kai just looks really artificial, especially in parts around the Saiyan and Frieza Saga's

Actualy, I'm not comparing Kai with DBox and LVs. I was showing that the companies may lie to you in their comparisons. The first comparison was from Toei. The second was from Kanzentai. Both of them were comparing DBox and Kai. But Toei wasn't showing the true footage from Kai.
