The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Some serious cropping going on in the dragon box, more than the double features. Singles image quality is not as good but some sharpness, brightness, contrast etc adjustments and you get most of the detail back. I hate cropping.

I'll upload some shots from Wrath of the Dragon. But at the moment a-lot of my anime is boxed up so I'll just get the shots and if someone wants to compare them to other releases of wrath of the dragon they can.

For once the Singles' and Double Features' look fantastic.

samuraix123, those screens are small and the picture quality doesn't even look good, imo. An easy target to make the Singles' and Double Features' look like they're better.

They don't look bad to me? then again I don't compare these shots all the time, So I apologize, and the only people that are going to say that the singles/double features look better are the losers on Youtube who believe the new Episode of Bardock is ''Hoshi'' But I respect your opinion, & thanks for the heads up! next time I'll try to remember to make the images more big.

Movie 13 to me, doesn't look all that great on the Dragon Box release. Movie 12 fares better and they are both on the same disc. Though movie 12 is a bit larger in size than 13.

The Double feature would look decent in that shot if it weren't for the excessive blue RGB levels making his skin lavender.

They were animated so that they wouldn't look bad when cropped. Either way is your own personal preference, though I prefer widescreen.
And Samuraix, those shots are both JPEGs and in the wrong resolution, so they're not good for this type of thing.

Okay! So what Format should I use besides JPEG? I'll delete the photo's right now.
