Too bad everyone else just saturates everything to death.
First time I've seen a video with "1080p Upscale", but the quality's still sucky.

There's one guy that uploads decent HD stuff, it's ImmaKrillin, but he sharpens up the videos unnecessarily to try and make them look better (they're from Kai).

I agree. Gohan's hair color looked gross. :(

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

It's just Season Set footage, after all. To pass that off as 4K, wow. :lol:

Make it 240p and we're golden.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Nah, that's Dragon Box footage, the Orange Bricks didn't include the NEPs.

Oh, I guess the 16:9 upscale fooled me. It thought it looked cropped, though.

I have to admit, I kind of like the brighter colors like that. They make it look more colorful that way. But in a way I'd rather just have normal coloring without all the sharpens and brightness fixes. ):
