2.)Dragonball Dragon-box?
3.)Dragonball GT Dragon-box?
or will they try to revive the Blu-ray releases with a different remastering?
I'm hoping for number 2.
So what's next for Funimation?

So what's next for Funimation?
In your opinion, what do you think Funimation will try and release next?
1.)Dragon-box: The Movies?
2.)Dragonball Dragon-box?
3.)Dragonball GT Dragon-box?
or will they try to revive the Blu-ray releases with a different remastering?
I'm hoping for number 2.

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

Re: So what's next for Funimation?
Wait, there is a Dragon-box thing for Dragon Ball?
What are the benefits of it? If it's something substantial, I'd be all over it.

Re: So what's next for Funimation?
I'm hoping for number one. Personally I've only seen some of the movies via Double Feature, and those releases were definitely not to my liking in the video and audio departments.
So mondo lame.

Re: So what's next for Funimation?
Well, to be honest. DBZ was the one that needed a Dragon Box release here most of all. The benefit of a DB Dragon Box is that you would get the next episode previews and it wouldn't be as zoomed in as it was in the FUNimation blue bricks.Nikkolas wrote:Wait, there is a Dragon-box thing for Dragon Ball?

Re: So what's next for Funimation?
The picture quality for the Dragon Box is far far better. The blue bricks look pretty bad after ep13ish. I'm assuming Funi only did a new transfer for the first 13(?) episodes because they didn't have any existing uncut masters. The rest of the series is obviously based on ancient masters -- there's even rainbowing artifacts in some episodes.Tanooki Kuribo wrote:Well, to be honest.

Re: So what's next for Funimation?
I would really like to see the Dragon Ball Dragon Box. If they came out with that I would be drooling over it.

Well this is what the Japanese version looks like. If FUNimation releases one, I'm sure it'll emulate this look...ChahikoDBZ wrote:I would really like to see the Dragon Ball Dragon Box. If they came out with that I would be drooling over it.

Re: So what's next for Funimation?
As much as I'd like to see Dragon Box releases for the original series and GT, I don't see Funimation releasing them anytime soon since Z tends to be the more popular series. I think they might release Dragon Box: The Movies since they did say they have the masters for at least the 13 Z movies so that's something right there.
Re: So what's next for Funimation?
Believe it or not, the coloring is a bit better on the Blue Bricks than the Dragon Box on some episodes.csl002 wrote: The picture quality for the Dragon Box is far far better.

And then there's all the weird glitches during the Red Ribbon arc, the top frame being seen on the bottom.
And I'm very anal when some episodes are progressive one moment and interlaced the next and back and forth.
But, I do agree, the remastering was well done.

Also, I believe I heard that there are a few super bright episodes as well, like how a couple of Boo-arc episodes on the Z boxes are ridiculously bright.Krycek7o2 wrote:Believe it or not, the coloring is a bit better on the Blue Bricks than the Dragon Box on some episodes.

Remastered Sailor and the Seven Balls on DVD and Blu-Ray. Narrated by Sonny Strait.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Re: So what's next for Funimation?
Yes, there are some of those.

SNIP!
There's plenty of oddities here and there. The one that really bothers me is the progressive/interlace issues.
I know Z had some brightness and coloring issues. I really haven't seen anything major like that on the GT Set.
Though on Disc 5 of the GT set, when the series changes intro animations, half the animation is obviously not remastered and interlaced (and incredibly dark), but near the end the remastered footage kicks in.
It's kind of jarring.
Re: So what's next for Funimation?
I do prefer the colors of the blue bricks myself for the 13 remastered episodes -- but I'm assuming the Dragon Boxes are faithful to the film for better or worse.Krycek7o2 wrote:Believe it or not, the coloring is a bit better on the Blue Bricks than the Dragon Box on some episodes.csl002 wrote: The picture quality for the Dragon Box is far far better.

The frame glitches -- is it similar to how from ep1, some scenes are actually too far zoomed out? You can see the vignetting on the bottom of the frames in some scenes. I'm only at disc 3 of the Dragon Boxes so I haven't gotten to the RR arc yet.

Re: So what's next for Funimation?
No, it's not like that. It's actually the top of the frame appearing in the bottom frame. I'm guessing this was an error when it was telecined or something.csl002 wrote: I do prefer the colors of the blue bricks myself for the 13 remastered episodes -- but I'm assuming the Dragon Boxes are faithful to the film for better or worse.

I have to find the episodes, but I remember Kei17 posted about it a few months ago.

Re: So what's next for Funimation?
Somehow, I have a feeling that Funimation won't release anything of this sort, or at least not this (and maybe even next) year.

Re: So what's next for Funimation?
They did have a recent poll related to future DragonBox releases. I hope something comes of it maybe next year.

A Dragon Ball Dragon Box seems the most likely out of the three, since that's apparently when a new release for Dragon Ball is coming.Kendamu wrote:They did have a recent poll related to future DragonBox releases. I hope something comes of it maybe next year.

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!
