Super Heroes Special Collection DVD Vol. 1 on CDJapan!

Post by sumpter360 » Fri May 25, 2012 3:11 am

I was browsing on CDJapan and spotted an interesting upcoming release.

It looks a lot like the DBZ Special Selection DVD (as far as packaging goes) and it will contain the first episodes of Dragon Ball, as well as five others shows, including Dr. Slump!

Not sure about which masters are being used (Dragon Box or otherwise), but this looks like it could be kind of a cool release. Plus, it specifies being Volume 01, so I wonder how the next volume will be, being the next episodes, or just first episodes of six more shows.

I just wanted to let everyone know, just in case this sells out quickly like the Special Selection and the Saikyo Jump issue. Needless to say, I placed my order! :D Pretty cheap too, at just $15 USD plus shipping.

That's pretty cool. And for $15.00, you can't beat that with a stick!

So, I got my DVD today. I actually didn't get it for DragonBall, although it didn't hurt my decision of getting this since I don't have the DB DragonBoxes.

The DVD is very basic and straight forward.

Image

The only "extra" is line drawings for all the shows on this DVD set to music (just like they did on that DBZ TV Special DVD). I didn't expect much for the price but hey, that's pretty cool.

Image

The disc and pamphlet...

Image

The back of the box is exactly the same as the back of the DVD. So if ya' wanna know what that looks like...

Image

And for those of you that can read Japanese, here's the DVD specifications zoomed in, just in case you wanted to know about that stuff...

Are there any subtitles on this release? I really doubt it, but it sure would be a nice surprise...

Probably a silly question, but is it the Dragon Box footage?

And, um... If it's ok, could you also post a screen or two from Hokuto no Ken, please? I know it's not related to Dragon Ball, but I really would like to see how it looks on this disc.

Yea. Well, it seems like it. I'm on the train now but I can put up a screen shot in like an hour.

Nope. Would be weird if they did. It'd be like if they put Japanese subtitles on a Batman the Animated Series DVD. :/

Anyway...it's unusual to see English subtitles..sometimes even subtitles in general on Japanese releases. However, there starting to put them of some films and such (japanese and English). Maybe one day the'll do that with the Dragonball series. Maybe when (if) it his Bluray in Japan?

I'm guessing by your "speak for yourself comment" you think I wouldn't want subtitles on a DB DVD from Japan. I would like this very much actually. I said "it would be weird" because it's not standard practice. Maybe I should have used a different word.

Toei had English subtitles when they streamed "Yo! Son Goku and Friends Return". So.... Yea.

That phrase as a response makes no sense in the context of the post you responded to... When was he speaking for anybody? He just stated that Japanese DVDs don't usually have English subtitles. That response would have been valid had he said something along the lines of "nobody wants English subtitles on a Japanese DVD".

Sorry for nitpicking, just really wanted to "correct" this, even if for future reference.

No clue. My entire Photobucket seems to be acting up.

Bandai Visual, Studio Ghibli (or Disney Japan?) and plus some other seem to have started adding English subs to Japanese BD/DVDs, so it's not weird, just unusual.

Eureka Seven AO BD to Have English Subs in Japan

Maybe Toei Animation will commence doing this someday.

Given the fact that it's still not the norm and those are merely exceptions, it's still pretty weird to expect subs to be included. Especially from this type of release and it being all Toei material.
If you're not here soon... GET ON!

While the Special Selection DVD does have the same coloring as the Dragon Box version, the framing is placed a bit differently...

Special Selection:

Dragon Box:

Special Selection:

Dragon Box:

It looks to me like the Dragon Box has a slight amount more picture, particularly at the bottom of the frame.

EDIT: Also, sadly, the Special Selection DVD is interlaced, as opposed to the Dragon Boxes being progressive. Though I haven't checked the other shows on the disc, so perhaps not all hope is lost?
