Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

Re: Do you think TOEI will ever consider doing a restoration
If they will do anything, I can't believe there will be enough fans after all these failures and atempts.
Only release you can get currently in full are Season sets and Dragon Box is out of print.
Out of Dragon Box, which was missing it's extras, Funimation never put out flawless release (Viz neither),
so after killing off the market with these miscarriages, maybe core fans from kanzenshuu will want to buy something again?

Call back when remastering film prints at 1080p for five hundred eight episodes, multiple television specials, and seventeen films doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Re: Do you think TOEI will ever consider doing a restoration
That's just not how the industry works. If they're going to pay top-dollar to make something they are going to expect fans to return in kind.AnimeMaakuo wrote:FUNimation seemed to have no problem releasing their remaster for a cheap price, so why can't TOEI?

Re: Do you think TOEI will ever consider doing a restoration
Maybe I'm setting the bar low, but DBZ is never going to look great. It's a poorly animated TV series from the late eighties to mid nineties by a cheap animation studio. Just enjoy the Dragon Boxes.

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: Do you think TOEI will ever consider doing a restoration
Maybe for the films, but I doubt they can do it for the whole show. Just too many episodes to handle.

Well, if by "seemed to have no problem" you mean "had to embarrassingly cancel the project six months after first announcing it"... well... sure?AnimeMaakuo wrote:FUNimation seemed to have no problem releasing their remaster for a cheap price, so why can't TOEI?

Re: Do you think TOEI will ever consider doing a restoration
If we do get the movies on Blu-Ray in Japan then we could finally get better Blu-Ray releases here in the US. I remember hearing that the Funi Blu-Rays were hit or miss. I on;y saw the Blu-Ray of the Coola movies and I thought they looked pretty good. I do remember the Movie 8 & 10 Blu-Ray came out in 2007 was a bad DVD upscale from what I've been told.

Re: Do you think TOEI will ever consider doing a restoration
Do we really need another rerelease of this show? If you want Dragon Ball Z in HD, you have Kai for your viewing pleasure. If you want to watch the full, unabridged show without any changes, you have the Dragon Box.

Re: Do you think TOEI will ever consider doing a restoration
But well, DBZ in HD would look crystal clear and very detailed like FUNimation's DBZ Level sets for example.penguintruth wrote:Maybe I'm setting the bar low, but DBZ is never going to look great.

If this were true, they wouldn't have paused/cancelled the DBZ Level sets collection. The PQ in DBZ Level sets is far superior and cleaner than Dragon Box's Z edition. Too bad there's no Japanese credits or NEPs, or clean Japanese audio broadcast.AnimeMaakuo wrote:FUNimation seemed to have no problem releasing their remaster for a cheap price, so why can't TOEI?
Kai's picture quality for Mecha Freeza arc, Android arc and Cell arc looks awful at times, more bad than good, which was also one of the reasons I dislike the later Kai (though I really enjoy Kai from Saiyan to Freeza arcs).djkalteraphine wrote:Do we really need another rerelease of this show?

Re: Do you think TOEI will ever consider doing a restoration
I would be quite happy if they scrapped Kai and reanimated Z and made the story closer to the manga.

Re: Do you think TOEI will ever consider doing a restoration
Yeah, I've got the comic on my shelf. Lest you're going to give the show a real, big budget like Hagane no Renkinjutsushi: Fullmetal Alchemist with talented animators and directors there's really no point to do an exact retelling of the comic's story.Sin wrote:I still think you'd get people wanting the Z they know and love on a HD format.TheMightyOzaru wrote:I would be quite happy if they scrapped Kai and reanimated Z and made the story closer to the manga.

Re: Do you think TOEI will ever consider doing a restoration
If they would do the anime story they should at least cut the bull shit such as Goku's statement about Kid Buy being the strongest Buu when the Manga clearly states otherwise.

Re: Do you think TOEI will ever consider doing a restoration
But with FMA it was under quite special circumstances, I just don't think they'd feel a need to retell it all for the sake of some new animation. I think I'd rather see the animation put into new content for the franchise.JulieYBM wrote:Yeah, I've got the comic on my shelf.

I wouldn't mind if Toei did some OVA specials such as what the Hellsing Ultimate OVA's accomplished.

Dragon Ball Kai uses DBZ's animation but it's been chopped, rushed, badly remastered and uses inappropriate music for a series that's supposed to be modern and cinematic.
