Dragon Ball Z "Seasons" On Blu-ray: News & Discussion

[dbboxkaifan]

They shouldn't be releasing the Season Blu-rays so quickly or else they'll be looking at another re-release of Dragon Ball Z again (probably around 2015).

With so many great anime gems out there it's a shame that FUNimation can't just release the definitive edition of DBZ (Dragon Box Z in fat-packs) and move on to those ones.

Discotek is doing is so FUNimation could do it too.

Funimation July releases:

No DBZ S6 . Then again this isn't final so fingers crossed.

And, of course, still no Evangelion 3.33.

Guys do the new blu-rays have the USA music track?

I allways like that one better.

Yes, they do have the dub with both the Faulconer/Menza soundtracks and the Kikuchi soundtrack.

Fixed that for you, but like Vegard Aune said MasterVampire the new Blu-ray sets have the dub with the english music as an audio option.

Saiyan arc - Nathan Johnson
Early Freeza arc - Nathan Johnson
Later Freeza arc - Faulconer Productions
Cell to Majin Boo arc - Faulconer Productions

The fans themselves of the US music for Dragon Ball Z don't even know who composed them, they just assume it was Faulconer Productions (more so Bruce Faulconer than the rest of the team) for everything.

I don't really consider that a big deal though. How many people go out of their way to figure out who composed a soundtrack for this or that? That'd be like me watching Tom & Jerry and wondering who did the music in the background haha some people just aren't worried about knowing that info.

[dbboxkaifan]

Dragon Ball Z has like three different musical scores (original, 1x Canadian, 1x American) so it's not sufficient to just say "US score" because this for example was composed by two composers and then the Ending by Mark Menza (I think), so that's three in total.

There's nothing wrong knowing and for fans of it being unaware doesn't really help them very much.

By the way, the quality of this YouTube "remastered" DBZ Season DVD video looks similar to the Season BDs done by a professional company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB45FE6y_wg

Rereleasing DBZ doesn't preclude them from releasing other stuff. If it still sells, that gives them the capital to release even more stuff.

[dbboxkaifan]

@Abed it isn't like they wouldn't have more Dragon Ball Z content to release on DVD there's still a lot that could receive an DVD treatment but it's been forgotten even by Toei Animation.

Like for example, the Summer Vacation Special and Gaiden Specials (Earth & Universe) these never got released on DVD which is a shame.

Both parts of Dragon Ball Z: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans was released with Dragon Box Z Vol. #2.

I don't see how that precludes them from being released. A reason the titles you mentioned might not be released is they don't think there's a market for it.

[dbboxkaifan]

But the market already has tons of Dragon Ball Z releases so everyone can pick their favourite it's true that they'll still make money with another re-release though that doesn't bring nothing new to the table.

[VHS] Cassettes
[DVD] Singles
[DVD] Ultimate Uncut Edition
[DVD] Orange Bricks
[DVD] Dragon Box Z
[BD] Level Blu-rays
[BD] Season Blu-rays

Rock the Dragon Edition (DVD) doesn't really count as a re-release (yeah it's episodes 1-53 + films 1-3 with film 3's edited TV dub) because it's more of a collection of its own as it shows itself to be.

3D Blu-ray release of DBZ is a waste because hardly anyone owns a 3DTV and it's becoming once again dead tech so if they do release Dragon Ball Z on Blu-ray it'll just be in its standard 1080p HD mode (2D).

...who the fuck said anything about a 3D release?

[RocktheDragon]

...who the fuck said anything about a 3D release?

I don't think anyone has seriously mentioned it, but the general idea has been postulated before.

It is a bad prediction though, 3D has gone by the wayside these last few years (both in theaters and in home media releases).

[Aoi]

I'm curious: After the Ginyu Force arrives, does the show revert to the original late 90s dub of DBZ (Season 3 of Orange bricks). Or has there been an attempt to re-dub it so that's it's similar to the quality seen in the remastered Saiyan arc/Buu arc?

With the exception of Vegeta, Ginyu (frog mode) and Dende I think the rest of the dub is unchanged in S3, which is shame since Sean's Goku sounds pretty weak(compared with S1&2), no Idea why FUNI didn't redub him.
Edit: Of course Krillin is re-dubed too. Also some other minor characters were re-dubbed too.

Sweet!

Where is the cheapest place to buy?
Amazon?
Oh Amazon isn't region free so it wont work in my Australian PS4

[theoriginalbilis]

If you have an Austrailian console, just wait for Madman to release the Blu-Ray Seasons over in that territory. I believe they've already announced that they'll be doing so soon.

[mikezilla2]

they are region A/B.
