Re: Manga UK Announce DBZ Battle of Gods DVD/Bluray release
Er, before I get to the screenshots it seems like this release ONLY has DD 2.0 for the Japanese audio (for both versions) and the English dub gets DTS 5.1... the fuck Manga UK...
UKAnimeNetwork has uploaded a video showing what the Blu-ray version contains, and here's screenshots (YouTube link at the bottom if you want to watch him talk).

This Collector's Edition just keeps on disappointing me.
But at least the menu looks better than FUNimation's.

Re: Manga UK Announce DBZ Battle of Gods DVD/Bluray release
FUNi's menus look like they were taken from the Season BDs but honestly I don't care about that so much as due to the fact it only has Japanese DD 2.0 and now I'm pondering to cancel my pre-order...

That menu isn't very nice. I prefer the simplistic one Funimation went for to be honest.
Oh well, excited to get it on Monday regardless!

God, that menu is a piece of shit. Are we still in the 90s?!

Re: Manga UK Announce DBZ Battle of Gods DVD/Bluray release
This release has been one disappointment after another. Japanese 2.0 only? Shitty menu? Awful theatre run? No thanks. The FUNi bluray is region B too? Seems like I'll be importing that.

It's Region A-locked. You'll need a region free Blu-ray (or Region A) if you want to watch it.thomas1up wrote:This release has been one disappointment after another. Japanese 2.0 only? Shitty menu? Awful theatre run? No thanks. The FUNi bluray is region B too? Seems like I'll be importing that.

Nope they locked it, presuming to stop people importing itthomas1up wrote:This release has been one disappointment after another. Japanese 2.0 only? Shitty menu? Awful theatre run? No thanks. The FUNi bluray is region B too? Seems like I'll be importing that.
It will cost the same to import so I might as well stick with it. At least we get art cards...
Edit:
Seeing that menu is motion... holy fucking shit that is... terrible.

Re: Manga UK Announce DBZ Battle of Gods DVD/Bluray release
Yep. If it weren't for the region locking I'd order FUNimation's Blu-ray instead but since I don't have an RF Blu-ray Player I'm not going to. Guess I'll just wait for this embarrassing release to drop down to £10 (I don't really care how long it takes as I'm not in a rush to get it any more).Baggie_Saiyan wrote:Nope they locked it, presuming to stop people importing it.

Re: Manga UK Announce DBZ Battle of Gods DVD/Bluray release
That menu is certainly...interesting. It's almost comical in motion.
I have to wonder if this'll also be on the Madman release, considering how things have gone with Manga UK's previous DB products. Although Madman's isn't even out yet and their Blu-Rays tend to be exactly the same as FUNimation's.

So, uh, back on topic... Once somebody has this thing in their hands, is anyone willing to compare it to the North American release?

Re: Manga UK Announce DBZ Battle of Gods DVD/Bluray release
I've been thinking and remembered that Manga UK with things like cards they're sorta in a limited print so those who intend on getting later might end up only purchasing the slipcover + Blu-ray with 2 discs, because I remember reading comments about people complaining that their Yu-Gi-Oh Blu-ray didn't have the card which was advertised, this and the later prints of Soul Eater didn't have a slipcover neither. They're always trying to cut corners as if they weren't already.
Guess so because Manga UK just tends to reuse what's already done and just add their logo to the intro of the BD/DVD (unless there's an exception on such release).DragonBoxZTheMovies wrote:I have to wonder if this'll also be on the Madman release, considering how things have gone with Manga UK's previous DB products.

Re: Manga UK Announce DBZ Battle of Gods DVD/Bluray release
I really hope that 'Japanese 2.0' is a typo based on the fact that the Extended version is in stereo, and that the Theatrical version is actually in 5.1, which wouldn't surprise me given Manga's track record. The animation and the way that menu is laid out is stupid though, it makes no sense to have to play the film to select each version but also have a scene selection option on the main menu. Which version am I skipping to, and how do I get to the scene selection menu for the other version?

Maybe it works by clicking one or the other version then the audio track quality changes as well as the scene selection.LostTimeLord wrote:I really hope that 'Japanese 2.0' is a typo based on the fact that the Extended version is in stereo, and that the Theatrical version is actually in 5.1, which wouldn't surprise me given Manga's track record.

Manga UK's own website isn't very clear about this either much less Amazon - http://www.mangauk.com/item.php?s=drago ... on-blu-ray
I suppose if there is Japanese 5.1 then I won't mind paying £17.99 for it then.

Re: Manga UK Announce DBZ Battle of Gods DVD/Bluray release
Well if the songs are in Japanese then I guess that'll be something. Doubt it though.
Eurgh!! What a mess of a release, how could they fuck up something so simple?

Re: Manga UK Announce DBZ Battle of Gods DVD/Bluray release
The songs are in Engrish like the FUNimation release but one has to wonder why the hell Manga UK (or Madman?) decided to use DD 2.0 for the Japanese audio when a far superior source is available.
Even Batfleck's disappointed.

Re: Manga UK Announce DBZ Battle of Gods DVD/Bluray release
Well this is disappointing, looks like its a US import for me. For a collectors edition the downgrades compared to the US release is laughable.
Also, the AnimeBlurayUK review says that for the English audio the UK DTS-HD track is superior to the US Dolby TrueHD track; surely neither is superior as they're both lossless formats?
