Because Movie 8 was framed for widescreen to begin with. Funny how the vast majority of their 'in-motion comparisons' came from there.TheMajinRedComet wrote:Dang... Movie 8 looks looks much better without the dark tint, and so far the cropping doesnt seem to be effecting the action scene as much as everyone was worrying about.
Well, to be fair, you started out your sentence talking about movie 8 and then ended it saying that cropping wasn't affecting the action that badly. So, it'd be easy to assume you were saying that the action doesn't look bad while cropped based on movie 8 footage.TheMajinRedComet wrote:Bub, I was talking about the Saiyan saga footage, its funny how you will let yourself believe anything just so you can stay mad at Funi.
Well, Wolverine, as Kendamu already said I thought you were referring to Movie 8's footage based on the structure of your sentence. My bad.TheMajinRedComet wrote:Bub, I was talking about the Saiyan saga footage, its funny how you will let yourself believe anything just so you can stay mad at Funi.
Maybe funi will crop it so much that we don't even see Gohan and new viewers will assume Piccolo is being blasted on his own.MajinVejitaXV wrote:Well, Wolverine, as Kendamu already said I thought you were referring to Movie 8's footage based on the structure of your sentence.

As for the Saiyajin arc...
Yeah. Footage looks great. We lost nearly all of Gohan and gained Piccolo's left hand. WINNAR = YUO ;p

Heh. I know, I know. I'm just being sarcastic. Guess I'm too passive and nice a guy to get worked up over something like aspect ratios. At least the footage looks cleaner and stuff, so like I said before, FUNimation's got my money on this one so far.MajinVejitaXV wrote:YSE PLZ.SSj Kaboom wrote:Hey, everyone! I've got an idea!

I personally hope they dub the songs. The original versions would probably still be better, but I'm curious to see how English-dubbed versions of "Cha-La" and "ZENKAI Power" would turn out. Not to mention, having dubbed songs would provide a sense of consistancy with their Dragon Ball dub, since they dubbed the songs for that show as well.theoriginalbilis wrote:On my part, I can't wait to hear that new dub with the original score. I wonder, are they going to leave the OP/ED songs in Japanese (like in the DB movies), or are they going to dub the OP/ED into English (like the DB TV series?)
I hope they do, but didn't Toei only give FUNi the original credits for GT? I think that the only openings or endings FUNi ever got for DBZ were textless-only, so they wouldn't be able to translate the credits like they do with their other shows. We might see credits in the dub opening, but I wouldn't count on it. As for the ending animation, I just hope that FUNi doesn't only credit seven people from the Japanese staff, like they did with their other DB releases.theoriginalbilis wrote:Most of their non-DB releases have the full Japanese credits as well as the translated full credits. I wonder if they'll do that (finally) or leave everything textless like they've done with the older DBZ releases.
I don't think digipak is very likely. With their most recent boxsets (the Lupin III movies, most notably), FUNimation just has regular armary cases that can hold two discs each. That's probably what will happen with these sets: three regular cases with two discs each in them.theoriginalbilis wrote:Does anyone know what the packaging is for ther season sets? Since the set holds 6 discs, is the box going to be a digipack (think The Simpsons) style set, or a box with thinpak/thin cases (like most recent anime boxsets?)
Even the people bitching it about it the most might get it, and that reason is what you mentioned above. Twice!Kula wrote:The price, video quality, bonus fetures and low price are very tempting.
Whoops, my bad.ect5150 wrote:... Did you mention the price?
I think I might have posted that same idea on FUNIs forums a while back, but no one took to it. There are other DVDs out there that have that option. I think at the time the Transformers Movie 20th Edition DVD had just come out. And that thing had two discs, one disc had a 16:9 version, and the other had the 4:3 version. The discs themselves are pennies to produce. What more could you ask for? That satisfies everyone and I can't that it would increase the price by more than 5-10 bucks. Would you pay an extra $5, or even $10 to have both versions in the same package? I would.Kula wrote:Whoops, my bad.ect5150 wrote:... Did you mention the price?
I've just been watching the first episode of Dragon Ball on my widescreen T.V. It has a feature that lets you display the 4:3 image and pan it up or down and to shrink or expand it vertically. So I have the option of full screen with bars, stretched widescreen (which doesn't look too bad to be honest) and custom widescreen. Having the Vegeta Saga in widescreen would remove those options for me.
Whether I watch the Vegeta Saga box set or a 4:3 DBZ episode on a widescreen T.V., I'd be losing footage in either case. So why not release the box set in 4:3 so those who want fullscreen can have it, and those who want widescreen can have it as well?
