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

[eledoremassis02]

Here's a screen shot of the comparison in the trailer.

Oh my god.

Is this real? What a fucking joke.

LOOK AT THE NOSE AND THE TEETH! The fucking lineart is vanishing.

What a waste of time.

[Super Sayian Prime]

hello 2007 me, don't buy the orange bricks the dragon boxes are going to come shortly after

[PhoenixEX]

What a waste of time.

Well to be somewhat fair those 2 shots of Goku are at different times. They're not exactly the same image.

I'm betting all my Zenny that Bluray versions of the Dragon Boxes may happen one day.

[jeisurii]

Well that trailer certainly marketed widescreen/DNR as the future of DBZ, so 2007 again

That is true. pretty much this trailer is before and after shots 1.5 seconds apart lol



spit comparison:


They look better than the orange bricks..but they're not the level sets.

[Fennekin]

if that screenshot defines the past and the future, I'm sorry, but the future looks horrible.

There's no excuse for FUNimation now. They obviously do have access to 4:3 masters in great quality, but are deliberately choosing to go with 16:9. I wouldn't care so much but FUnimation is trying to justify going widescreen by calling it the "future". This release obviously isn't meant for "future" fans, it's for the past fans, so why not use 4:3, which they consider to be the past.

[Kendamu]

Because 4:3 is the past and a much more profitable share of the market for DBZ either aren't going to care one way or the other or they will prefer this 16:9 stuff. If bites, but that's the reality of this particular release.

Personally, I really don't care that much as long as it's not over saturated to hell. I mean a 4:3 release would have been better, no questions asked, but i'm not not going to buy DBZ on Bluray just because it's 16:9.

Looks pretty saturated to me Not to mention the DNR.

[Taku128]

It's fucking 2007 all over again. Holy shit they seriously just made the orange bricks a second time.

Glad I own the dboxes (although I'm buying this anyways...)

On the amusing side, I showed the comparisons to a friend of mine who considers himself a casual DBZ fan.

He gives it the thumbs up and went to go preorder it. Which is exactly the point of these sets. (He also said he was looking forward to putting them up next to his orange bricks.)

[DBZGTKOSDH]

What is the "past" supposed to be? The singles?

This is pretty much how it is with any friend of mine who considers themselves a fan of DBZ. It's a huge part of why I care, but at the same time I don't really care as much as I did the first time this happened.

[jeisurii]

It's not that it looks bad, and if I didn't know better I might even buy them. But I find it funny that of the contrasting past/future they show in their trailer I find myself choosing past. It just looks right. Past looks pretty Level set to me and as someone who can't afford secondary market Dragon Box, that's what I wanted

[TheAldella]

If you ask me, the box arts altogether look pretty kick-ass.
Also, I'm not sure if this is legit or not, but if so, I'm fairly content with this release.

These aren't legit, no. They were debunked a fair few pages back in this thread as being from a special features video from the Level Sets.

[Kendamu]

Looks like FUNi yanked the trailer. I wonder what happened? Too early?
