but yet you wont be able to mix and match the music ?

In terms of the English dub? Yes, they've confirmed you can watch it with both the original and replacement music. In terms of the Japanese audio, no. So essentially the audio options on the Orange Bricks are all here.

After hearing that a few years ago, I'm sure he was.

Funimation has uploaded the trailers to their website.

Either it's just me, or all there is is text.

I'm getting all text too :/. Also, I know camrip footage is an awful judge, but I can see that bizarre greenness ssgOverlord was talking about. It looks awful and I hope that was just some sort of projection error.

Damn thats weird well I'll try to upload the video to youtube for you guys.

Background image of the site has some caps, though, but they're small:

Mind posting the caps on the page since you can see it?

Just go to http://www.dragonballz.com/ and click the pop-up. It's a new video and few new screen shots, but nothing on the page in in high-def (not that I saw at least).

Now I can see it. Must've been AdBlock Plus.

After seeing the trailer...this is the best the show has EVER looked.

Yeah, that's what it was for me.

As for the footage. Well, it looks great in motion seemingly. There was a comparison of the group shot at the end of the opening, and the Blu-ray seemed to have eliminated nearly all of the jitter (of which was still in Kai), but the colors are inconsistent; sometimes it looks really dry and faded, and sometimes it looks somewhat vibrant. It looks like FUNimation is really leaving their film's colors alone this time, which is the best course for them to take. I think I still prefer the Dragon Boxes from what I've seen so far, but that could possibly change after seeing actual HD shots of the footage, as opposed to a compressed trailer.

The Namek arc shots still look kind of bright... Is that just how their film copies of those episodes are?

Are the videos loading slowly for anyone else?
Well I uploaded the trailer to Youtube.

That trailer reminds me of the advertisement during the Toomani days, at least with the music. The video looks exactly like the Dragon Boxes.

The trailer does have the Tonami-esque feel to it. And if they look like the Dragon Boxes, good I guess. We get better bit rate and lossless audio and a small amount of more image (if that make sense to some).

@Metalwario: IIRC, the Namek saga episodes (mainly during the early Ginyu portions) are brighter in the Dragon Boxes, too. It's probably just the color palette.

I'm not the expert on footage so feel free to correct me. Anyway my guess is that since their not using the original (DBOX) masters the film wont be as crisp but since its scanned at 1080P it kinda evens it out. I am expecting that the filters may cause some problems (then again I don't know what they used to remaster the DBOXs). Also since their using the OB masters before they got Franko'd my guess is that they will using the old Japanese audio which was inferior to the DBOX audio.

Everything is better when you watch it with other people (but only if they are enjoying it as well.)

Craddle · Post by **Craddle** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 12:34 am

I like how they added "Doragon Boru Zetto" to the trailer. It'll probably be on the OP and the Blu-Ray menus too.

Soul · Post by **Soul** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 12:42 am

Ahaha, are they using the right kanji this tine?

I do love that Toonami-esque vibe from the trailer, also I'm surprised they actually updated the website itself.

Seriously. I'm actually impressed with this now.

But won't said Mono be lossless? That's got to count for something. Or has it been the whole time, what with Mono sound taking less disc space?
