sry.. i'm from germany and my english is not the best

[Conan the SSJ]

hey there,
i have got my Set today and i like the widescreen very much.
I watch the Set on a 16:9 LCD and with the Faulconer Soundtrack.
I watched almost all episodes with original BGM here in germany but as i've heard faulconers work i liked it much more!

The reasons:
Its newer and has a better quality
It has more bass
Its sounds more dramatical

OK... Its not the ORIGINAL but it sounds much better for me

take care
narth

Okay.....First of all, even though you're from Germany, you still agreed to the same rules we all did when singing on to post here. Seeing as you seem to speak English fairly well, we're all expecting you to speak in just as proper form as the rest of us. I'm not a mod, just telling you the way it is; if you intend to continue posting, you'll wanna improve yourself considerably.

Secondly, if you love/prefer the series in wide-screen, that's your choice and you won't get any criticism from yours truly. However, I feel I should correct you that Bruce Faulconer did not compose the music for season 1 or the upcoming season 2's "Broadcast music" track. A man named Nathan Johnson, whose work I personally can't stand due to the man having no consistency or real effort put into his work, did the job for redub episodes 1-67. You'll have Faulconer's actual work starting with episode 68 in season 2.

70 pages...In the humble words of Julian, oh dear. ._.;;

[Victator Supreme]

Oh god, would you stop trying to sympathy munch? It's not like everyone else hasn't got their fair share of responsibilities, financially and domestically, so stop singling yourself out as the poor battler.

Even when the product is a badly produced, lie filled version which benefits only those who made false promises and delivered inaccurate material?

It is not more practical, it is 'cheaper'. From what I can tell from your posts, you're buying it not because of love, but because it's cheap, but I've gone on a diatribe about this before.

You know I have attempted to be civil. But you know what, fuck being civil. You are one of the most brain dead idiots, I have ever encountered. But no you clearly do not have, any real responsibilities, if you are able to go on a jihad about a fucking tv show.

But hey shithead let me spell it out for you.

A person on a limited income buying a cheap (but loaded with extras) dvd set = pracitical. Now I'm sure even an idiot mouth breather like you, can understand that. But please, come back with a five thousand word response that says nothing.

[narth3x]

thanks for your comment con..
I didnt know that the first two seasons were dubbed by Nathan Johnson.
I will try my best to write better.

[MajinVejitaXV]

Now what's your point again?

Well some people say that the extra 5% on the side was pointless because it gets cutoff with overscan anyway. I'm saying with some widescreen TVs you can get the extra 5% on the sides, so it looks slightly less retarded.

Not really. You can go into service menus (which void your warranty, btw) and turn off/decrease overscan, however it doesn't change the fact that the unadulterated image from FUNimation's DVDs have a net 15% loss of image (20% lost prior to overscan in terms of vertical resolution and 5% gained horizontally). My point on the podcast was that my TV, which is admittedly high-end (Pioneer Premier PRO-910HD) has 2.5% overscan from factory on all sides, so I lose 25% vertically and gain nothing horizontally compared to the original 4:3 print. Only reason I brought it up is because FUNimation tried poorly to sell the widescreen idea by using overscan as justification. Too bad we're not retarded, or it might have worked.

BTW, posting pictures off your TV is useless since all pictures posted here have been from PowerDVD or another program which has no overscan to begin with.

Some video comprison shot would be nice.

There's already been quite a few, but if you'd like to make a more specific request of what you have compared I'd make an effort.

-Corey

[Victator Supreme]

Maybe the opening from the dvd compared to one from the Dragonbox set. Not a screen capture but actual video. I've been looking myself, but haven't been able to find any from the dvd set.

[ETC123]

But you know what, fuck being civil. You are one of the most brain dead idiots, I have ever encountered.

Taking Desire's route of "I ain't got nothin' else to say, douchebag, you douchebag!" are you?

But no you clearly do not have, any real responsibilities, if you are able to go on a jihad about a fucking tv show.

Think about it this way- I do some posts on the internet with an opinion I've formulated which, as far as I'm concerned, is absolute and just, and as far as I'm concerned everyone will think it is right. I've also simply not bought the stuff with my, once again, limited income.

How does that incur my lack of responsibilities?

A person on a limited income buying a cheap (but loaded with extras) dvd set = pracitical. Now I'm sure even an idiot mouth breather like you, can understand that. But please, come back with a five thousand word response that says nothing.

I don't know, I'm not the one swearing his head off at people so I think you really need to re-assess the mouth breather hear, especially considering you're willing to shill yourself out at the lowest price, regardless of whether it's a piece of crap.

Four thousand, Nine Hundred something words short.

As I've said before, the introductions aren't good comparison material because even the dbox makers messed with it, unlike episode footage.

Well whatever would be a proper comparison. I am curious to see video side by side. Whether it be comparing dvd footage to the original footage or the Dragonbox stuff.

When you go around comparing people who buy a cheap dvd set to collaborators, you can't help but get that impression.

When dealing with your type, nothing else really resonates, the way good old fashion profanity does.

But no I'm not turning tricks on Main street, or selling scholl childen tainted milk. I'm buying a dvd set of questionable video quality, but is balanced out by sheer episode number and audio options.

Uh...which DragonBoxes are you watching? O_o;;

Not quite. To make a poor analogy, If one carton of milk is sour, does that mean you'll buy it instead of a fresh carton because it's a bigger portion?

-Corey

[Victator Supreme]

Thats a worse analogy. Bad milk will make you very ill.

A better one might be buying a cheaper version of book, despite it being damaged (yet still readable).

I dunno, the contrast and color boosting made me ill (it gave me a headache) ;p

Very well, I'll use your analogy: Imagine it's Hamlet with only 80% of each page of the script.

-Corey

[Victator Supreme]

Well again its a flawed analogy. Perhaps saying the lettering is too small. Its still readable, but a bit of a headache.

[MajinVejitaXV]

Well again its a flawed analogy. Perhaps saying the lettering is too small. Its still readable, but a bit of a headache.

How is it flawed? It's a 1:1 analogy. The purpose of a play is to be read and acted. The purpose of an anime is to be watched. Therefore, if 20% of the animation (15%, if you include the "added material") is excised then it would be just as damaging as removing 15-20% of the printed material in a play such as Hamlet.

-Corey

[Victator Supreme]

Because those things do not affect the story being told. Not being able to see Piccolo's forehead when he saves Gohan does not change that story. Nor does it prevent the viewer from knowing what is going on. What it does is become a headache to the viewer. As a book with tiny lettering would to a reader.

I disagree. Anime is a visual medium. Removing part of the animation removes part of the intended effect.

In that case, technically, you'd be happy with DBZ as an audio-only presentation with a narrator, no? Or perhaps still-frames with the actual audio track? Or an animanga? None of those would impact the story being told.

-Corey

[Victator Supreme]

No I wouldn't. But thats not the case now is it? But the idea of a Dragonball radio serial is intriguing.
