"Lower your voice a IittIe"? Seriously? Was their "L" key broken or something?

The Murasaki image was fan work as well, it was drawn, or at least colored, by Rexobias.

One of the images of Goku is also a fan art by vVheris.

All of these were created with the intention of resembling Sparking Meteor artwork so they had clean grey backgrounds; easy to cut and paste. That's probably why they were used; they just googled the characters names to find whatever artwork they could. You can see several Sparking character artworks and even a Burst Limit Vegeta.

No, it's from a cover of Japanese single DVD release.

I had a feeling it was copied from something else. Waddiya know. It looks like Rexobias created the rest of the body custom though. Eitherway, this is one fanwork that wasn't used on the bootlegs. The others still might be though. :?

Haha, “DVD Original Quality Collection”! The fact that they would even call it that is hilarious, but looking at the footage, it’s also blatantly untrue.

No, that’s most likely due to them ripping the subs through a program that converts DVD subtitle bitmaps into text through OCR (like SubRip). Because of the sans serif nature of the font on the original DVD, letters like “l” and “I” are indistinguishable and therefore whichever letter occurs first will replace all subsequent occurrences of both.

No problem. I gave away all the db z gt bootlegs i bought in Indonesia to a friend from Bali that happened to be an anime fan, so it's cool to have the pictures myself :D

sangofe wrote:Okay, so since people seemed to be interested in getting pictures of the overly compressed DB, DBZ, and DBGT DVD «releases» here in Bali, I bought a few dvds; DB 1-40, DBZ 1-40, DBZ 201-245, and DBGT 25-42 (or so I thought). And what a HUGE letdown all of these «purchases» were.

First off, DB 1-13 only had subs, and for the rest of the episodes on DVD, they had the English dub. Amazingly they had ripped the English subtitles from probably the Madman set for the first dozen of episodes and the timing was on, but after that, yep, straight to the American dub (yay, sarcasm).

As for DBZ, the disc which I really wanted to take screen captures from so there could've been comparison with the FUNi WS boxes works once in a full moon. On three tries, I've made it work only once, and unfortunately I popped it out after this one time, but I did manage to see that it was a rip from the HK dvds along with HK subs that were horribly mistimed. I'm currently trying to make it work as I type this very moment, but it really does not seem to be working anymore. I wonder if I can get this one replaced?

What did work was the Great Saiyaman & Boo Saga signle layered DVD, nope, you didn't read wrongly, all these episodes were crammed onto one darn single layered DVD. Makroblocking? Yes, please, very much so, I love those sexy blocks. Still menus that are stretched are also pure win. When I say pure win, I mean it, nothing's better. Nothing in the whole wide world ~~~

To my huge surprise I found that the DBGT DVD looked ok, I could also be tempted to say it looked hot, as hot as its DVD case at least. What was its source, you ask? This time, it was neither a HK bootleg (which look and are rather professional in comparison these DVDs), but actually a DVD rip of the FUNimation dvd's ripped by one of the major dvd ripping groups.

So to sum up how the Indonesian releases of the three Dragonball series are, I'd have to say that they seem to take whatever source is easiest and most available, slam a maximum of episodes per DVD of what is possible on one disc and sell it. Labeling the right episode numbers is not so important either. I mean, who cares which episode it is, as long as it's Dragonball when they buy a bootleg?

Edit: pictures are uploading... slowly...
Oh my~ I think that just here in South America have existed that~ :lol:
[We have an official released, but it's from 90's and if you want to get it, it's ripped from VHS and difficult to find them...so, we have to get these bootlegs or~ "fan works" which is a better option [= And even if we have an official released now, i don't think that the majority of people will buy it...so, you see the problem...]
Thanks for sharing it, it's nostalgic~

Alright maybe most of Indonesian bootlegs are Crazy (you all haven't seen 115+ episodes per Disc) but not all of them are crazy one of the good example here is DB Kai bootlegs (but you can't find them in Bali,only in Jakarta) they are 4 episodes per Disc,every single episodes are HD (just like broadcast version) and it's English subtitles.
