I honestly think we might see something change with the season sets when they hit Blu-Ray, all those little problems are going to look that much worse blown up to 1080p.

Which is probably why Funi will get the Dragonbox masters to squeeze more cash out of us.

Has Funi confirmed that the season sets will get a Blu-Ray release?

If funi does put out a Blu-Ray Dragonbox (Dragon box footage on Blu ray discs in large box sets, like half the show in one box or something) Then I would go out and buy a BLu Ray player just to get them.

Also, Funi needs to re-release Dragonball already, I don't even care if it's just a re-release of the original sets, I have a hole in my dvd's that needs to be filled by an actual release!

They confirmed that when they told us they were "remastering" it at 1080p.

How does that mean they will release the series in BD?! I'm not saying that it won't happen, just that there is a good chance that Funi used it as a way of over-hyping the season sets.

I actually agree with that.

I would also! I'm just hoping we'll get a 100% Japanese BGM track unlike the season sets. In the mean time, I'm just going to enjoy the singles. Now if only I could get those black lines off my 2.35:1 content. I'm thinking of trading in my widescreen TV, for a projector with an anamorphic lens and a 2.40:1 screen, so I can watch everything in OAR.

..Because that was the entire point behind the "remaster" so they could keep putting Dragonball out indefinitely.

FUNimation wouldn't have paid for the HD "remastering" process if they didn't intend to put it out on Blu-Ray.

That's exactly what I was thinking they were going to do. I was just asking if they had announced it yet or not.

Even they know the sets will look like dogshit if they are on Bluray.

As of now there are no announcements about the series getting a Blu-Ray release, though we shouldn't expect to hear anything about it until all the season sets are out and everyone has spent their money already.

Has there been any other footage 20 years old older released on Blu-Ray? We know that the season set footage will look terrible on BD, but if it is the oldest footage out on Blu-Ray than that'd be cool.

Its the primary reason I bought a DVD player when the episodes on DVD were released (I refused to buy any discs without Japanese audio at the time).

Blade Runner came out on Blu-Ray sometime last year and looks wonderful from what I've heard.

Animation-wise, I don't believe anything older than Dead Zone has been released, though, so I think DB is the oldest on the format in that genre.

1959

And that's just on the first page of Amazon's Blu Ray results for "Animation".

Oh, right, forgot all about Disney. Guess not, then. Yeah I don't really follow Blu-Ray, much less have a player....or a TV to support one.

You are watching OAR. I think you don't understand what OAR means. 2.35:1 will always have widescreen bars. 1.85:1 is the widescreen you might be fond of.

In all seriousness, I wouldn't want a high def version of the dragonbox. Wasn't the DragonBox remastered in 480p? Anyone have any info on that. I haven't had a chance to read the DragonBook on volume 2.

FUNi isn't exactly well know for having quality control on their discs in the past.

I thought Corey said that the Season box sets could be ready for a Blue-Ray release? Or did everyone agree on that already?
