Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

You can notice there's detail loss, looks too smoothed and I can't say for myself the DFs are better than the Singles, for me they aren't.Metalwario64 wrote:Double Features

Dragon Box > Singles > DFs

Now I agree the DFs here looked better, in fact, kind of Kai-ish quality in a way even.DHM211 wrote:*comparison*
But the DFs are flawed.

Most of their doings in the past were terrible. But then DBoxes & Kai came.DHM211 wrote:Some people just like to say everything funimation does is terrible.

Re: Why do the d-box the movies look better then the tv seri
Movie 5's double feature definitely looks better than the single. There are some instances of the film being too dark, or looking a bit too blue, but everything else is better.

I've come to the conclusion that movie 1 and 6 are the only films that look better on the singles, and that's only due to how over brightened and over-saturated they are on the double features. They should have been better, but they look so bad to me. Movie 1's single is sharper anyway, so besides interlacing, it's definitely superior.

Ya i searched up dbz movie 1 and the UUE was pretty sharp so i ordered it plus the first broly single. I actully like the color scheme of movie 6 and i have the blu-ray of it so ill stick with that. The return Cooler is actully the movie i own the most of. I own the VHS, Singel DVD, the remastered dvd and the remasterd blu-ray so i could switch off when ever i want.
