According to some TV Media sites, Toei will give TV Stations in Latin America access to a newly remastered DBZ, but its only on tv. Sucks to be in Latin America.
If this is a true, proper HD remaster, I can't really believe or phatom that Toei wouldn't do more with it than just sell copies to TV stations... I have faith hope it's anything else than either an upscale of the dragon boxes, or funimation's release, though.

Identical colors, identical framing, the writing's on the wall. Also, the press release stating that they remastered it using the "original celluloid" is BS because those cels are all long gone and are either in fans' hands or destroyed.

On the subject of FUNi's film masters for the movies, aside from a couple of movies (1 and 6 at least), I honestly really like FUNimation's remastered film masters. I like the bluer skies and more natural skin tones, and on DVD the quality is pretty close to the Dragon Boxes.
By Celluloid's, i think they actually meant, the original film prints?

Hello everyone, I have contacted Selecta Visión regarding whether they will share a screenshot of the HD Blu-ray footage and in time, they will. We just need to be patient and eventually we'll see a 720 or 1080 resolution screenshot published by them as surely they want to gain more consumers than lose any that might have already pre-reserved their new line of DBZ Blu-rays. I have good faith in that SV will do a great job because it's a company known for quality releases. :wink:

For anyone and everyone that would like to pre-order the Blu-rays they're available here. Curiously enough we'll also have a DVD edition so I presume this will be based on this new footage that they received from Toei Animation and it's all in Widescreen presentation.

I will ask them if slipcovers will also be thrown in for first print owners. This upcoming release looks all in all to be of high quality but that's still to be confirmed.

P.S. As a fan I just registered to post this comment and anything that will be related to this topic.

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

I've pre-ordered the first two volumes. Would have been nice to have English subtitles to save re-encoding them (if the transfers are different), but just another DBZ thing to add to the collection in the end.

Hiya all, Selecta Visión got back to me and I'm sad to report that the DBZ Blu-rays will not include any slipcovers as confirmed by them. Here's a little sample of what the physical Blu-rays will look (the v1.00 version as the v2.00 will be all in orange).
With that said, I also asked them about Resurrection F and will be out sometime in May 2016 so I'm certainly looking forward to that. :thumbup:

Selecta Visión has posted a long post four hours ago regarding the fans enquiries and new images (not screenshots of the films in HD).

Images:
EDIT:

Some interesting points about SV's post:
1) The HD footage of the movies they received from Toei Animation (supposedly) is the only one that exists so far, has grain and looks really good (their words). Still, without screenshots it's possibly Funimation's HD remasters.
2) They're in talks with Toei Animation for a new DBZ fullscreen TV series release in high definition. But here's the pickle in the cake: SV uses DNR so it might not be nearly as good as Funi's DBZ Level Blu-rays were.
3) Films are all uncut but again, in this day and age, we'd expect no less.

EDIT 2:

Amazon now has two new product listings and as such, so are the covers.

That'd be pretty cool if he did, but would Selecta Vision be allowed to release it? Do they have rights to it?

They could be contacted about it and asked.

Selecta would likely need to ask permission to Toei Animation if they could use it for the commercial release.

You know... These are "double features" like FUNimation's, right? Really seems they're copies of FUNi's releases, even though I hope not...

who know. broly was a triple feature (here he will be with the movies 7 ) but i don't make any illusion, in china they have broadcast the movies in HD but it was funimation footage with english credit
Toei doesn't have (in what i remember) the master so i think that they have buy the funimation HD footage based on the funimation original master that always exist.
I'ts my opinion

There's a chance it might be the FUNi scan without all the filtering? Maybe? We can hope?

No, Funimation's films had the same process applied to them as the Orange Bricks, albeit at a far lesser intensity. Being 35mm, the grain was finer in the first place, so the overall result isn't quite as horrendous. It's still a totally overfiltered product, though.
