Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.

Don't they have a little bit more picture? I think I can see more of Shuu's sword in the Chouzenshuu.
Yeah, and it's remastered in 1080p and presented in anamorphic widescreen with never before seen image from the sides. Sounds familiar?
Well at least it's not cropped

So, ultimately, regarding the printing quality and all, is the Chozenshu better than the Daizenshu collection?
Therefore, can we expect the upcoming illustration collection to have Toriyama's artworks in better quality than in the first Daizenshu? (thanks to possibly improved technology/files compared to back then)

Overall no, sadly not. It ranges from "about as good" most of the time to "notably worse", but only the new material has better quality.
Would you mind providing a quick comparison for the "notably worse" quality? Also, has the change in colors in the background affected the quality in any way?
An interviewer asks, "The soundtrack in Sonic 3 has become legendary. Is it true that you worked with Michael Jackson on it?" Takashi Iizuka kills all of our hopes and dreams by replying, "You know, those are just rumors, and SEGA does not want to say anything about them. So they will forever be just rumors..." WHY!?
Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People
Probably won't be picking up either of these. I already own the 1st Daizenshuu and The Golden Warrior, so unless there's anything significantly new I don't see much point in picking it up. Chōzenshū 04, given that it will contain content from Daizenshuu 7, will likely be very text-heavy and since I can't read Japanese...yeah.
People were wondering about the extended number of pages for the Chogashu compared to the first Daizenshu, like whether or not this would include artworks by other people than Toriyama.
I rather think that it will all be Toriyama, but Daizenshu 1 contained a certain number of artworks being reduced in size and compacted on a same page.
My guess is that the Chogashu will actually contain all artworks full-sized on at least one page for each and include all original fully-colored pages, Tankobon cover artworks and Kanzenshuu cover artworks as full-size pictures as well.
I think so because of the fact that the cover shows the Ginyu Commando color page and the "Goku in leather jacket" Tankobon cover as being among other artworks, implying they might not be "bonus thumnails views" this time, but fully-considered artwork deserving a full-size.
I know I said I didn't like it, but this cover is beggining to grow on me
I'm hoping the letters and that stuff are all shiny (like the original Daizenshuu were)

Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.
I just found may 9th. Sweet. Hope it gets updated with info and corrections and just be copy pasted from D7 .

Yay, shiny letters! Wait... the book is really thick, those pages can't be thin. It also looks bigger than the Chozenshu but that's probably an optical illusion, they're both B5.
It's probably because of that apparent slipcase...
