Firstly, any word on how well these sets are selling? I don't want to start buying them only for them to cancel the release again!
Also, I've been thinking about getting them. To have DBZ on Blu-ray from start to finish is something I really want and these are really cheap for a lot of episodes. Does the overwhelming feeling from fans towards these sets lean more towards the positive or the negative?
Lastly, is there a great deal of difference between these and the Orange Bricks, quality wise? From what I've seen the characters always look quite good from stills and whatnot, but the backgrounds often look way too blurry.
Sadly, as far as I'm concerned, they seem to be selling well and probably won't be canceled.
Depends on which fans you're talking about. Reception is heavily mixed. A lot of people love them for t
eh awezomeness of HD without all that stupid grain and detail and tops and bottoms of the picture that get in the way! Likewise, a lot of people hate them for the way they butcher the visual presentation of the show and pass it off as if it's somehow an improvement rather than an insulting slap in the face with their collective dicks. There's really not a lot of in-between. I'm heavily biased in favor of the latter camp.
I do not think it's a quality release. It is better than the orange bricks, but the orange bricks were among the worst home video products I've ever seen in my life, so that's not saying much. They are very cheap, and you get what you pay for. But I would definitely recommend against them.
