Because in the end, they really don't give a shit what some company in another country does with their material. If it sells for them, good for them. Of not, too bad for them.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:If this isn't the "intended version" of Z then why did Toei allow FUNi to produce these?

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"
The whole TV remote can zoom in on BD's is a myth all 3 of my TV's couldn't zoom in on Kai. I understand (too some degree) why you folks are pissed but I don't share that same attitude, I want what I want, like how you want what you want.Just because we are now living in the age of 16:9 TV, it does not mean or give people reason to start altering any past material just so it can fit that extra inch or two of black bars on the sides. If you want it so bad, you have your TV remote for that.

Depends on who you ask. I've been very vocal about how inconsistent, illogical, and insulting it is and is in no way excused just because they're the rights holder.samuraix123 wrote:Just because it's Toei does that make it okay for them to crop the show?
well kai is an exception because 9/10 it was done properly.

I'm not attacking you btw. just trying to make sense why it's acceptable for Toei to do this but Funimation is an awful and evil company. But I mean, you said it's 9/10 done properly right? so that means the orange bricks were cropped well because I believe I remember seeing a comparison that they were cropped exactly the same.Because Kai was cropped on TV due to channel requirements and not due to them wanting to butcher the show to appease a moronic group of fans. It was also uncropped on home release so it wasn't a big deal. Also, it's done incredibly well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC0ZX0ABQkI - Just look how much that changes and how much care is put into it.samuraix123 wrote:Why is Kai an exception?
Yes. It works on everything: TV, DVD, BD. I use my PS3 as my DVD/BD player so it doesn't make a difference.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:Really? On DVD's or BD's?

Due to the fact that the show was shot in 1.37:1 and it was composed to be seen in 1.33:1 (4:3), 16:9 becomes a serious flaw. I’m really bored with saying the same thing all over again, so I will put it that way: I also strongly prefer 16:9 over 4:3. I would LOVE to see Dragon Ball (and Z) in 16:9 without any picture loss nor shots decomposition, but I’m educated enough to understand that this is impossible and I’m grown enough to accept it.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:16x9.
Judging by the nature of the source material and extremely cheap method of grain filtering - it becomes another serious flaw. This was also discussed before and the situation looks the same as above.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:No Grain.
I’m not planning on starting any kind of war, but if you’d let me express my opinion: With all due respect, His Excellency Bruce Faulconer has nothing to do with the original Dragon Ball Z TV series, so having FUNimation's music it's not an argument to me.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:Bruce Falconer.

The first thing I do after buying DVD/Blu-ray is remux audio/video streams that interest me into a separate mkv files. I hate all those menus and other options. They only make watching the show harder. They are completely useless to me.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:Awesome Menus.

This. I don’t like the colours and especially their contrast - it makes characters look like wax figures. Also, the linework is too static and symetric. It lacks this kind of “life” the original artwork had.Metalwario64 wrote:There are many proportional and compositional issues with the artwork.

There is a way. It's called “basic logic”. Some things people say are just opinions, based mostly on their tastes, but some of things they say are facts based on what's written in the books. Do not mistake “opinion” with a “common rule”. Calling others with names is just a pathetic excuse to justify lack of interest in getting deeper understanding of things that are discussed here.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:There is also no way to prove these folks are 'ignorant'.

The Season Set crop is mostly okay but if you take a look at the more strenuous action scenes where there's a heck of a lot of cuts, the difference in care is very clear.
TOEI don't get a pass because they're TOEI. Look at the reaction to the Boo Kai home release being cropped. We're still mad.
Side note: Neither are cropped 'like the Orange Bricks' as they're just a center crop.
No, I was referring to those who prefer Dragon Ball cropped to 16:9.samuraix123 wrote:''a moronic group of fans'' What do mean here? Because I like the dub of Dragonball that makes me moronic?

I wouldn't call them really moronic though? it's just a personal preference. it's not like Dragonball is a God and if anything is tampered with it then it's hell fire and brimstoneAjayLikesGaming wrote:No, I was referring to those who prefer Dragon Ball cropped to 16:9.samuraix123 wrote:''a moronic group of fans'' What do mean here?

Even though! I do agree that I wished it was kept in its original 4x3.
No, it's okay because Kai is an entirely different show from Z. It's not claiming to be Z. It's not being sold as Z. It's not replacing Z. So for this new product, they can do whatever they want with it. And if it's crap, at least it stands alone as crap. FUNimation is doing all of this crap and actually trying to pass it off as Z.samuraix123 wrote:Just because it's Toei does that make it okay for them to crop the show?
