Funimation Dragon Ball Kai Bluray Speculation

[Craddle]

Oh hi, FUNimation. I fixed your boxart.

Much better then theirs. I mean, is there really any reason for all the white/blank background on their cover?

[bkev]

Here's a good idea, what about taking the Japanese character that appears at the very beginning of the opening (don't ask ME what it is) and pasting it on the background?

For anyone who orders from AxelMusic they have Dragon Ball Z Kai (DVD) for a pre-order price of £21.67 and Dragon Ball Z Kai (Blu-Ray) for a pre-order price of £22.57.

At the bottom of the Blu-Ray page they have a pie chart showing FUNimations region coding, it says "Free": 7% and "Locked": 93%".

Thanks for the link, I can save much more on shipping.

No problem! I'll order the DVD from them, I was surprised how cheap it was.

Oh and Amazon have the Dragon Ball Z Kai DVD cover art.

[LilKokuLink]

Has it changed a bit? It just seems to me that everytime I visit the page, something changes but I can't tell what. Wasn't the photo only showing the front before?
Also it might just be my tired eyes or the quality of the picture, but if you zoom in it looks like it has really light gray designs, the zoom in feature for amazon is very good so I don't think it's loss in quality.

Indeed, all that white space has some subtle background material now. That alone makes it look MUCH better.

[Li'l Lemmy]

It ain't like I wasn't gonna buy the damned box anyway, but man am I disappointed with it. I liked shit better back when FUNimation was just learning to use the original cover arts, like with the movie singles. I remember when the cover for Movie 12 got leaked-- made me drop a fuckin' brick.

Oh, wait. Of course I remember it. I'm the one who found it. ^_^

2005?! Damn, am I old!

Always the small effects that make the biggest difference . I'm glad someone else sees that, I thought I was just seeing things.

Is the Goku image bigger?

[ShadowDude112]

I pre-ordered this but I chose the wrong shipping can I change that or do I have to cancel my existing pre-order and pre-order it again?

[SSJSteve]

Looking at the cover art, does anyone else find it weird that Goku's foot is being cut out?

Looks like JPEG artifacts to me.

[Metalwario64]

Looks like JPEG artifacts to me.

Yeah, especially on the zoomed out image. But when you zoom in on Amazon's page you can tell that it's actually a "pattern".

At least there's something there I guess...

You mean the "Kai" kanji? Yeah, they do that on the Japanese releases. I thought it'd be cool if they did that to give the US releases a bit of a background.

So, it's probably Region A for the Blu-ray. Man, what a bummer. I want Kai in HD!

Yeah, it's definitely Region A. You could always buy a region free Blu-Ray player or unlock your current one.

[Timo]

Right, but a region free player is too expensive at the moment. Too bad there is no chance to unlock the PS3.

[LilKokuLink]

I'm so lucky that my dad bought a region free blu-ray player, £200 off when buying HDTV really helped!

Yeah I was hoping it would be Region free so I could use a PS3. Never mind DVD is fine.
