Buu Saga Kai

My name is Ajay and yeah, I'm aware, it's just a bad habit I need to get out of. A response that doesn't just pick at an arbitrary spelling would be nice though!

Damn I really was expecting a low quality release but this is worse than I imagined it to be.
Snip:
Very disappointing picture quality and reminds me of FUNimation's DBZ Season BDs but still not as bad. This was the one thing I was interested and they killed it.

Thanks Toei Animation!

Here's comparisons of the screenshots you posted vs the dragon boxes

[garnetjester]

Everyone looks so green, like they are sick or something I don't remember the former Kai episodes having this greenish hue, but other than that, I think they did a decent job with the cropping.

[dbzfan7]

I want a full version of that Kuu-Zen-Zetsu-Go asap.

[penguintruth]

I think it looks fine. Certainly better than Funimation's remaster.

I like the colors I think they did a good job especially during scenes where the dragon box version had a pink tint.

[TheBlackPaladin]

I've always felt that, in many shots of the Dragon Box footage, the skin of the characters looked a little too pink...almost like the characters got sunburned. So I'm glad that was at least taken care of in the Kai footage. I'm still not digging the green tint, though.

[penguintruth]

I definitely notice the green tint now, but other than that, the footage looks fairly well done. It's definitely a step up from the current terrible Funimation remaster and looks cleaner than previous footage without seeming too washed out.

When you say Funimation, your referring to their recent season sets correct?

[Marco Polo]

Oh look it's Kinto'un behind him.

Oh come on bro the remastering done on episode 99 looks great so I don't know what you were expecting.

[Flame Dragon]

Still looks phenomenal to me, compared to before that is.
Anyway, shouldn't this technically be episode 99? How come it says Episode 100 on the main site?

Episode 100 is the next episode. Episode 99 has already aired, remember?

Mostly. And the orange bricks, of course.

(I also preferred the DBoxes to the Level Sets...)

Oh so the site talks about the next episode to be aired. I throught it indicated the current episode we're at.
Makes sense.

[BlazingFiddlesticks]

On the pink tint, the heavy-pink bits seem to be the ones that look best in the new remaster, anything lighter gets the sickly green.

I mean, what the frig is this but (ugly) color modification? Worst the old Kai did was brighten colors!

The greater sharpness over old Kai is much appreciated. Makes the grain removal much more appreciable. How does Kai do that? It's smoothed to virtually nothing the same way Funimation's grain-wiped releases are but without the quality loss.

Anyone got any lyrics on Kuu-Zen-Zetsu-Go ?

Code: Select all

kame kame hame ha kuraberu kai?
yume no dekasa de hariau kai?
VS. saikyō no rival wa jibun
dōmyaku o hashiru chi ga hi e to tagiri
kōfun mo power mo max
sabitsuita mirai kojiakeraretara
rekishi yo kiseki to yobe
kizutsuku tabi tsuyoku nareta
dakara yasashisa wa yowasa ja nai
genkai-kun o funzuke jump!
zetsubō-chan mo hug-shite dance!
gorgeous! fukkatsu wa

kame kame hame ha kuraberu kai?
yume no dekasa de hariau kai?
VS. mirai wa kyōgaku no spectacle
kū-zen-zetsu-go!

Translation (by bluesun):

Code: Select all

Shall we compare our Kame-Kame Hame Has?
Shall we compare the size of our dreams?
VS. — Your greatest rival is yourself
Boil the blood running through your veins into fire
Take your excitement and power to the max!
If I force open the rusted door to the future
Then history will call it a miracle!
Every time I get hurt, I get back up stronger
My kindness doesn't mean that I'm weak
Step on my cute little limits and jump!
Give my sweet little despair a hug and dance!
My gorgeous revival...
...will be left up to the Dragon Balls!
Shall we compare our Kame-Kame Hame Has?
Shall we compare the size of our dreams?
VS. — The future is a shocking spectacle...
The greatest of all time!

[Blade]

Take your excitement and power to the max!

I initially read that as 'take your excrement" before doing a double take.

I'll be leaving now.

Compressed TV shots that may well be filtered aren't really a great indication despite me agreeing that it isn't the greatest remaster in the world. It's nothing like the Season Blu-Rays though. The art is actually solid and backgrounds aren't smudgy at all.

But yeah, check out the comparison between the Blu-Ray and what we saw on the TV with the older episodes of Kai. http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/69415

Whoever uploaded the raw sharpened the ever loving shit out of the TV rip and couldn't compress to save their lives. With the exception of those in Japan, we're all relying on streams and compressed TV rips from not the most reputable sources.

Even with a source that doesn't sharpen like crazy, there's still a difference. http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/69413

Actually, I have a direct transport stream from the TV airing and it really is that sharpened. Random shot from it.

I love the lyrics for the OP and ED. OP is very Cha-La Head Cha-La-ish. Especially "compare the size of our dreams", reminding me of "the emptier your head is, the more room there is to pack with dreams" (kids, remember to be as stupid as possible to have dreams).
