I guess it's all they can latch on to.
"Those transformations insane,
They wanna turn up hours late and steal the show from the pros who had to die for the name." - Yamcha (DBWTF: Z-Rap 3)

"Over saturation is easy. Just drag the slider to the right and there you are: instant interest. And certainly, the majority of the public likes saturated color images. In fact, if you want to quickly create a popular image, simply over saturate the colors and increase the contrast. While you may not achieve a sophisticated image, you will achieve an image that will please a less demanding audience." - Alain Briot

Huh, never saw myself as Jack Sparrow. The again, only Johnny can pull him off. I'm flattered though.

I may have skimmed over the details on the set but how many eps are gonna be on here? Is it gonna be the whole Saiyan Saga? Or is it gonna be released in parts?

39 episodes just like the Orange Bricks. So much so that, on Twitter, I see people assuming that these are just the Orange Bricks upscaled.

Hmm, maybe the box art is gonna be connected. Like if you put them alongside each other youll see a completed image. I mean the boxart does look like it was cropped from a bigger image so perhaps the other sets will continue the picture. That actually would be really cool to see. A evolution of the series tapestry or something.

He makes me think of a barbarian because of the shape of his eyebrows or something, and why is Nappa there with Radditz?

Maybe its me, but I dont see it. Perhaps its the angle?

Also, did Yamamuro do the Golden Warrior Illustration Book?

You know what really scares me? This "more vibrant colours" stuff. Sounds pretty orange brick to me.

Vegeata's got a really big head and a thick left thigh in that image.

I put this together just now. I guess it works okay. I still prefer the minimalist approach.

I'm a sucker for those simple boxarts.

All black, just the show's title in the center, I just find that really cool looking.

Personally I am disappointed that they went back to doing 16:9 format. I read an article today on Funimation's page and saw that they are restoring the show frame by frame which is a plus but they said the Season Sets are finally coming to Blu-ray. Here is the article to anybody who is interested in reading it.

Still don't think these are the orange bricks but sad they're continuing the 16x9 route... And wasn't the orange bricks an automated remastering process? From the description it seems it's being remastered in house and probably from the levels transfer.

I actually like the cover and if it's a continuation I think it's neat.

So, this is 16:9 now. Well FUNimation, you blew it. Nice job.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.
