- Widescreen isn't that bad...during the early episodes. Once the main Saiya-jin battle begins, the cropping is VERY noticeable and gets really annoying.
- I see dirt all over the picture and I don't mean once in awhile, I mean almost every shot.
- Whoever did the mixing for the 5.1 English w/ Japanese Music track needs to lower the volume of the VAs. I can barely hear any of the sound effects or music.
- Speaking of audio problems...in the episode where Gohan is trying to escape Piccolo by using his raft thingy, listen to the scene where he's attacked by the giant eagle in the original japanese audio track. The eagle's sound effects sound a lot like the clarity of the 5.1 mix and is MUCH louder than anything else in that scene. I dunno if this is just my set having this problem though. There was another audio glitch in another scene in the japanese audio track but I can't remember it.
- Is it me, or did they use the Cha-La opening from one of the movies...? Because the audio is so much clearer and louder than the rest of the japanese track.
- The "revised" english dialogue is bull. It's almost the exact same script as the original Ocean dub only with FUNimation's so-so english cast. Most of the time, the original Ocean VAs did these lines at a much higher quality level than the current VAs do. Gah.
- HOLY CRAP IS THE ORANGE HYPNOTIC. This thing sticks out like a sore thumb in my DVD collection.
So, to me, I got what I paid for. Take that as you will.
), and it was great to finally get to watch it in the original language. I was especially pleased with the scene where Gokuu is begging for Krillin to let Vegeta go. I was surprised at how emotional it was. Watching the dubbed versions before, I never really felt anything from it, but the Japanese version....it moved me. The music (one of my favorite instrumentals from the series), Nozawa Masako's acting....it all came together (though I always find it humorous to watch Vegeta in the background still struggling to crawl into his spaceship ^_^)
