They look like pictures from Daizenshuu or something. I'm sure someone here knows what they are.

I think there was a topic on this before. From what I remember, these were RAW or cel shots that were given to them by Toei for their advertising or cover artwork. Though I do wish the movies did look this.

They're high quality cel scans. Those pictures are also on DBox the movies singles
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

That YouTube video looks ridiculously overfiltered.

It's been said how many times?
Grain is part of the image.

I don't like the remastering in that YouTube video either. Everyone seems too glossy.

And shit is part of the the digestive process. Doesn't mean it's good.

The only way to remove grain will also ruin the picture by removing the detail.
Ugh... This "Dragon Box Test" video makes FUNi's "remastering" look beautiful...

Considering we wouldn't be able to exist without it, I'd say it's very, very good. So it is with film and grain.

Yeah, they're just scans of high quality cels.
Perhaps the closest you'll find to that quality is through blu-ray. There's actually more of them out there, this one's still my favorite:

Film has grain. Scientific fact. It's impossible to have photographic film without grain. The end. If you don't like it, I suggest you avoid things that were put on film and stick to digital... everything.

...Which, if I might add, lacks the resolution and texture of film. So, yeah, dude, deal with it.
