The Dragon Boxes and Their Faults

It sounds very vintage.

Just saying, insofar as it's Toei (like Saint Seiya or FotNS), not so with contemporary anime series by most other studios.

Not an authentic sound for the time, but it still has a certain vintage sound to it. It's the same sort of feeling as watching an old VHS recording with poor sound quality. That being said, I would definitely prefer the broadcast audio for any Toei series if given the choice. I would say I hope all of Seiya and FotNS's audio is found, but the fact that we've gotten all of DB, Z, and GT's broadcast audio recordings is a miracle in itself.

Ironically, even some of the VHS recordings have better quality audio than what's on the Dragon Boxes.

Yes, and it's certainly an eye opening experience to me with finally being able to watch the complete OG run of the three series with the original high quality broadcast audio, no more crusty muffled ass sounding mono. After years of having to listen to that low quality every time i turned on the Japanese audio track it's a breath of fresh air finally being able to experience it with the crystal clear quality as originally aired. Good on all those fans who went the distance to track down those recordings and sync the audio to the better quality Dragon Box video even with their flaws.

For sure. It is quite a leap in quality. Vegeta's Japanese voice sounds completely different to me now. After all of these years of bad audio, it's nothing short of incredible to experience these series with crystal clear audio.

Once again, can anyone else check their Dragon Box 7 to see if it's a little taller than the others? I got one reply confirming this already, but another wouldn't hurt either. Really want to make sure I don't have bootlegs, especially when I'm about to pay them off after four split payments.

Mine is also slightly taller than the rest. And I bought it from RightStuf back when it first came out so it is highly unlikely that what I have is a bootleg.

Don't worry dude, all of them are like that. When I bought mine about ten years ago, it was taller too. And folks on this board also noticed that when it first came out, way back in late 2011.
