Dragon Ball Z on Blu-ray

[nagpo]

The only good thing that came out of DBE was that James Marsters felt so bad about it that he redeemed himself in the Dragon Ball Super Dub.

This and that Toriyama started caring about his own IP again.

Any word if Dragonball Super is getting bigger bluray box set or if dragonball kai buu saga is as well? I have held off on getting them in the hopes of box sets with more episodes on them to cut down on the number I would have to buy

I wouldn't count on Kai getting any since those Buu sets were big enough as is.

As for Super, probably not for a while thanks to that steelbook box set.

Madman (BD Region B) released a complete boxset of Kai and Kai TFC, but that was it for an English-speaking distributor.

I never bothered buying that butchered series although I did purchase the soundtrack via iTunes France. It sounds like the score of a game rather than an anime series.

there Was more than One score for Kai on the Blu rays ....

I also don’t expect Super to get another reissue for a long while. FUNimation/Crunchyroll seems less interested in bigger Dragon Ball sets than their UK and Australian counterparts. The complete boxsets for DB/Z are Wal-Mart, FYE, or Amazon exclusives. The movies are still stuck with the old double features on Blu-ray (they have collections on DVD, but the complete box was an FYE exclusive IIRC). Kai still has the old 26 episode sets at the largest. Even that Super steelbook collection is a high-dollar limited set, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s the only time they release larger sets (not counting that Walmart exclusive Vols. 1-3 bundle with the figure). I guess they’re just milking the franchise on purpose.

I meant Kai TFC, specifically. Sorry.

Looks good. It’s just a shame the other two film reels are missing.

I've always said this had also been screened in 4:3 in theaters. I was lucky enough to see Ultimate Fusion and Dragon Bakuhatsu back in 1995 in theaters and recall it being this way. I get the argument they were meant to be seen in 16:9 but I don't agree with it. They were made to accommodate 16:9 but also made to be seen in 4:3 (both in some theatrical showings and on VHS).

In principle from a good scan and good restoration they can look good in both formats but I would love for Crunchyroll to actually convince Toei to let them do their own release and to see them do all the films in 4:3 again. Until then I'm holding on to the DVD's.

All of Toei's non-anamorphic features were designed for 1.75 (as this was the ratio the animation festivals requested submissions to be in and screened them that way). Some theaters in Japan still showed 1.37 as late as 2002, but for anamorphic and hard matted flat widescreen stuff they would ether be severely cropped or squeezed for the old 1.37 frame.

Toei and Funiroll go hand to hand in terms of "remastering" content "in HD". Sure DBZ got degrained and cropped and all, but at least Funi had HD scans to work from. DBZ could've had lazy upscales from digibetas like Toei have did with their recent "HD remasters" of the DB, Z, and GT series. Luckily, Toei did proper 4k scans from the OCNs of the specials and movies, warts and all.

OH MY ****ING GOD


No more DENAIL can be had.
No more COPE
No MORE CRYING

This the REAL DEAL! Those glorious Kineko chads are saving this fandom from collective brain rot. Toe and ESPECIALLY FUNI are garbage scam artist.

This destroys the Dragon Boxes!
This annihilates the Level Sets!
This doesn't even register the 30th set as even existing in the same galaxy!

Anybody still defending those sets as just "not that bad" NEEDS TO SIT THE **** DOWN The proof is here for everyone to see. These CLOWNS have been BURIED BY PURE TRUTH!

I TRIED TO TELL EVERYONE BUT THEY WOULDN'T LISTEN They wanted to live in their own fanatsy lala land where the 30th anniversary set was a wise purchasing decision? LMAO

Once again my friends reality catches up fast and hits HARD! Make sure you remember that next time when you go to bat for a scam product.

Glory to the people making a difference in this god forsaken fandom.

Any news/rumors that they will be releasing all the DBZ movies on one blu ray collection?

[BigOnAnime]

Spoiler tags and the delete keys are your friends when quoting posts with lots of images.

No, and I seriously doubt they'll do it.

It's possible for something to still be decent, even when something else looks better. Especially when that something isn't available for sale. All you're proving here is how over the top unreasonable you are. Yet another one of your insulting hyper-focused troll posts you've been called out on before; you just can't help yourself, can you? Keep on trollin', buddy.

Very Cool. Reminds me of the History of Trunks 4k. I'm just glad I downloaded that one before the torrent died.

[SpaceBlackKnight]

Wish Toei did the series like the specials/films and the scan of movie 9. Instead they went the "HD Remastering" route of having Q-Tec upconvert and smear the 480i digibetas for DB, Z, and GT.
