  • Here I compare side-by side the japanese "Dragon Box" sets and the US funimation releases. The Dragon Box is on the left.
    There are very noticeable differences in saturation and brightness, and in one or two cases even hue. I personally prefer the dragon box, but you take your pick.

      Funimation is overexposed, though. look at the background at 1:32 . Also, as for crop, the crop was done by me since I could only fit one 720x480 source in a 1280x720 space without doing any scaling. I gave the remaining space to the blue brick.

      While you didn't refer to specific detail regarding the plane, I wouldn't be surprised if it's detail in shaded areas you're referring to. They're less visible than they should be in the Dragon Boxes, but overexposing the image to compensate is far from an appropriate solution.

    0:55 Funimation's mastering is better imo. It's way easier to see all of the detail. Colors are less accurate, but I personally prefer crispness over color. I can use a color filter to make it look normal if need be, but there's only so much filtering that can be done to crispen video up. Pretty upset that there's only one opener and ending though.

      The color levels? Yeah, mostly, but since you're working from the same color depth that ends up actually removing details (which is why, in photography, setting the correct exposure before taking a photo is important, and why having a raw to work from is better than working from a jpeg).
      The crop is something I think I did because i wanted to not do any resizing to fit a 720p box and my old machine that I encoded the video on was slow enough I didn't want to do 1080p.
