    The practice of film restoration today is so excellent and widley done that it blows my mind how Toei or Funimation doesn't understand even the most basic elements of it. Color timing, leaving the grain, and having the correct aspect ratio is so basic. Also using an external source such as fan recorded broadcast audio that sounds 10 x better the masters they are working with now shouldn't be hard. If fans at home can sync up the audio it shouldn't be hard for companies like Toei who just had a blockbuster film in Dragonball Super Broly that made 100 million dollars, to do so. Like what the Heck....

    Something I think needs to be said is that, while the images shown have really poorly done, overzealous DNR that smears the linework and removes detail, grain removal, even DNR, isn't inherently bad. The problem., contrary to what some have said, isn't that DNR is being used at all, but that funimation is either too lazy, cheap, or incompetent to apply it in such a way that it strikes a better balance between removing grain (which, ideally, would not be there to begin with, and is just something unavoidable with how DB was made) and preserviing detail. Even Animeajay has noted that grain removal can be done well.

      If you’re thinking about 4K, and 8K releases then I don’t think you get it. DragonBall Z is an old show, it can look good on DVD, it could look great on blu-ray. But it wasn’t made in HD so you won’t see a big deference between the blu-ray and 4K. The only positive might be more episodes per disc.

I get you guys both said the original dub will be on the blurays but I highly doubt it will be the OG dub, I believe it will be the same dub it has always been.

    I think the best we can hope for at this point would be if someone within the Dragon Ball community makes a fan restoration project (akin to Harmy's Despecialized Editions of the original Star Wars trilogy). Since Funimation won't supply the demand for a definitive release, I say let the fans take a shot at making one. Take the Dragon Box footage, but with the picture quality of the Level sets. If Harmy can remove the CGI from the Special Editions and restore the Star Wars films to their original theatrical presentations, it's possible to do something similar to that for the Dragon Ball series.

    It’s too bad that they could put out a level set esque release with less effort, especially after seeing the screenshots of their masters. If I have the money, I will probably support the upcoming Toei Blu-rays and sync some English subs myself because I still want to show support for a product that’s representative of how Dragon Ball should be watched. (Even if it doesn’t have broadcast audio but that would be a nice touch) It would be cool to see a lot of other people do that too but I understand that Japanese Blu-Rays get expensive not even taking into account import fees so people will probably end up pirating. It’s just too bad that one of Funimation’s most popular franchise gets such horrible treatment

    Idk if I would even bother buying a definitive edition blu-ray release at this point lol. I went pretty far to get every DBZ blu-ray and the cropping doesn't really bother me that much so I think I'd be fine with what I have now. I think the only way I'd be pushed to buy the series again is if this definitive release ends up being a complete full series boxset. Buying series by season can be surprisingly tiresome lol.

      @SSJ491 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      DRAGON how come the original Dragon Ball DVD sets (Blue Bricks) have 4:3 aspect ratio, and Dragon Ball GT DVD sets (Green Bricks) have 4:3 aspect ratio. But not Dragon Ball Z?! Dragon Ball Z wasn't 16:9 aspect ratio back then in the '80s, '90s, and the early 2000s. Because we used to have a square television (4:3 screen) back then and DBZ when it was aired at that time during their prime it was 4:3. Now we have high definition (HD) television sets in today's generation, FUNimation is releasing the 16:9 aspect ratio of Dragon Ball Z (Orange Bricks, Kai, and the Blu-ray DBZ season sets). So I was wondering what if FUNimation just listen to us and Toei can give the remasters to FUNimation. That way FUNimation can fix this problem.

    • @SSJ491
      @SSJ491 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      timmyboy yeah, I know I love DBZ too, but come on guys, the original Dragon Ball needs spotlight as well. The Dragon Ball franchise as a whole was massively popular around the world (well except GT), not just Z. Everything became so popular thanks to the Dragon Ball manga series, and the anime series in the '80s throughout today. Like Pokémon for example, they became popular in the world, and Sailor Moon too in the '90s. Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach was popular in the 2000s decade. My Hero Academia, and Boruto became popular in today's generation because of merchandise sales. But nothing became much higher than Dragon Ball, because many people really like Dragon Ball due to its content that Toei Animation, Bandai, Toyotaro, and Akira Toriyama gave it to the fans crave for mode great things for the franchise.

    • @DR3G0N
      @DR3G0N 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @casualvanilla
      @casualvanilla 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SSJ491 THIS is what's frustrating about FUNimation. Why does Z in particular get the bad treatment, whereas Dragon Ball and GT are treated relatively well? Z is the show that FUNimation is most well-known for, so it shouldn't be taking over ten years to get a good COMPLETE release.

    • @carpetsnake83
      @carpetsnake83 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Proto Man to stretch the images the zoom in chopping off the top and bottom of the frame
      This lead to shots with the top of people’s heads missing or there mouths missing when talking it’s distracting
      Having the full image is best even if in 4:3 which yeah isn’t awesome
      Especially when to change it it’s just a matter of option selection on your tv or player
      The only way you could get the proper ratio’s is to reframe and reshoot the whole thing from scratch they are never going to do that even more expensive
