How could DBZ fans allow this to happen?
There will never be a good physical release of dbz
Was pretty sure they had released a 4:3 on bluray. They will most likely do it to milk money out of it
>>156592536
Vegeta has one hell of a tan.
>>156592536
honestly, the blu ray looks best there
but why is it cut off in OPs pic?
>>156592575
saiyans are tan. Toriyama always colors them darker than regular humans.
>>156592536
where can I get the original broadcast?
>>156592950
>but why is it cut off in OPs pic?
dumb people look at 4:3 ratio shows on their wide screen tvs and get pissed off at their being black side bars. they crop it so its 16:9
>>156592116
>DBZ fans
>having standards
>>156593364
Not him but what is the most annoying thing is that you can literally push a button on your remote, or media player settings to munt it to 16:9. No reason to kill the product.
>>156593364
that's not what I mean
I'm asking why did the blu rays crop in >>156592116
but not in >>156592536
or is the latter one somehow false?
like, only the remastered shot is zoomed in.
>>156596016
First one is either Kai or filtered level sets.
>>156594599
I'm still deciding if super killed the entire series for me or if I should keep the good memories I had with the manga, the Z anime and the classic games.
>>156592299
Just stick the Dragonbox DVD release. Removing the grain from DBZ makes it actually look so fucking bad with the upscaling.
>>156596362
It doesn't have to be this way, you can do grain removal without it fucking up the image if you are competent and put the effort in.
Hell, i've even seen some damn good DNR filters applied to the level sets that looks nice.
>>156596467
Maybe so but the chucklefucks at Toei and Funimation sure as fuck can't manage it.
At least it isn't Disney
>>156597311
>digitally remastered
>>156597254
Don't remind me about how their raping Star Wars.
>>156592116
They literally asked for it.
they said grain was bad, and that cropping for widescreen looks more cinematic.
>>156596193
The Kai blurays were also 4:3.
Might be a TV broadcast, which was cropped to 16:9. I actually have the Japanese broadcast version of Kai because it's the only one with the Kai OST on the later episodes (besides the last three or so, which have no version that uses the Kai OST).
>>156597498
After what George Lucas did to them I can't imagine Disney doing worse.
Hell, weren't they going to release theatrical versions of the films?
>>156598290
Sorry, I misinterpreted. The 4:3 one is the kai one and the one in the OP is the season sets released most recently. The reason they were cropped was supposedly survey results favouring a cropped release over 4:3.
best online release for dragonball and z?
>>156599384
So to get the full shot, I need to buy the kai ones?
How could DB fans let DBZ happen?
>>156601621
Unfortunately, yes. If you strictly want BDs and without the shitty cropping, etc. Dragon Boxes are pretty pricey nowadays.
the level sets were the best physical release, but of fucking course they stopped producing them. (and they weren't even season sets to begin with)
>>156601790
well that's fine, I don't really like the colors ont he dragon box anyways.
>>156601912
They are weird. Has the whole Buu Saga even been released (Kai) yet?
>>156592950
blue ray is the lamest
9000 hours of paint
>>156592116
>muh 16:9 aspect ratio
Just as cancerous as ultra-wide
>>156592116
who the fuck cares
>>156592116
Dragon Ball fans are the scum of the anime viewers.
They have no taste, no standards, no nothing
>>156604787
lol
>>156592116
>DBZ fans
>Standards
>>156592116
Guess someone doesnt know about you really cant change aspect ratios from SD to HD and maintain the same size.
>>156597311
Did they use the photoshop Oil paint filter to "remaster" this?
>>156592116
Cropping a 4:3 ratio old series to widescreen sure is a bad idea.
>>156592116
Whats the problem?
>>156602806
G-Good lord
>>156599404
For DBZ:
[a-S] supposedly has the best video quality, and it has 3 audio tracks: Japanese dub + Japanese soundtrack, American dub + Japanese soundtrack, and American dub + American soundtrack. Downsides are the default audio track can be randomly different depending on the episode, and they cut the OPs, EDs, recaps, and next ep previews from every episode
[DBNL] supposedly has lesser video quality, and they lack the 3rd audio track, American dub + American soundtrack. But it does include the OPs, EDs, etc. They also have 2 separate releases, one for the 4:3 and one for the cropped shit, so make sure you get the 640x480
For DB, [Utsukushii-Raws] has the best video quality (and massive file size), but only Japanese dub. There's also [a-S] and [DBNL] again which are dual audio and have the same points for/against them as said above
>>156598329
lol people getting upset at Lucas for doing whatever he wants with his movies
>>156596345
Just accept Super as it's own thing just like Z and Dragon Ball, hell even GT
>>156610369
The things that made the movies good were other people holding Lucas back from going full retard.
>>156597311
what anbout if we make this C.C. thread ?
>>156610826
Holy fuck
>>156592536
wow the remastered colors looks like horse shit
>>156597311
>>156610826
Blu-ray more like blur-ray.
>tfw you're too retarded to notice or care about the color of the sky being 12% different from the original one you saw 10 years ago, or parts of the background being cut off.
>>156612050
Colors I can sort of understand, but how can you not care about a huge portion of the screen missing in every single scene?
>>156602157
In America? No, they're still airing the dub on Toonami and releasing blurays as they go.
I assume the Japanese ones are all out
>>156597311
They sure got enthusiastic with the blur tool.
>>156612022
Kek.
>>156612050
I personally could care less about the colors as long as it's watchable, but the cropping shit is just terrible since it's not always just background that gets chopped off.
>>156604903
go back to ktt
>>156596016
The blu rays are cropped frame by frame so some shots look fine then there are occasionally shots like OP pic
>>156615299
>>156615330
Why would you want to watch more of the modern Dragonball look? It looks so bright and plastic compared to the original.
>>156615810
That's not plastic, it doesn't use the white shade like Super.
