Similar issues as the Orange Bricks, but they did more strategic cutting for the aspect ratio, so people's faces weren't cut off when talking. Either way, he does his best to bring folks the latest news on AUKN and also any other information and unboxing hauls over on his Normanic Vault blog. The steelbooks just have the best audio options while also being one of the cheapest ways to own the series as with proper planing they end up costing around 15 dollars each which is less then half what the uk import would cost while probably being easier to resell.

For me to even consider these, the new cuts must be excellent without cropping, without quality variations between episodes, steelbook artwork needs to be something special with a decent treatment. It also means the series will cost you like less then 1/10th new what the dragon boxes would cost you used.For the "remastered" release of Ginyu Saga, FUNimation redubbed several voices to make the transition from the previous episodes (which were dubbed uncut only recently at that point) easier. Minor changes were made to Christopher Neel's original script, sometimes replacing less-mature sounding dialog, and dialogue that may have sounded awkward in the original version. Definitely, Crunchyroll could have at least reinstated the Japanese title cards and next episode previews from the GT single DVDs. However, the "best" Dragon Ball Z release still remains the Japanese Dragon Boxes Z for its picture quality.

The people who actually care about the edited Funi dub from Ginyu Assault onward are probably a microscopic niche tbh. I think I’m ok with This set I have, the steels would’ve been nice tbough if they get the right treatment. First was color correction, which Franko stated was little to none, using a Da Vinci 2K Plus Color Corrector.

The Captain Ginyu Saga all the way to the Kid Buu Saga (Episodes 68-291) feature the Faulconer Productions music in the series. Yes, the UK DVD release “orange brick” sets were uncensored as far as I am aware, but they were cropped too. Funimation, and by extension Crunchyroll, seems to be under the belief that only the hardcore collector fans want the show in the correct aspect ratio and everyone else prefers the series to be in widesceen.

Despite the massive controversy, the set has become one of the best-selling anime DVDs all of time, selling more than 48,000 copies during its first week of release. The problem is that they only have to release the show with decent-looking footage once, and they want to be able to hold that carrot-on-a-stick over fans' heads until the sun blows up. It would have been great for people who wanted to relive that Toonami nostalgia but useless for almost everyone else. Vegeta turning Super Saiyan in Episode 129 also has a sound effect when his hair turns Golden, which also has been lost. I think the idea would have been to release the singles dub in boxsets, as that was uncut and could be synced to the Japanese audio track.

The individual thin cases feature new artwork based on the original Japanese poster artwork on the front, and the clean artwork from the previous American release on the back. Will have to find some more reviews about that 30th anniversary set to make sure it was a good remaster. They don't hate the uncut dub, they hate the partial redubbing found on the Orange Bricks onward for being revisionist or half-assing it depending on who you ask (i. The resolution may be better, they may have gone in and fixed a few things, but I'd argue that you lose something from the original footage that I honestly prefer. At times, I thought they were severely cropped as the top of the head was missing etc but looking at the original the head is cropped there too.
