I have no doubt there will be no difference between these repackages of the 2013/14 season sets other than the logo and copyright information being switched, much like the recent GT Complete Series set the discs will probably have the exact same art. Nappa's yell in a flashback during Episode 93 is still performed by Sean Schemmel and young Krillin is voiced by Sonny Strait instead of Laurie Steele. In that respect this could be a cheaper way of owning the series for US and Canadian fans who just want to have the show in 4:3, and can't afford to import the Manga UK editions, which is something at least. I think I’m ok with This set I have, the steels would’ve been nice tbough if they get the right treatment.

I got the GT complete set from a few months back and it's literally just the green brick discs in a new box, complete with 2009-era Funimation branding, so I suspect this is just going to be a repackaging of existing discs. 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. Minimal redubbing is present with Kyle Hebert redubbing Christopher Sabat as Ox King but no longer as the narrator despite his earlier work sounding deeper than most of his narration (he was retaining consistency with Dale Kelly at the time). Each disk has annoying ads that Autoplay on loading, but they can be easily skipped with the menu button on my remote, so I don't care. Seriously, i simply cannot bring myself to watch the latter two, because the first was awful and shows just how amatuer the FUNi cast was in the early 2000's while the second was them trying to make their stuff from a certain point seem less bad but it was an inconsistent, patch worked attempt with only marginal improvements.But ya the black crush is nothing compared to how screwed up the color is in the dragon boxes and even the 30th aniversary set suffers tint problems. This set is also notorious for its seemingly rushed approach toward English titles, credits, and music. I know it's not a perfect dub much like how it isn't a perfect product in of itself from a technical and production aspect (That's mostly on Toei's part of course) but between the original Z dub and Remastered and the former i'll take it every time.

Looks like its just going to be the 2013/14 season Blu-Rays with Funimation's logo and branding being swapped out for Crunchyroll. The latter's line asking Yajirobe if he's okay after his skycar is destroyed is replaced with "Hey mister, are you okay? Fortuneteller Baba's appearance is left intact with Laurie Steele instead of Linda Young redubbing over it. Just release the 291 episodes uncut in boxsets as they were on the dvd singles in Japanese/Original English audio would have been fine.

They offered me a Promotion Code as a form of Compensation which I took as this will be so long to resolve. Because a release doesn't have to be perfect to be definitive it just has to be better then its competition. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This woefully late review will have to do for now, and every time I complete a series, I’ll post an updated review. Some have noted that the original film print side is still the "remastered" frame, just sped up to reveal grain.

Besides obviously being incomplete, they seem to be regarded as the definitive best versions you could watch. I have learned that the 16:9 have a bit more detail at the sides, which is a little weird, but I’ll take it. No disks were broken, scratched, or missing, so I embarked on a ten-day binge to check every episode for glitching.My understanding is they did the framing on the cropped Blu-rays better than on the Orange DVD sets. Each episode is divided into intro, segment 1, segment 2, and ending, so it's easy to skip intros and endings if you want to go through the trouble. The dragon boxes cant be definitive for some rather obvious major problems but I cant think of any major issues the level sets have compared to other releases. The Japanese discs do look measurably better thanks to their more forgiving compression, and I believe anyone that wants to own a definitive copy of Dragon Ball/Z/GT should own them.

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. Great box set, all blu ray discs separated into separate blu disc cases and not flimsy cardboard type, picture quality is really great as well and best of all these discs work in the UK. The set contains the full 291-episode run of the Dragon Ball Z anime series, starting with Goku's duels against Radditz, Vegeta, and Nappa during season one's Saiyan Saga, and concluding with the Buu Saga in season nine. It should be noted that there are other ways to justify frame-by-frame remastering, including DVNR process, color correction, and 1080p HD transfer. The set not only houses (relatively) new transfers of the series, it also houses them on a collectable artIt would have been really nice to see some new sleeves and discs to differentiate this set from the last one, perhaps with the same orange colour as the outer case. However, Yakon's lines have been left unaltered from the voice filter that was used to deepen his voice in the original version, which is now removed on the Remastered boxsets, as well as Innocent Buu's effect that lighten his voice originally.
