For some reason I thought the remastered funimation version was just the original with better video quality. I think it's time to purchase some DVDs, thanks.
The footage in that video is from the orange season sets Funimation released a few years back on DVD. They're cropped to 16:9 (Dragon Ball was animated at 4:3), have messed up colours, and have had a tonne of DVNR applied to very lazily remove grain. The by product of that is the fact it removes a tonne of detail along with it.
Yeah, I noticed the crop and the smudgey look. I think I've actually been watching the remastered when I usually rewatch the series on youtube or other streaming sites, but the Frieza saga remastered isn't ever uploaded for some reason.
I suppose I'll watch it more for audio more than video, but all this reminds me is that I need to check out the cancelled Blu-Ray release to see it for a mix of both.

Yeah so I went to the New York comic convention and realized the only things I spent money on besides a train ticket and food was on Dragon Ball stuff.
First off I bought Infinite World, which I have no clue when I'll ever actually have the time to play.
Next I bought this hot ass shirt
and uh that was it. I managed to only buy 2 things the whole weekend.
I did take a bunch of pics though
The case on the left had the caption you'd expect.... for some reason....
Weirdest thing I saw would probably be these
They're just colored incense with pics of DBZ characters on the box, I thought it was weird as hell, that and the Megaman air fresheners.
They did put them with these cool statue/figures though.

Viz is re-releasing the manga again. We all hope it's the Kanzenban but we all know it won't be.

Yeah, Broly isn't smart, but God damn if he can't beat everyone into a pulp. I mean, he took on 4 Super Saiyans at once, plus Piccolo, and the fucker never went down once. Like, he wasn't even tired at the end.
edit: Also, he took a kamehamaha to the face from 2 feet away and didn't even flinch.

I'm curious, after FUNimation releases Kai Season Four on DVD/Bluray, do we really have no Dragon Ball releases on the horizon in North America? Or Japan for that matter? I can't remember this ever being the case. There was always something to look forward to, no matter how rushed or rehashed.
My theory is Toei is digitally remastering the series again for Blu Ray as promotion for the movie next year, which is why FUNi had to cancel their Blu Ray release hella early.

Say, how come Piccolo was able to merge with that other Namek (forgot his name, he was with Dende I think)?
I hate Naruto nowadays primarily because Kishimoto likes to kick him whenever he does best by putting Sauce-kay and his Uchiha fetish as a center screen. I actually returned reading when Naruto became that badass dude in the invasion arc but then he became an idiot again because he was becoming more badass than that Uchiha guy.

Don't really know if this thread is still on the topic but I've been reading the manga and watching the anime at the same time.
Both are equally as enjoyable, it is quite odd how they turn a couple of pages into a whole episode though.
I like how Dragon Ball is softer and funnier than DBZ. They aren't overpowered either, which is a good thing. I am up to King Piccollo or Volume 12.

Agreed. Funi Dub has Vegeta sounding constipated, the Kai dub is definitely a step up, but Abridged Vegeta is best Vegeta.
Just watched all of the Abridged so far, and yes... Vegeta is soooo good there. xD
Nail? I dunno, i just thought Namekians could fuse.
Nameks have the ability to fuse (and spawn). It's an extension of their slug-slime biology.

Ahh I always thought only Kame could do that.
Picollo should just fuse with everyone.

Previously I'd say it was impossible because Nintendo now owns 100% of the developer, but due to Monolithsoft making Project X Zone for Namco Bandai I guess a sequel is still possible. The problem is that Attack of the Saiyans sold very well in Japan, but poorly internationally, which is the opposite of how Dragon Ball as a whole is doing right now.
You know, it was very kind of Toei to even allow Funimation to release Blu-Rays. There were no Japanese equivalents and because Blu-Ray regions are shared between Japan and North America I have to imagine there were some imports. Funimation even got through all the movies before Toei has even announced a release on BD.

As long as it's not Sauce-kay I'm fine with it.
I think they'd give Sasuke Vegeta's scouter look.

The original ocean dub was easily the best. That scene gave me chills as a kid.
Sabat never came close to the highs of Drummond, like the classic "over 9000!" but he did get better and eventually became one of the better voice actors of the series. For example his monologue as Majin Vegeta was amazing. I think Sabat played a very good older, matured Vegeta that Drummond might not have managed (he only really got to do angry, evil vegeta).
I thought the actors Funimation hired later in the series were quite decent too; Cell, Trunks, Boo, Mr. Satan all had good voice acting
I just wish they had retained the same VAs with high production values all the way through
That's because DBZ was Sabat's first voice acting gig. He was a sound designer and audio editor, not a professional voice actor. And here he was being thrown into a dozen different roles on DBZ as his first job.

Dragon Ball SD is a great avatar resource.
I think I've only used one image from it as an avatar, but yes it is nice to have some coloured art.
So this is a thing. Not sure if it's been posted yet.
It's up for pre-order and should be out late October/early November.

Funi's dub started out complete shit but it got better during Buu, and Kai's dub is amazing. The Texas cast really found their bearings.
The major problem seemed to be that at first, they tried to just mimic the Ocean dub, and when they started introducing newer characters they had more liberty to cast, you know, normal-sounding people. Trunks was the first major example of this. Sabat and Schemmel had also settled into their own takes on their characters at that point.
So I just finished Kai and it was pretty awesome. I'd never seen much of Cell before. Debating whether to start on DB or continue on in Z with where Kai leaves off.

DragonBall was the manga of my childhood. A flawed masterpiece that allowed a lot of mangas to come over and kickstarted the interest for anime in general. However, One Piece beats it thinking rationally. Oda is a fan of Dragonball himself, and I like the amount of planning he does beforehand. Post-namek saga, Toriyama wanted to call it quits but he couldn't due to popularity. Not to mention the absurdity of exponential power levels.
