Dragon Ball Z” Season Sets Blasting onto Blu-ray This Winter

FUNimation® Entertainment has announced that it is giving the Blu-ray release of the anime phenomenon Dragon Ball Z another go. Originally attempted with the Level Sets in 2011, production was suspended due to technical challenges of the frame by frame restoration from the original film. After careful evaluation of the process, FUNimation is glad to announce that restoration has recommenced and releases will be available before years end. Different from the Level Sets before it, the episode count on the Blu-ray Season Sets will be identical to their extremely popular DVD counterparts. Also different, is the restoration and re-mastering process being used. A bolder, more vibrant color palette is being used to produce a picture current, and future, televisions can take advantage of. The Blu-ray Season Sets will also come in a widescreen format. Precise shot-by-shot reframing of each scene has used to ensure the optimal picture when converting from its native, full screen format. “We want Dragon Ball Z to be a part of the modern, HD experience,” said Gen Fukunaga, CEO and president at FUNimation Entertainment. “We want people to see it and know that the time and care has been taken to give them something similar to what they’d see being created today.” Each set of three releases will feature never-before-seen triptych cover art, showcasing the major heroes and villains from Dragon Ball Z’s three major sagas. Included in the Dragon Ball Z Blu-ray Season Sets will be a nine-part extra features special that spans the entirety of the releases. Each Season Set will include brand new cast interviews, retrospectives, and fan submissions. Dragon Ball Z: Season One (Blu-ray) will be available online and at retail stores on December 31, 2013. To celebrate the announcement of this release, FUNimation is having a 4-day only, pre-order special on their website. From November 7 – November 11, fans can pre-order Dragon Ball Z: Season One (Blu-ray) for $24.74 (45% off).

Make room on your shelves because the Dragon Ball Z Season Sets are finally on Blu-ray! We embarked on a frame-by-frame restoration process to remove any blemishes, tape marks, and foreign bodies that might have tarnished your viewing experience. All three audio tracks have been re-mastered in the interest of noise reduction and superior sound quality.

Yeah, also still cropped. They probably just took the 'Orange Brick' footage and had those 'touched' up, added some audio options and there you go.

Didn't they stop making Blu-Rays last time they tried this because it was a total rip-off that no one was buying (like 13 episodes for 50 bucks crazy?)

And yes, fully cop to being a FLCL fanboy.

Cropping is immoral and should be against the law.

Stop catering to stupid people, Funimation. They can press the zoom, color saturation, and TrueMotion buttons on their TV themselves.

Big Green dub!

The Harmony Gold Dragon Ball dub that changed Goku's name to Zero!

EDIT: Korin was called Whiskers the Wonder Cat. Holy shit that DBZ Abridged joke just got 1000 times funnier.

I like the Faulcouner score especially in the Buu arc, but it never shuts the fuck up.

After watching the Kai Dub I attempted to finish up the original show in it's initial season release dvds. I barely made it to the end of the World Martial Arts Tournament before giving up and deciding I'll just wait for Kai.

Kai is the superior product.
