- The long awaited DBZ 30th Anniversary box set is out, and it's a mess! The picture is horrible, and many are reporting scratched discs. But, because of the limited availability of this product, scalpers are running up the price. Do not pay for this!

So in other words, I'm not missing out much. No surprise there.
Actually with it being cropped to 16:9, you are actually missing a fair bit.
I rather spend $350 on something else
He is just wining because he doesn't have this...
The picture is great of this version (not as good as the level sets) but a lot better than the horrible orange bricks or the other BLu-ray release).
But people are always complaining and wining... no matter how good it will be...
Noo it's not 4:3... nooo it has a lot or noise in the picture...it's to dark... etc. etc.. this version fixed almost all those problems... and now AGAIN no the colours are a bit off sometimes.. it's always something
COMPLAIN WINE WINE WINE...
Again this release is just fine stop hating!
@@AP101083 you've got some nerve. You mean to tell me that a show, made in 1989, is 16:9?! Hell, your probably one of those ppl who would buy a new jacket out of spite and throw it out within 2 seconds
@@o.g.francis9361 NOOO It should be 4:3 and this version is 4:3 and NOT like previous version 16:9 and now they complain about the colours... it's always something and if the colours are good than they complaint about something else again ugh...
With the way Funimation has been throughout 2019... I'm not surprised that they're shipping defunct products.
It looks like funi is milking everything to the last drop due to they know sony is going to merge funi into other things and make them a bad memeory
2019? Just 2019? What about 2018, or 2017, let's go back to 2014 when they were assured for hiding sales figures from Japan, or back to 2004 when they started pricing three episodes at $60. I know let go to 1994 when they began engaging in pointless censorship of even their home releases while labeling them uncensored. I know let's look at 2006 when them practices caused an industry wide crash, or in 2013 when they again caused an industry wide crash! They have been scum from the very beginning and have never changed!I've always hated them and oh God is this what a hipster feels like?
im just disappointing cause theyre a texas based company yet they dont act like texans cause most of the state is republican and they act more like woke democrats and 2019 is their worst year yet and im betting 2020 will possibly be their downfall
Now that I think about it I bought the Code Geass collection over the summer and I had to get a replacement for the first blu ray of the second season because of a huge scratch. How do you even scratch a blu ray
@@ColonelCarnage orange bricks of Dragonball Z season 4 is scratched up and it was hurtful to see.. LOL but it's ok still worked!
Imagine spending over a thousand dollars on this and a disc is scratched! Oof!
RIP, Roblox character.
Yup four of my discs were scratched on arrival....
Mine had scratches, and fingerprints on them. I wonder if they packaged this in someones garage or something.
@@supasonic02 Someone send Cell at their asses.
@@supasonic02 Did you try contacting Funi? I'm not sure if I should contact them or not based on some of the reports about them never getting back to the customers...
I'll buy Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot instead. Practically the whole DBZ story right there for $60.
With very beautiful renditions of the music from the original japanese dub of the show.
Tenkaichi 2 is like 10 bucks on ps2
@@felipe_drawmania1604 i am so hyped to hear those original japanese soundtrack songs remade
Nahh just highlights since it's a game after all
@@danielvelaswuez7197 i think theyre having more than just highlights this time
Everyday, people give me a reason to turn back to piracy.
Goblin Slayer greedy assholes that what that is. If you got the remastered og DVD’s you have the best editon.
@Straight Jacket Rather be a StrawHat Pirate tbh.
Zen-chan uh that is pirating lol just because it doesn’t include the net doesn’t mean it isn’t or was all those anti-piracy ads from the 80s(floppy disks) and 90’s just fakes lol
@@VirgAlexJunchurriki i have them besides season 9 because a friend never brought it back...
Goblin Slayer bruh your telling me
I’m just trynna support these banger shows but bullshit is always coming up 🤦♂️
It's times like this that makes me wish Saban and Pioneer were still keeping funimation leashed.
Instead they now have Japan hating Sony as their master
Jeffery Quick Why? Ocean sucks dude
@@jacobblanton5179 Someone should snap Sony's Soy Branch to dust.
ADV films too, though they live on today as Sentai Filmworks.
@@lunatic0verlord10 won't happen ps4 4th best selling console ever
Just buy the Viz Media manga volumes of DB and Z, don't bother giving money to Funimation.
The manga of DB and Z is better in my opinion anyways
I have the complete series. GT as well but that was way back in 2011.
Did exactly that.
I want Viz Media to own the anime rights. They'll probably make a far better release then Funimation's past releases. Basically the only way to get DBZ in 4:3 and in better quality is getting the (now expensive) Dragon Box sets and the old Funimation Singles DVDs. Both out of prints versions...
DBZ Kai is the best accessible home release
Viz are just as bad. They hired someone to takedown the videos of a popular creator on RUclips without his permission. He lost all his videos because of the underhanded tactics of Viz
Having the Funimation name on the product is already a sign not to buy it.
But you'd still buy it if it was Yu-Yu Hakusho?
fuck I'd rather spend the 1000$ for the Dragon Boxes digitally remastered and released by Toei back in 2003... I don't care if it's only in Japanese at least it looks like gold compared to this butchered piece of shit that Funimation released
Holy smoke. I just realized I dodged a missile that could have done 19.4% damage to my monthly income
Congrats
Bro never spend 20% of your monthly income on something like this if you are monetarily responsible for yourself
Spent a good minute doing some math to figure out your yearly income
Where do you work Taco Bell, not trying to sound insulting.
Well, YellowFlash. Thanks for sparing me the misfortune of spending my money on this trash. 2019 was the 30th anniversary of Dragon Ball Z, and THIS is how FUNimation chooses to represent it? Smh. Complete disrespect to a series that we grew up with. FUNimation doesn't deserve the rights to Dragon Ball Z anymore. Give it to Viz Media.
I'd rather buy a DVD set of Vic's Star Trek reboot
Mucho Taco
Wait, is that a thing? He was in Star Trek?
@@RavenCloak13 he made a star Trek reboot on his RUclips channel
LOL
@@Mucho-Taco it is a continuation from the end of the original Star Trek series. Hence the name, " Star Trek: Continues". Not a reboot, anyways Funimation needs a cleansing or to transfer all of their properties to a new studio with respectable and passionate people in charge who have brains and integrity.
I can't tell if your saying that that the reboot is bad or you'd rather pay for something you could watch for free
At what point will you people band together to sink this company? Shit like this won’t stop otherwise.
Way ahead of you
We are doing our best but Sony is gonna try to keep them afloat.
@@anime-mun heh all we need is Sam Raimi to do the story board for one episode
@@animus9949 Nah man... Get Paul Feig to write the script and see what happens.
because you also got the apologist who will continue turning a blind eye
Isn’t it illegal to sell someone a product that has tampered with or for this a dvd set with the disks having scratches?
I swear FUNimation has now become as bad as those sickos who stick razor blades and needles in Halloween candy.
I have no idea about law, but makes sence to me. if they fuck up the product, then they are responsible
How hard is it
All we want is
The full picture with no alterations 4:3 ratio
With English and Japanese subs and dubs
And the Bruce foulcer sound track
And as for extras put in the old Cartoon Network openings and bumpers to the series like
Rock the dragon
And others
Interviews with the people who did the dubs and music
How hard is it to do that
Faulconer score has never been included due to contractual issues. Aside from that and the extras, it's not that hard. Toei's masters are goddamn beautiful, and it's a crying shame.
We should tweet this comment to Funimation.
This comment needs to become reality
geek freak17 ewww Bruce’s soundtrack?
It doesn't come with tbe option to add in bruce falconer's score?
*This is why I'm glad KickAs%Anime and GoGoAnime exist. Free anime there everyone! Every episode and movie.*

You appear in a lot of videos I watch lol. Also hi

More proof that FUNimation doesn't deserve the rights to Dragon Ball Z. This, along with how they backstabbed Vic Mignogna.
Joseph Brooks For real. And what's that one anime where they had some girl talking about "Down With The Patriarchy"?
@@comicguy416 In a perfect world Funimation will lose My Hero, One Piece, Attack on Titan etc rights and it will go to a studio that's passionate and in it for the right goddamn reasons.
@@kylelambskies8062 Yeah, All Might could have a much better voice actor; Deku too.
@@comicguy416 Personally I think his voice is too high for a 15 year old, he's good at voice acting though
Funimation isn’t what it used to be. The old Funimation didn’t push agendas. I don’t know when they changed into this agenda driven evil (corporate) empire, but there was a time when they were good.
I feel really bad for DBZ fans. Makes happy viz had the rights of demon slayer, JJBA, and Sailor Moon.
Madam Koi Fish the jojo Blu-ray boxsets are amazing and viz still let Vic finish his role on diu
Malik Alasa he was amazing as Rohan!
Thank the lord that sailor moon is under viz media and not Fuckimation.
Yeah, I love JJBA.
Funimation fans deserve this. Why else is Funimation still ruining DBZ after 20 years? Because of idiot fans buying every POS release they put out.
I hope Viz Media gets the rights to Dragon Ball. Maybe they'll give us a proper release.
marplatense31 And hopefully some of the former FUNimation voice actors like Stephanie Nadolny, Dale Kelly, and Vic Mignogna will get some work over there.
@@SuperSonicWarrior93 Agreed. Thought I would recommend to only get Stephanie to voice kid Goku, as I'm not a big fan of her Gohan.
marplatense31 Fair enough. Then let's get the woman who voiced kid Gohan in the Ocean dub, to voice him again.
marplatense31 the best gohan is her voice 🤣 Kai’s is def not the right gohan voice
@@Juan-vx7nd No. Right off the bat she made the 4 year old sound way too old. She lost me after that.
You could buy a Switch and a game with that kind of money.
Almost. When I bought my Gray Switch last year, it cost around $362 with tax.
Switch lite atleast and a few games
That would be the better investment money spent wise, as well as long term. Funimation isn’t what it used to be. They weren’t always agenda driven. I don’t know when they caved in to the SJWs, and frankly, I don’t care.
I can’t stand scalpers. Its something we battle with every day. People who actually want the item miss out on it, people who don’t care of the item somehow beat us to it and re sale it for x2-3 the price.
I have a theory why funimation is doing this
This about it for a second
We fans will pay a lot of money for the series cause we love it so much right
And funi knows this
So they make mistakes on purpose over and over again on purpose they so that way they get our money and when a new one release comes out and say....
Oh this mastered and better product is better and refined
We will buy it and when we see the mistakes we will wait again to buy the next release
And the cycle starts all over again
If they did give us what we want then they wouldn’t be making anymore money with releases
The real answer is simpler. They haven't worked on the content in years and are just repackaging it over and over. The only cost on their part is manufacturing and distribution.
@@jacobblanton5179 You make it sound just like the gaming industry when it comes to repackaging yearly franchises.
They might fool some people once or even twice, but they've done this too many times now.
We're on to them, though.
That's almost as bad as how many different box sets of Star Wars are floating around in various states of Special Edition molestation.
I'm calling my cousin and telling him to abandon the Funimation dubbings
Don't you find it interesting how we can fit a massive open world game like the Witcher 3 on one Blu-ray disc, but we need like a dozen for the dragon ball series.
True
If the Vic situation didn't tip you off, Funi doesn't give a damn about Dragon Ball Fans.
i clicked on this 10 second after you upload, praise me flash
How is fuckemation still a thing?
Because it's the only way we'll get to finish fairytail...
theyre still the biggest english dubbing anime company but they do ruin more less known anime with their dubbed part so thats what pisses me off i wish that another english dub company would take thoes anime shows instead
billyhatcher643 and that’s the problem just take out this whole Vic thing who would you give your anime to a big company like Funimation wear more people would see it or a smaller company like viz when less people would see it
Joseph Brooks I know that I’m just pointing out how companies choose who their giving their shows to
People like to watch anime on funimation and thats why
Remember kids, just say no to funimation.
Wow, who didnt see that coming? Funimation hasn't done anything right all year and not just with all of the Vic Mignogna incident.
Dragon Ball has been done so dirty in so many ways in its 30th anniversary and that is really sad.
Funny how they can put out so many good DVD and Blu-ray releases but for some reason can't get DBZ right.
First mistake was not using the Bruce Falconer score
Leo they legally can’t anymore unfortunately because they pissed off bruce
Malik Alasa damn... these are dark times
This is just disappointing that a company that got me into the franchise with DBZ Kai is just this grimy. First Vic and now this crappy box set. At this point, maybe the license should be given to someone else because this is just a scam
Honestly, I've been sick to death if this milking of the Dragon Ball franchise. This comes as no surprise that now their just being lazy and greedy.
We need desperately someone else to secure distribution rights to the Dragon Ball franchise. Who do you think it should be?
Can't wait for anime ajay to get pissed off again. Love hearing his passionate anger over this
6:25 Actually, the image on the left is the Dragon Boxes, which was remastered frame by frame from the original 16mm film, but with no color correction.
Meh - I'll just watch the abridged series again
I've got the Kai blu ray version with the Bruce Faulconer score, found it somewhere on the internet like 2 years ago. For me this is the best version and it's a fan made one.... So in other words... Fans make better versions than Funimation.
As far as I'm concerned the dragon boxes are the definitive versions of the series. Unfortunately they are hard to find and extremely overpriced.
Why do I need a special features knowing all the behind scenes is all fake and full of backstabbers
I was 6 years old when dbz was broadcasted in France in the late 80's and believe me or not, i've still most of the sayan, namek, cell and boo arcs recorded on vhs.
That funimation collector is even worthless to me 😘
I would like to note: Piccolo isn't *supposed* to be light green indefinitely, it depends on how the colors were on the animation cels, which surprisingly are *very* bad looking at times color wise at least, there are instances with Goku having a blood red gi despite the fact that it needs to be more orange. And another important thing: The Dragon Boxes are NOT accurate color wise to how it's supposed to look, due to the fact that it used Toei's original filmprints, which in 2003 when they released in Japan, was already very degraded. Kai is also not accurate because of how inconsistent the colors are overall. The closest Dragon Ball Z home release color wise when it comes to comparing it to the Original Japanese Broadcast is the Level Sets, which *at times* look IDENTICAL color wise, so use the Level Sets as reference points for color.
all the fucking have to do is just give us a collection of LEVEL sets. that's it. no cropping. not shitty process to get rid of the grain. released in reasonable-sized chunks of episodes, let people who want the US broadcast audio to have that as an option. it shouldn't be this fucking hard
Next year, Funimation will lessen the grain and release as 'improved' edition.
Here's my idea.
Let's not buy any of the Funimation Merch and hope that it would start a boycott and just watch the e-z way of watching our anime shows on the streaming websites. Take my advice and make it happen!
Just order the original Japanese ones. Much more collection worthy.
Funimation shall not have my $350 or anyone's $... Not worth it. We deserve better than what Funi produces at this point...
i honestly was expecting an animated tribute video like the one DC did for superman's 75th anniversary
Sound like illegal handling of Product, false advertisement, and another lawsuit heading Funimation's way as soon as one of these customers actually grows some balls
"Funimation TRASH!"
thats all you needed to say
There are no gifts under the Christmas tree this year for many reasons....but one of them is products just aren’t up to quality to tempt a purchase. It’s really quite sad.
Ain’t I glad I didn’t waste my money on this now
Engagement points!
I am really hoping Funi loses the license for Dragonball, everything they do and have done is deplorable. Half effort on a collector's item and many trash humans in their employ.
Look at all those people bidding on overpriced versions of this trash. *Laughs in dragon box*
Laughs in superior quality torrent than DBox
Dimitri Rodriguez Link to torrent?
Now you got me interested. Im missing the 2nd vegeta set. So a link would help.
@@LapisAndroid17ParkRanger Ya its called Google
Why not just release the "Lazy box" and give the fans unedited 4:3 footage? Its by far the easiest, laziest, way they could do this. Plus, its exactly what the fans want.
I think dragon ball z deserves a better birthday present than this.
People who knew better tried to warm these buyers, but they didn't listen, that's on them.
Me: **Sees title**
Also me: You say that like it isn't obvious.
I mean.. We're talking about a company that constantly shits on the franchise with immense context changes. To expect GOOD THINGS would be like sprinting into a mine field for half an hour and expecting to walk away in one piece.
Also, just a side note, /watch?v=xFK7mDVqOlg
I saw nano un-box this. And i started loughing my ass off when i saw the content of the box. 😂 Imagine people genuinely buying this because they think they get the value
@Sightless_Seeker Those two things don't even belong in the same sentence
Fans: We want the original master tapes of Dragon ball Z!
Funimation: So double cropped with fake grain?
I've always liked DB over DBZ. I think it has a better storyline.
Had more variety too. DB is really good.
Db was the shit z became so boring.
Christopher Budd
I agree Z focused way too much on the Saiyans everyone else was irrelevant for the most part
I wish TOEI and other japanese companies would just take back the rights and just create a wing that subtitles and dubs shows. Just cut out the middleman. These companies they license to are just tarnishing their reputation and the reputation of their shows.
2 words
F*ck That.
I can get most of that shít at my local flea market and it's probably better quality
After I watched that video, I cancelled my pre-order immediately.
So glad I did.
Totally not worth it.
Wish geekdom would make a video about this
He won't,he already said It was bad when It was announced.
YellowFlash 2, I just want to personally thank you for keeping us up to date with everything as I'd have no idea what funimation (and their actors) would be doing behind the scenes without your videos. I'd most likely of bought this collectors edition if it wasn't for your news reports about their shady goings on.
You're awesome! Keep it up!
I never thought I'd see the day when I would wish for Funimation to go under. I hate they made me feel this way.
6:01 That's not the Orange Bricks, that's the Dragon Box on the left, you can tell by the green-ish sky, which you see very often on the set, as well as the fact that the left and the right have the same aspect ratio as you can see, but the Orange Bricks and 30th anniversary Blu-Ray have different aspect ratios.
Imagine still trusting Funi
Every Collecters edition that’s ever been made is a ripoff
Ok so I guess we will never get the perfect editions
If yall didn't become cheap once the level sets came out we wouldn't have this problem
@@gambeano or maybe they should of put it out at a good time instead they released the level sets when the dragon boxes were still fresh and new so blaming the fans for being cheap is bullshit.
They've been doing Dragon Ball dirty for 25 years, so this doesn't surprise me. They know people will buy this shit up no matter what, so they do things half-assed and cut corners. I was really excited when they first announced this set because I knew how much potential it had. Then they go and screw it all up again. I'm just glad I have the Dragon Boxes (which are still inferior to the ones from Japan for the record).
The hell dude....? You wanna sell it for 1,000 or higher you gotta wait a few years.
This ain't when twinkies died and people suddenly had a crippling need for one. Lol
Re-release the Dragonboxes. Literal perfect Dragonball.
Out of curiosity, is there a collection of the Ocean Dub available? After the Vic Mignogna situation I have been wanting a cleansing of sorts. On our TV station over here back in the day when DBZ was the hottest new thing, we started off With ocean, then there was a voice change partially through Namek(Mainly Goku and Vegeta). The original Vegeta got reinstated during the Android saga but Sean Schemmel stayed. I want to rewatch the Ocean Dub to cleanse meself of the lies and deciet from the current dub cast of Dragon Ball. I feel like I betrayed the Ocean Dub, and the the Vic Mignogna situation proves this. Goku became a lie to me and its Sean Schemmels fault, the funimation cast have in turn, betrayed me and so many others. I'm sorry Vic, sorry for not digging deeper about the voice change and for being ignorant of the truth behind Chris Sabat and company, I just gotta put that out there. I should find Vic on social media to apologise to him there, actually. I wonder if he has Facebook?
Well actually, the original Vegeta, Brian Drummond, didn't get reinstated during the Artificial Human saga, that was just Chris Sabat doing an impersonation of him (and a bad one at that). But, to answer your question about an Ocean collection, yes, there is. It's called: Dragon Ball Z: The Rock The Dragon Edition, it came out in 2013. It was released by Funi and contains all 53 episodes, plus the Toonami versions of the first three movies. It's was a collectors item so they didn't make many of them and they're out of print now, just like the Dragon Boxes. It actually has the uncensored versions of episodes 1, 2 & 3 where they mention death instead of "being sent to another dimension". It doesn't have the next episode preview for episode 10 because they skipped in on the original syndication run, both episode 9 & 10 have the preview for episode 11 because of this, you can only get the preview for episode 10 on the Australian Madman dvd singles. It's the first, and only time the 1997 Saban dub of The Tree Of Might has been released on dvd, the one with the funny censored Gohan and Ian James Corlett as Goku, rather than the uncut version with Peter Kelamis. It comes with a book that talks about the history of the dub and its impact on pop culture, its censorship, and all sorts of other cool stuff. Well, actually, it doesn't come with a book, it IS a book, the discs are in the last pages of it, stored in cardboard like the 30th Anniversary set so your discs might have some scratches, but not as bad as the 30th Anniversary set I assure you, plus it's a might, not a definite. Since it's out of print it'll go for a high price, but if you have the cash then go for it, it's worth it. There is no Japanese audio, but that's okay, that wasn't the point of the set, it's pretty much Funi's only other great release beside the Dragon Boxes and the Level Sets. Big plus, it's in 4:3, exactly how it ran on syndication, exactly how it was seen on Cartoon Network's Toonami block, just like in 1996. If you're that big a fan of Ocean's cast, like me, then this is right up your alley so go for it.
@@bleedingfromtheanus240 Yeah, Peter Kalamis, Brian Drummond and Scott McNeil are my BIG 3, of Dragon Ball Z. The episode when Piccolo fought 17... OMFG!..... He was like Bruce Lee on a MAJOR HIGH! Scott McNeil's vocal range is so impressive and Brian Drummond is so Snake-like in his performance, but when he screamed and also when his voice deepens as he angrily, he just sound psychotic. Peyer sounds like the all around nice guy in his performance. But to his credit, he was my first Goku but for me, lasted til the voice change on Namek. The episode when Frieza assume his James Cameron's Alien-like form was the last one before the voice change. But know this, during the Android Saga, Brian Drummond was reinstated for us over here. I live in Ireland, so things were different for us and Vegeta's return to true form was GLORIOUS!]XD
I could never stand the Ocean versions, but I just cannot bare to hear the Funi voices knowing how big of assholes they are. I watched Super since 2015 on livestream so I am now used to the japanese voices honestly, Naowaza is my Goku for all I am concerned.
@@atmosrex7126 I personally cannot take to the Japanese Goku. He just doesn't sound right. That said, the Actress in question is not a scumbag like Sean Shemmel, right?
And as for Japanese Goku, Masako Nozawa isn't a scumbag thankfully. I'd highly recommend watching the Japanese version of the original Dragon Ball and continuing all the way through the franchise, you'll get used to the voices and even prefer them, the series creator Akira Toriyama personally handpicked Nozawa to be the voice of Goku, and going from Kid Goku to adult Goku, you really get to hear how much more mature she makes Goku sound during his adulthood after deepening her voice. Trust me, you'll love Freeza's voice. Again, start off with the original Dragon Ball, the go to Z and the movies, TV Specials and the Plan To Eradicate The Saiyans OVA on kissanime, you can also watch the original Dragon Ball movies too, GT and its TV Special, then the 2008 OVA, you don't need to watch Episode Of Bardock but you can if you want to, then Battle Of Gods and Revival Of F, then Dragon Ball Super, and then Super Broly. Try to find Dragon Ball, Z and GT in Dragon Box quality online, you can buy the Dragon Boxes for Z if you have the money. Trust me, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the series like me.
Only collection worth having is the Dragon Box collection. Far more pros than cons. True 4:3, uncropped, all detail visible. Only cons is the color is a tad bit muted but, nothing, and the audio output not being the best, but other than that, the Dragon Box is undefeated.
I did not even order this and I feel scammed.
I hope Toei makes Dragon Box Blu Ray. No DNR except a tiny amount maybe, dust cleanup, etc. Just one last ride Toei, please...
i still think the RE:zero release is worse than this over priced set
6:38 Android 18 is cut in half...
“That’s just Funi”
Back in the day I paid about $100 for a guy to make ALL of Dragonball, DBZ, GT, and the Movies, all on a collection of VHS tapes, and the artwork he put together for every one was excellent. You put all the tapes together and they even formed pictures. It was just something I bought to decorate the room though, they weren't a collection or anything.
You think they would learn to actually try, especially after all of the scrutiny they are under due to the Vic thing
Also, hope you break that 100k soon :P
That's really sad. I seriously considered buying this as a birthday present to myself. I'm glad I hesitated.
This guy is giving hearts to everyone... but me
This guy is giving hearts to everyone... but me
I prefer dark green Piccolo tbh, I don't really like how "colorful" Kai looks.
This is really insulting to Toei, and they are missing out on big money from all of this.
I want to offer a few pieces of information from what I know through forums and the fact that I own this piece of crap: the first 4 episodes have rather excessive cropping (actually only the first episode has excessive cropping, episodes 2-4 just has odd frame adjustment at times), but episode 5 and onwards are completely fine, there is most certainly no censorship as the footage has been uncut since 2007 with the Orange Bricks, and the grain is indeed artificial as evident as early as FUNimation's blog post in April which showcases how their remastering process actually caused detail to be lost in certain scenes due to heavy DNR.
In case anyone's wondering why I own this crap, it's because I linked the page to my grandparents so they wouldn't waste over a thousand dollars or so on getting me the FUNimation Dragon Boxes again after they were stolen from me over three years ago.
Why spend any dollar on dvds when i can watch it all on the internet for free
eBay scalpers should be illegal 😤
we need to start a bootlegging operation at this point
wow , just wow i shouldn't be surprised but damn that is messed up to spend that kind of money and get a shyt product they really need to be reported to the BBB cause this is really crappy and shady business practice. Customers should not be treated like this.
See ya in 10yrs when it’s time for that 40th anniversary version lol
Fun Fact : The OG Dragon Ball came out in 1963. It's pretty much *_the_* Shonen Jump anime.
I still can't understand why people like Dragon Ball so much... It's basically the same thing every arc. Goku yelling, new transformation, he wins.
Dragon Ball Super is basically the same thing, but instead of long hair is colored hair.
People still give Funimation money? Have they learned nothing from the early dub issues like decades ago?
What people love the most from Funimation are line delivery and Bruce Falconer music,so they big nostalgia for It.
The orange bircks dvds and blue rays should of been 4:3 in the fucking first place!
Seriously how hard is it to do a proper collectors edition for this property? They keep milking it and never give the fans what they actually want. I hope Viz Media gets the DB franchise because I’d bet they actually respect it as more than a cash cow.
Funimation piccolo looks like a cucumber. Jesus.
Give the rights to Warner Archive, they did a fantastic job with the current Popeye Blu-rays, uncrowned and scanned in 4K!
It's a shame that they are treating a show that was so pivotal to the success of anime in the west this poorly. I wonder if Naruto will get the same treatment. Naruto fans seem to be as rabid.
Actually the naruto uncut boxsets were pretty solid.
