I'm glad they started airing them again. Sucks that they no longer air it anymore, but they had to make room for other shows.

i love the dragon ball series its amazing and when i was at the begining of high school it always made coming home so fun me and my mate would use to run hom eand press record on the vcr player i got the first saga on video but the series did drag out a bit but it was good none of the less and i never got to see much of the last saga it looked pretty good with majin boo but my fav would have to be the namik saga with freeeza and the first apperance of goku in super saiyen form

Holy crap, this is an old thread!

I watch the show a while ago. Every episode and almost every movie. When I was a little kid, I wished that I could to that stuff too. Playing make believe with friends, being just a kid again...

Yea, actually played the card game a long time ago, only the DBZ version. I was unbeatable and virtually unmatched. A red deck with insain combos. I decided to off balance my deck to give my friends a chance to beat me just for a chalange, but it didn't help them much. The only thing I really wanted in the CCG was a complete Gohan Set, Levels 2 and 3, I had all the rest... But that's old news and I retired from the game.

How old is the series?

Bleachfangirl · 07-24-2007, 05:21 PM

DBZ? Ahhh...that brings back good memories. I loved that show as a little kid. I would go around the playground telling all my 7 year old friends to go watch it. I love GOHAN! I never got to watch the whole series because it was so long. By the time I was really serious about DBZ, they were showing reruns on cartoon network. I read the manga parts that I missed though, so I pretty much know the whole story of DBZ. DB or DBGT is a whole other story. I can't find all of DBZ on DVD though.

Actually they're remastering the whole series now completely uncut and re-recording all the voices so that old Vegeta voice won't sound so gay, plus it's in widescreen. I believe it's out right now and was wondering if anybody has seen it yet and how it matches up... I have one of the old Boxed sets of the first part of the Buu Saga however I never got around to getting the last box. I skimmed through the first Episodes but I never watched them in their entirety, might consider getting the remakes at som point.

If you are a purist about visual quality, you won't like it. The widescreen crop ruins a lot of the fight scenes. One of the trademarks of the series was a character on the ground, looking up in the air. Now, they have to choose to pan to one or the other.

I don't even watch anime, but I love this show. I don't know why.

Yeah, I was wondering how they were going to do widescreen on a show that was never shown in widescreen. So Funimation still manages to screw up DBZ while saying that it is the original version. If it was the original they would not be showing it in widescreen. But I guess aside from that point it could be at least a good buy in that it has a large volume of episodes together in one pack. Just makes me wonder how much it is and if it is worth that price tag.

I haven't seen DBZ in years and I'm watching the Cell Saga on Toonami right now. I probably would not be if it was like seven year ago or something. But enough time has passed and I've mellowed some on my annoyance of DBZ. I could see myself wanting to get the first Saga. The first three Sagas were not bad, it just got messed up once Buu entered the picture.

Actually it would depend on the hard copy ie if the original hard copy was slightly longer than shown on TV which seems quite possibly because I've seen old stuff of normally TV (We have a wide screen) which was made well before widescreen came out and it fits perfectly. I dunno what they stated but it really depends on the dimensions of the original, I don't think it'd work well if they had to crop everything.

Well, it was filmed in 4:3. However, Funimation had some screenshots that showed how they managed to add to the screen, supposedly.

They are cutting the top and bottom from what is usually overscan (4:3 TVs zoom into the screen, losing material on all sides. They say that they cut the top and bottom because of the damage to the film. I don't have a link to them, but the two screenshots looked cherry-picked.

You gain and you lose some. Still not as it was originally intended.

the best animation is organs detenator eish its cool

Crazy Chocobo · 10-13-2007, 04:32 PM

Uhh.. what?

I haven't seen any episodes of Dragon Ball Z for so long, they barely show it on Cartoon Network over here anymore. I have been in the mood to watch it again as well! I suppose I will have to buy the DVD's to be able to do so. Instead I have been playing the games and it has been a blast, I only have the two of them Budokai 1 & 2. I was thinking of getting the new DBZ game for the Wii when it comes out here, it looks awesome!

That's silly how they are re-mastering the show in wide screen though, you lose a fair bit of picture from that. Why can't they just leave it be?

It was better left alone in my opinion but oh well. I suppose it'll still be alright.. maybe.

ive seen a subtitled episode where vegita (SP) dropped the F-bomb every 20 or so seconds. i know the subtitles could of been altered but was just curious if anyone else had seen them.
