Dragon Ball Z: Season 1 [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Franko has said that due to a small budget and short schedule, he and his team were not able to do a complete and thorough job of the transfer. Due to the DVNR automatic process used to clean the prints, while it does greatly clear large amounts of dirt and grain, it accidentally blurs detail. Another effect is that, when the picture shakes, lines of detail are lost. Selected items are only available for delivery via the Royal Mail 48® service and other items are available for delivery using this service for a charge. Descendants of the Red Ribbon Army's sinister leaders have renewed their quest for world domination. As their two ultra-powerful androids seek their own brand of justice against Earth's heroes, Piccolo and Gohan, must push their powers to new limits! (less)

The scene where Bulma escapes from the cave to steal the Dragon Balls was completely redubbed, possibly owing to the master recordings being lost or too damaged to use. Other small changes were made to the script. All other scenes with Bulma were left completely intact. This set contains the remainder of the Red Ribbon Army Saga and the General Blue Saga. Episodes 58-61 are part of the Commander Red Saga. There are little changes, though the Pirate Robot's filter was removed from the episodes it featured and the voice left at its original pitch. Kyle Hebert replaces Dale Kelly as the narrator. Dale Kelly voiced the narrator originally, but Kyle Hebert took over the role beginning with the Great Saiyaman saga, and later narrated the uncut version of the first 67 episodes. (Hebert's redubbed narration was first heard on the Cell Games Saga DVDs starting with Volume 50: Guardian's Return) Christopher Sabat redubs Mike McFarland as Mez when the Ginyu Force falls into Hell. Mark Britten is retained as Goz. Cover characters: Dr. Gero, Krillin, Vegeta, Android 17, Tien Shinhan, and one Cell Jr. Episode count [ ]

The restored footage was then laid out tape-to-tape at 1080p. The series was telecined at an aspect ratio of 16:9, re-conforming it from its original 4:3 aspect ratio. This allegedly helped to eliminate some of the grain and glue on the top and bottom of the picture and added more image to the left and right than any previous standard definition transfer, but also removed footage from the vertical aspect. The decision to crop the picture was FUNimation's decision, not Franko's. Another note is that in the episodes " Memories of Gohan", " Save the World", " Goku's Decision", and " One More Wish", Mark Britten's voice for Ox-King is left intact. Kyle Hebert still redubbed him in most episodes, but not the four listed. Captain Ginyu's croaking in the first-mentioned of those episodes is still performed by Dale Kelly despite Brice Armstrong redubbing most of his material. Fortuneteller Baba's appearance is left intact with Laurie Steele instead of Linda Young redubbing over it. First off the figure that came with this anniversary set is EXCELLENT and couldn't of asked for more. Sits right on my shelf above my PC. The outer case for the Blu-rays is very good with a silver Shenron on the front side - would've been excellent if it wrapped around the box in full. The artbook is massive and has a superb collection of artwork of all the favourite scenes and characters from DBZ - could've had some description and lore added but its an artbook so i can understand This set contains the Emperor Pilaf Saga and the Tournament Saga. Episodes 29-31 are part of the Red Ribbon Army Saga. This DVD set marks the region 1 debut of the uncut version of Episodes 1-13. While there's no redubbing like the Dragon Ball Z sets, there are some minor alterations. For instance, Fighter 69 from the Tournament Saga had his voice pitched down in the original release, whereas here it is kept at its original pitch. Also, the filter on Great Ape Goku's roars was removed and is now heard as it was originally recorded.

Unlike the Captain Ginyu Saga, the Frieza Saga does not receive extensive redubbing. Chris Forbis continues to revise portions of Christopher Neel's original script. John Burgmeier replaces Chris Cason and Lane Pianta as Tien Shinhan for the entire season. Burgmeier also replaced Cason as Gregory when he gets roughed up by the Ginyu Force in episode 92. Starring: Masako Nozawa , Ryō Horikawa , Masakazu Morita , Kôichi Yamadera , Toshio Furukawa , Hiromi Tsuru

It has also been said that FUNimation lied in the featurette, Dragon Ball Z Rebirth. At one point, there is a comparison between original film print and "remastered" print. Some have noted that the original film print side is still the "remastered" frame, just sped up to reveal grain. A reason for this may be that FUNimation just created that side to show the audience how the prints did somewhat look alike. Telling from the original frame on top, the picture is most likely that of how it was portrayed. Minor changes were made to Christopher Neel's original script, sometimes replacing less-mature sounding dialog, and dialogue that may have sounded awkward in the original version. Example: Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.

Several additional characters were also given a redub by various voice actors. Stephanie Nadolny reprised her role as Bulma's electronic diary for a redubbed scene. The three Warrior Namekians originally voiced by Sonny Strait in " Frieza Approaches" were redubbed by Gordon Holey, Mark Lancaster, and Brandon Potter. Two of Frieza's soldiers from " Calling the Eternal Dragon", also previously voiced by Strait, were redubbed by Anthony Bowling and Phil Parsons respectively. Dragon Ball tells the tale of a young warrior by the name of Son Goku, a young peculiar boy with a tail who embarks on a quest to become stronger and learns of the Dragon Balls, when, once all 7 are gathered, grant any wish of choice. (less)Stephanie Nadolny redubs most of her work as Gohan with the exception of two lines (one where he has the Dragon Radar out after Burter and Recoome's demise, and another when he's sitting on the Dragon Balls outside Freiza's ship). This set contains the Babidi Saga and the Majin Buu Saga. Very little redubbing is present in this set, such as Kyle Hebert redubbing Chris Sabat as Ox King. 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. Also his incredibly high-pitched scream when used his Angry Explosion and the higher pitched scream effect he did when he got blow up by Majin Vegeta are removed. The echo effect on Babidi's voice when he's telepathically speaking to the Earth's population is gone as well. Also, in "Buu is Hatched", Goku and Majin Vegeta staring at each other has added dialogue they think in their minds. Goku said "His moves are incredible!" while Majin Vegeta said "Finally I'm going to tear him apart!". Though it's highly likely that the lines were recorded in 2001, just like all the other lines that aren't redubbed due to the voices themselves being not really different. Once again, Duncan Brannan's performance as Baba has been left untouched.

It's possible Funimation still has some portion of OG Dragon Ball on film. They definitely disposed of at least some of their prints, but we don't know if it was all of it. It is also possible (though not especially likely) that Funimation did a transfer of DB at the same time as they transferred Z for the Levels and Season Blu-rays as a "just in case" thing before disposing of the film.Christopher Sabat redubs portions of his work as Kami and replaces Chris Forbis for his appearances in Episodes 76-77. Pretty much, from Funimation's side they've been acting as if original Dragon Ball doesn't exist for over a decade now. I would preffer for DB to be on a reliable streaming, like disney plus and that they include it in japanese.
