Everyone is basing their opinions on that stupid picture of Gohan. Who is to say that isn’t a fake?

It is not just that picture. On the forums at daizex.com there are a great deal of screenshots showing how bad the cropping is, including some comparisons with the Japanese Dragon Box releases.
And who is to say it is a fake?

How can it be the worst release of DBZ ever ?

We are getting more footage than ever
We are getting the English and Japanese audio
We are getting more special features
The discs will be in fat packs so they wont need a lot of shelving.
The series will be shone consistently from beginning tyo end.
We can watch it with English voice actors and Japanese sound track. and vies versa.

What the hell are you complaining about MMG? This wide screen issue is one con verses 6 pros.

1. We're getting only a little bit more footage since they're cutting the top and bottom...and the footage we're now getting was not originally meant to be viewed anyway.
2. Big woop. They didn't need to make it widescreen to do that.
3. Since when does special features drive a purchase?
4. And only an idiot would worry abot shelf space
5. It's funimation. They haven't done it yet with dbz, and who says they ever will.
6. Not much of a big woop there. They didn't need to make it widescreen for that purpose.

Let me ask you this, if I released a movie, cut half the video and added alot of features, more audio and cool gifts, would it be good? No, cause what matters is what you see, not all the stuff they add in as a way to justify jacking prices up. But according to your logic, it would be good, because it's only one con, and all cons seem to weigh the same in your mind.

Mr popo wrote:

FUNimation are putting it in Wide screen so that we can see extra footage, by doing this they will get a bigger audience Who wants to watch the same series again with little change. At the beginning I was annoyed about this but I have leant to except it. I suggest you do the same. There are some things in life that don’t run smoothly.

What you have yet to realise is that this 'extra' footage was never really intended to have been viewable in the first place.
You know what extra footage we're going to see? A few more knuckles on a hand and more of the background...at the cost of half a face and hair.
Seems fair don't it?

Mr popo wrote:

They will now be releasing it consistently from beginning to end. After this release the series will be perfect. The WS issue is part of the series now, you will need to either put up with it or watch something else.

You really think funimation will finish this eh? Their word means peanuts right now with DBZ.
And even if they do, it's now all gonna be f'ed up because dragonball is 4:3, and gt is 4:3, and dbz is now going to be a craped 16:9.

Mr popo wrote:

You are forgetting about the ocean blue versions. Surly you can admit that these versions are better than them

Trust me, I tried hard, I really did, but the words couldn't come out.

Mr popo wrote:

How about you actually watch these versions before making a statement like that. They must be good. FUNimation wouldn't waste all this money on them if they weren't. I stated all the good reasons before,I don't know what else you are expecting from a series. Tell me another series in which you can select the sound track.

Funimation wouldn't waste their money if they weren't!? Dude, funimation have been milking dbz since the day it was born. The word widescreen means 'new' to the public, and in the end, it's just a ploy for funi to get more people to buy the series, and lure those wanting a more complete thing. Just a shame they forgot to mention it was never meant to be seen as widescreen, and resorted to trimming the main picture for this extra view.

As for another seires which allows changings in soundtracks, well I can't think off the top of my head of one, but it seriously is just another crummy extra tacked on to coy people like you to buy it.

Mr popo wrote:

How about you actually watch the release before making ridiculous statements. If people keep arguing about it there is a chance that it wont be released.

...and the world would be a better place because of it

Mr popo wrote:

No-one has seen the show yet.

Umm, there's deffinately people who have seen it. Dvd companies always like to send early copies out to reviewers, so it's no surprise if others have seen this as well by now.

For all we know the situation may not be as bad as people say. You can still see the characters, the only part you wont see is a bit of hair and feet.

Yajarobe Where!?

Do you have the original picture? The picture that appeared on the 4:3 versions? For all we know it is zooming in on Yagarobi. It could be just a few animation cells before it gets to him, it is probably someone difficult putting that picture up.

Yes I know companies have seen it, but there opinion is biased. In order to get a definite answer you need to wait for fans to see it next week.

I am getting it and I suggest you do the same.

Popo, this may actually surprise you, but I am a fan of DBZ as well! (Gasp away). If you think that the fans opinions matter so much, then mine does too.
The companies are on your side? So far, from what we've heard from reviwewers, fans and whatnot, its negative. So I really doubt that your side is that full.

Yes, let's all raise our glasses to Funimation, and their inability to produce a complete version of DBZ that the fans actually enjoy.

Here's a bucket, cos your words are like vomit.

We aren't being prejudice, it's based on experience, plus the belief this was a stupid idea.
Look. Widescreen. What don't you get that's bad about that word with DBZ? Come on!

We have not seen a single letter arrive even though on the boards people say they have mailed letters. Same goes with the petitions, we have not received a single one. If someone coordinates a real petition and then sends a printed copy up or the letters, thats physical proof that the DBZ Brand Manager can give to the higher ups. The address is still the same: FUNimation Entertainment C/O DBZ Brand Manager 6851 NE Loop 820 Suite 400 Fort Worth, TX 76180 They just need it to say attn DBZ Brand Manager I wont lie itll take a lot of signatures to spend that kind of money again to do a different set. So if people are serious and actually do it cool, but honestly so far its only been complaints on the message boards.

As far as I can tell, you appear to be the only one fighting for this version, you know? I'm not saying we win or anything, but really, your arguing has no point here if none of us agree with it.

they aren't anymore, i converted most forums on the net, into hating widescreen, may the petition and letters speak for them self, we got a hundred signatures in less than a week and it's not even release date yet! we expect them names to show up after release date! lots of us around the globe have mailed hand written letters to funi in protest, we still have to see what happens, most of us don't expect alternate fullscreen sets for a half a year or so, but if we succeed it's all worth it for the long run! _________________ DBZ Fullscreen Petition! started Jan 28th! http://www.petitiononline.com/DBREDO/petition.html

Actually, I do.

It's out of the ending sequence, as is fairly obvious by the subtitles, so odds are lots of people have it.
And no, it's not zooming in on Yajirobe or anything, it's essentially a still image.

YAJIROBE ISN'T THE POINT!! This is what the entire series will look like, whether you like the character or not. Is that so hard to undertsand? If you neglected to notice, as well, they cut off so much from the top and bottom, and barely anything was added to the side. Your argument has failed.

Obviously the original animators cared enough to put him in there. And if he's cropped off here, think how many other places a character would be lost by appearing at the top or bottom of the screen. And if you compare to see how much "extra" footage we get at the sides, it really isn't much compared to how much is missing from the top and bottom. _________________ Insert humorous/thought provoking signature here.

signing an online petition is good and all, but they dont matter in the slightest to funimation. unless you get a bajillon signatures after they've made all their money, they wont give a damn. they have made the widescreen, its coming out in 3 days, and people have pre ordered. they are not gonna just jump outta their executive chairs and make a proper release with no mistakes. look at it from their point of veiw, if they just released it properly the first time, would anyone still be buying it? neigh. there is an easy solution to all of this. if you dont like widescreen on these new sets, just go to a video store and rent the normal dvds with 4:3 and watch em or burn em. if you like it in japanese then watch the dragonboxes. by the way i am pissed off at funimation for doing this kind of thing again, those really bad people edit - be careful who you slander here please....and try not to use a color other than black....my eyes are old and this blue gives me a headache. - s_m _________________ Rock my Dragon.

The subtitles shown match FUNimation's standard region 1 font. It seems unusual that someone attempting to fake an image would include such a small detail when it would be easier to just show an image with no subtitles.
Also note that the image does actually contain small amounts of extra footage on the sides compared to the 4/3 version. If someone were simply cropping the existing DVDs to 16/9 this would not be visible.

Be honest here, the idea that there is some conspiracy to discredit the new box sets is really quite ridiculous.

mmm, maybe I should buy it, you know. I don't quite mind missing half a face or hair every shot to see that one more flower on the side of the road.
It just seems right to crop the top and bottom of an image to make it widescreen, even though it was never meant to be seen that way. It just seems like the way to go. GG Funi, GG. You knifed me good.

These cuts will be in the whole series. Go grab an episode, stick some black strips on the top and bottom, and that's essentially what you're getting, as they're adding jack all to the sides.
How you see this is better is beyond me.

You had good points, but point 4 about the size is FLAWED.

You're point is durely noted, and I apologise if it offended you in some way.
I however do not see the fat packs as a positive point, since not only could have this been done along time ago with the old releases, but buying this lesser image release for the sheer point of disc space is not something I can comprehend.
I'd settle to call it a half good point, since I can bet alot of people would have still bought this if Funi released it disc by disc (just with slightly more eps on each)

The new uncut Vegeta Saga (the one we're one about) is is starting right back at episode 1 again.

As for the vegeta saga box 2, well I'd be inclinced to say that it'll never come out, as madman are intending to basically only release this version of dbz from now on (and same goes for Funimation). As each new saga of the widescreen edition is released, the old stuff will not be printed anymore, and basically, there is no need to release vegeta saga box 2 with the new fandangled widescreen coming out (sarcasm) and Funimation not releasing anymore of that uncut series.

So basically, anyone who bought into the uncut have been majorally rorted.

In the end though it's Funi's fault or ways of getting more profit out of DBZ even when it's on a dying limb nowadays. It is true they could have released it in smaller size packaging and with the other things we wanted. But yeah they just want a little more money from it. I want it for that reason for size issues AND for Japanese episodes for the Freiza, Androids and Cell saga. Quite simple that bit is.

Well personally, despite the widescreen, I will be getting these releases. Despite that Funimation have told at least a dozen lies, there's a dub track with Japanese music and this is also the first time that the majority of the series will be released with a Japanese audio track in Australia. Despite the (very large) con of the widescreen, the pros seem to outweigh this. Or at least, they do for me. (Although, I still wonder, what the HFIL was it that posessed Funimation to release it in widescreen? >_>;;) In the meantime, I've started watching the original DB again to prepare for the experience of DBZ with Japanese BGM. (Watched episode 6 last night. "Not Dragonballs... Not... Dragonballs..." XD) _________________ I am, the Champion of Justice, the Punisher of Evildoers, pose, pose, pose SaiyamanMS!!!

As each new saga of the widescreen edition is released, the old stuff will not be printed anymore, and basically, there is no need to release vegeta saga box 2 with the new fandangled widescreen coming out (sarcasm) and Funimation not releasing anymore of that uncut series.

But still is this new thing gonna be uncut ??

So basically, anyone who bought into the uncut have been majorally rorted.

<3 Madman. Saved me from importing. Thankfully I can finally buy one of my first great anime loves, that I've been putting off for years (excluding the movies), because of the lack of standardised DVDs.

You know that when a discussion breaks down to the point where it's picking apart pieces of other peoples posts and quoting it that it's kind of pointless to continue. Some people will but it, some people won't. Thanks to some obviously hard work from fans we know what is missing and included with this release, so there's no point arguing over it. It's up to each person to decide what they want.

I can't help but feel it ironic that I was just about to say that myself...

Man 3 days away from this thread and it just explodes into a flame war. Can we please keep this topic open as this seems to be quiet a big issue for a lot of people not to mention a large investment for most of us. I think it’s important to keep this topic going as if it’s closed or locked the thread will just die off. Said that from the kami screenshot you can see how badly this whole widescreen fiasco was done, if the decided to move the camera down by a half an inch you would get a lot more of yajirobe face. So we would be loosing more of kamis head and probably half of popo turban but I think that’s a good trade off for a characters face. I am not saying that I am for widescreen, but the impact of widescreen could have been much less if they took the time to do it properly instead of just cropping every frame the same. As for the release coming out tomorrow, some online stores have already shipped out the sets, as one of my friends is importing the firs box to see what it’s going to be like so the kami screen shot was taken from the actual R1 release! Have fun sleeping at night popo thinking it’s the best release ever when it clearly isn’t. I was all for this release until I saw what they have done, now it seems that the only way I am going to get this show in Japanese in 4:3 is to buy the dragon box singles or wait for a HD DVD or Blue Ray release which is probably another 10 f****** years of waiting. _________________ KYO, I’M COMING’ FOR YOU!

And if they don't release this version, they might give us a 4:3 version. Smile
