I think the term “pigs are flying” would be correct for an occasion like this. Never would have anyone thought that FUNimation would decide to release the “true definitive” version of the Dragon Ball Z series, Japan’s Dragon Box Sets. Taken from “out of cold” storage and cleaned frame by frame by Pony Canyon (DVD distributors) to take out as much jitter and grain as possible, it offers the best picture possible, while keeping in mind that some of the grain was inherently part of the image. Even the colors were kept as originally intended, as to not mess with the picture quality. Before any of this had happened, the only possible way of obtaining the series in a consistent form would’ve been through the Dragon Ball Z Season Sets. Even upon its announcement, there was already an apparent problem. The widescreen. All of the Dragon Ball Z anime series was “meant to be seen” in a 4:3 standard TV aspect ratio (Luckily, FUNimation has decided to release Dragon Ball in its original aspect ratio and has already done so for GT). The general argument among the majority consensus was that the full screen wasn’t really needed for most common household widescreen TVs or HDTVs. However, even a full screen aspect ratio can easily on widescreen TVs by simply “stretching” the image without having the loss of image the original animators for the series had intended to be seen. Not to mention the shoddy remastering FUNimation had with earlier season sets after its initial release. They didn’t even do a “frame by frame” job as confirmed until later on after its release. Rather it was a “semi automated” transfer that was occasionally checked for clarity. The colors were saturated as well.

What FUNimation had done was completely unnecessary and created frustration among the hardcore Dragon Ball fan circles which supported the series and had extensive knowledge beyond the confines of its TV Broadcast version. To be fair, the TV broadcast version helped sparked the popularity of anime and beyond despite having to work through horrible dialogue and its subjective use of Falcouner’s music score (which, not surprisingly, has a cult following). That goes to show that Toriyama’s unique designs and genre-hybrid storylines can triumph even while being catered and re-edited for a television airing aimed at what television and FUNi execs deemed viewable for kids and tweens. The season sets were obviously marketed and catered towards the casual and hardcore dub fans alike that grew up watching the series on Cartoon Network. It was extremely successful despite the concerns of a spoken few even before and after its release. Those that grew more extensive in the knowledge of the Dragon Ball mythos and its influence around the world in its original format (be it music, dialogue, script, etc.,) were left out of the limelight for years in past and to come.
Now comes Otakon 2009 and FUNimation makes the announcement to a somewhat confused and frustrated panel audience. The tables have turned. Fans who supported the season sets are either confused or infuriated (or both) for FUNimation releasing yet another version of the series, but this time, done properly. Without all the earlier baseless marketing of the past release. Sure, the price is a bit steep in comparison to the season sets, but with the quality and quantity these sets have to offer, its worth the money. These are for the fans who held out (like myself) until the miniscule possibility had happened for a more proper release. And to all the dub fans who bought the season sets out of the nostalgia and admiration of watching DBZ back on Toonami, this set simply isn’t for you. Let us have a party for a change, huh.

I think the question for now is, Will FUNimation release yet another version of the series? Most likely. With the arrival of Dragon Ball Kai. A compliated, re-edited, and re-recorded widescreen version of Dragon Ball Z that’s currently airing in Japan. The main problem with this series is the Saban-style edits and image cropping that FUNimation did 2 years back. It’s inexcusable even for Toei Animation to do that to their own film. Blu-Ray Box Sets have been announced for the series with possible full screen aspect ratios from what I heard. I have no doubt FUNimation will do a similar release once they get around to it. In the mean time, the Dragon Box Sets are known to be the true definitive version in a DVD format that was available for years in Japan. Now US consumers can get to experience the same quality. If you haven’t bought the series yet, what is there to concerned about? It’s most likely going to be the best box sets available in a DVD format. Dragon Ball Kai may come out soon, but that’s sort of different thing in itself, for good or bad.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: According to FUNimation’s Twitter account, the Dragon Box will have the following audio options, Original JPN version w/ JPN BGM (Mono and default track), and ENG Dub w/ JPN BGM (5.1 Surround Sound Stereo). That’s right, unfortunately for broadcast/Toonami version fans, the Falcouner score will not be included. Having 3 audio tracks would compromise the quality of the video, so I’m pretty sure it was a tough (but smart) decision on FUNimation’s part. If you want the Falcouner score, then you can either buy the Season Sets, or send a letter to FUNimation for an English Dub Dragon Box w/ the Falcouner score. Not making any guarantees it’ll work though.

I have now received my Dragon Box, and it is a very great set! Everything that was advertised about this set is 100% completely true and unless you’re a big fan of the English Dub Music (which this set lacks), this set is a must-buy for Dragon Ball Z fans.
PROS:
- Video quality is EXCELLENT! Very “fresh” and high quality, yet still maintains the same old-school visual appeal
- Is NOT cropped in Fullscreen (or Widescreen if your TV stretches it out)
- Includes both Japanese voices and the Dub (in 5.1 Surround Sound)
- Does not include the English dub music (I am against it, this is just my opinion)
- The quality of the Japanese Mono audio is much more clearer and better than the Remastered Japanese Track
- Packaging is top notch and superb
- The Dragon Book is a very nice collectible, full of info.
- Next Episode Previews!
CONS:
- Disc overlapping
I recommend this set and give it a 10/10 or 5 stars.
