FUNimation constantly screws up DVD releases of DBZ here. Their newest attempt is no different, but the topic's been beat to a pulp. Basically, instead of properly restoring the 4:3 image, they cropped it to 16:9, creating an "awesome widescreen" version of DBZ with missing picture tops and bottoms instead of properly restored ones. The Dragonbox DVD releases in Japan made by Toei Animation have a fully restored print of DBZ, but are only in Japanese. Whatever, backstory is annoying and boring. I'm buying every single episode of DBZ from both the Dragonbox collections and the crappy US FUNimation collections, and putting my 1337 DVD authoring skills to use in order to take the audio from both sets, the picture from the Japanese set, and the subtitles from the English set, along with extras and menus from both, in order to create a super mega ultra DBZ DVD collection. There's 293 episodes of DBZ; American "season" box sets cost $30 (about 40 episodes), and Dragonbox discs are $30, with only 6 episodes. It's going to cost me $1500 to do this, ignoring the cost of any blank media I'll need. I'm crazy.
