![]() My FINAL thoughts: I'll just buy the Blu-rays and aim for the collectible box version. ![]() I'll still pick up some singles here and there, maybe even Z Buu Arc to have 4:3 with that and with Kai 1.0 for Saiyan to Cell Arc. It can be 300-500 on ebay depending on condition.ĭon't know if the mods will like me constantly updating my thoughts on which Z release to own so I apologize, but after losing an auction for my desired Dragon Boxes as well as looking at the insane prices - I think I'll abandon my plans of the singles and DBoxes for now when money is tight anyway and can be spent on much cheaper things. Volume 2 is by far the rarest and most expensive. On your second note i'm not sure if their streaming version is the proper 4:3 or not. Now i have nearly all of them sans Box 4, talk about lucky but it's been a long process for sure. Funny enough my copy of Dragon Box 1 was just over $20 used at a movie store and that was one hell of a find if i do say so myself. Same here, i have been gradually buying them all over time and that's been mostly with finding good deals after much searching online with eBay auctions that aren't ridiculously overpriced. Is there any way to stream 4:3 DBZ? I highly doubt it, but does FuniNow have 4:3 DBZ? Hey, with digital becoming bigger than physical - Maybe Funimation will put DBZ Dragon Box 4:3 quality as an option on FuniNow to further sell their streaming service? Then, everyone wins (except physical media collectors like me but oh well) Sad that DBZ fans have to resort to this sort of thinking, but whatever. Honestly, I'm just glad I found a way to somewhat cheat Funimation's system and gradually not instantly, build up my desired DBZ collection. Man, if you look thtoughout all these forums - You can see my development in terms of how I plan to get the home releases. If you're looking to get everything for a complete 4:3 collection of Z then Dragon Boxes 1 and 2 are essential, seeing as the first 67 episodes are only available uncut and complete which no other release of the series by FUNi has.Īlrighty then, this is the new plan. The first two Dragon Boxes to cover primarily the first 67 episodes/first part of Freeza arc and the singles continuing onward for the rest of the series. You could definitely do that, because good deals can be found for the Dragon Boxes in the wild every now and then so Boxes 1 and 2 can most likely be had and then gradually get the singles through Amazon and eBay as those can be found more or less at decent prices as well. If you're looking to collect everything for a complete run of Z in proper 4:3 then Dragon Boxes 1 and 2 are essential, seeing as the first 67 episodes are only available uncut/bilingual and complete there which no other release of the series by FUNi has. The first two Dragon Boxes to cover primarily the first 67 episodes/first part of Freeza and the singles continuing onward for the rest of the series. Then after that gradually get the singles through Amazon and eBay as those can all be found more or less at decent prices as well. You could definitely do that, because good deals can be found for the Dragon Boxes in the wild every now and then so volumes 1 and 2 can most likely be had for non ridiculous prices if you search enough. If this is true, I'll abandon my plan of getting the Season Set Blu-rays. I figure if I can at least get the first 2 DBoxes for uncut Japanese DBZ, from there I can collect the singles over the years instead of at once. Update: Is this a good way to own DBZ in its original aspect ratio and quality - on a budget? Someone please answer. I would ask if there's a not legal way to watch the DBZ Dragon Box version of the series, but I know that's a big no-no here. I just can't bring myself to buy the Season Sets since apparently, everyone says they're complete and utter crap. Honestly at this point, I'll probably just recomplete my Kai collection (even with 2.0's tint and 16:9?) and accept it was the best possible way to own Z alongside my DB and GT sets, despite wanting the authentic '89-96 Z experience with Cha-La and We Gotta Power. Does FuniNow or any streaming service use the Dragon Box quality? I even bid on the first 3 DBZ Dragon Boxes on ebay but I doubt I'll win it and they're too costly anyway at this point. So, the question is: Is there a legal way to watch DBZ the best way possible? Ideally, I would like to own it but Funimation has made that difficult by not having a cheap enough home release to do so. Even I know it enough now thanks to AnimeAjay's resourceful videos. In all honesty, it's DBZ's 30th anniversary and Funimation is not putting out a good enough ptoduct to celebrate. 4:3! With grain! No cropping! No saturation and original colors! The stuff of fairy tale dreams, I know.
