FUNimation, in their endless attempt to "remaster" Dragonball Z, has decided to crop the original print. This means they have cut the top and bottom off of the original 4:3 print so that the image would fill a widescreen 16:9 frame. The end result leaves framed shots of characters' faces being cut off on their forehead, etc. Since they are essentially zooming in on the original 4:3 frame, you will also be losing part of the image, sometimes it's the top of the image and other times it's the bottom, or some mixture of the two (as if zoomed in to the center).
If you own a 4:3 DVD and use the "Zoom" feature of your DVD player on a widescreen TV, you know what I am talking about -- the black bars on the sides become filled, but the top and/or bottom of the image get chopped off!
It may sound like minor nitpicking, but it drastically affects the scope and feel of the films in a very negative way. I do not know if the DVD version presents these movies in the original aspect ratio, but be warned that this BluRay release does not. Do not support FUNimation's decision to ruin two enjoyable movies! Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Why did these have to be first?, January 27, 2008
By Jeff Leadbeater (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews
Dragon Ball Z Movies 8 and 11. These are, by far, the two worst of the 13 Dragon Ball Z movies (and all 18 Dragon Ball movies as a whole). Why did Funimation choose to bring these to the HD format first? These two movies are terrible. Being cropped into widescreen aspect makes them that much worse.
While it's cool and technically correct to bring them to an HD format, since they were originally filmed and not taped and therefore lend themselves to HD capability, forcing them into a widescreen aspect by cropping the top and bottom off is wrong.

So-so transfer...definitely for fans, November 14, 2007
By R. Caymo (California) - See all my reviews
I picked this up yesterday and I must say that I have had so many versions of the Broly series. From VHS to .avi movies then a DVD version that came out some time ago. That being said, this new addition is definitely a step up from the DVD version, in terms of contrast, detail, and vibrancy. My only gripe would be that you can still see the specs and dirt in almost every frame just like in the DVD version, just not so apparent. It is by no means a demo disk, but it is the definitive and best looking DBZ transfer I have ever seen.
All in all, if you are a fan, definitely get this addition, otherwise newcomers, I would not spend on this. (unless you are curious that is.)

Dragonball Z in High Def, January 9, 2008
By Hongster (Fort Lee, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This disc set includes 2 movies for the price of 1 blu ray disc. Each movie is fairly short, hence the reason why 2 were included. I gave it a 4 star based on these values:
1. 2 movies in one disc (+2 stars)
2. Hi Definition audio and visual (+2 stars)
It loses 1 star for the following reason: Cropping and not being "True High Def" This movie was not originally shot in HD therefore the movie was upscaled. Also, original format was in 4:3, not in 16:9 so there are shots that are cut off, though I do not mind but for viewers and the review this can be an annoyance.
Overall I am pleased with the transition. Also, watching Dragonball Z in high def made all the difference for me, so it merits a purchase, unless you already own the movies on DVD. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Dragon Ball Z on Blu-Ray looks wonderful , November 17, 2007
By R. Baldock (Southern California) - See all my reviews
Dragon Ball Z Blu-Ray looks amazing. I was amazed to see how great the video quality can be in high definition. I was disappointed that there wasn't any PCM lossless audio but I still enjoyed it. To anyone who has seen DBZ and still likes it or just want to see how DBZ would look like in high definition I recommend buying this Blu-Ray disc to see how amazing DBZ can really be.

This *IS* the original aspect ratio...but there are other problems, April 19, 2008
By Dave "A casual music listener" (USA) - See all my reviews
This Blu-Ray is actually a double-feature, containing the first two movies of the popular anime series DRAGON BALL Z that involve Broly (there is a third one not featured in this Blu-Ray).
This release is unprecedented in the history of anime as it is one of the first anime titles to be released in a high-definition format, in this case Blu-Ray. As such, you're going to get the best out of this purchase if you own both a Blu-Ray player (such as the Playstation 3) as well as a high-definition TV.
This release is also part of FUNimation's continued effort to put DRAGON BALL Z through a remastering process. This process, which was undertaken by using the original Japanese film negatives, involves removal of old scratches and grain, restoration of the original colors, and a crisp, clear digital restoration of the voices and sound effects for 5.1 surround sound (although 2.0 stereo is available for those without surround sound). The result is an absolutley beautiful 1080p picture and some wonderful sound that quickly warrant a 5/5 review from me.
Having said that, you undoubtedly have read complaints involving the remastering process (which infuriatingly insist on putting the word "remaster" in quotation marks, as if to indicate that the process was a careless, reckless, and efortless attempt). The most frequent of these complaints is the complaint of the original aspect ratio of the picture. Approximatley 20% of the original 4:3 picture (consisting of both the top and bottom portions combined) was eliminated in order to produce the 16:9 widescreen format that this Blu-Ray plays the film in. As a compensation, 10% of the footage that appears on the left and right side, normally absent from 4:3 presentations, appears here. However, many fans have still taken issue with this, arguing that since the picture was originally presented in 4:3, it should also be presented in 4:3 on the Blu-Ray. This arguement deserves some consideration when referring to the remastered DVD season box sets of DRAGON BALL Z by FUNimation (the first parts of the DRAGON BALL Z franchise to be remastered), which were originally presented in 4:3 and, prior to FUNimations' remastering, were never presented in 16:9.
However, the movies are a different story. They actually were originally presented in 16:9, as their first release was in Japanese movie theaters. As such, 16:9 actually *is* the original aspect ratio for the movies, just not for the TV episodes. Just like here, 20% of the vertical image was eliminated. The difference here, though, is that unlike the TV season box sets which also eliminated 20% of the vertical image, the original animators of the DRAGON BALL Z movies knew ahead of time that the movies were going to be presented in 16:9 (because it was in movie theaters), and kept this in mind while animating so that no details of any importance would be lost.
In reality, the only time the movies have seen a 4:3 release are in the first English DVD copies released by FUNimation (these movies have been released before, but without the remastering process). As such, Japan has never seen any kind of release, DVD or otherwise, of the movies in 4:3. So to say that this release is not the original aspect ratio is completley incorrect.
Having said that, I'm not completley satisfied with this release for two reasons. Firstly, the remastering process for the TV season box sets has included an option that allows for the english voices to be heard alongside the original Japanese music in 5.1 surround sound. No such option exists here. The only options are to hear the dub music/English voice combo in either 5.1 surround sound or 2.0 stereo. Considering the storage space offered on Blu-Ray, this is rather baffling.
The second major complaint is that, while the original Japanese voice/Japanese music combo are available (with expertly-translated subtitles by Steve Simmons), they are only available in 1.0 Mono. This is understandable for the DVD releases due to the limited storage space, but Blu-Ray has a whopping 50 GB of storage. There's absolutley no excuse for not remastering the Japanese voices.
Otherwise, though, this release is absolutley incredible. The visual quality of the picture thanks to the remastering process is absolutley incredible, having restored the animation to its original pristine condition, if not better. The acting is also very well-done from both the Japanese and the English voice cast, and many DRAGON BALL Z fans have noted that the English script for this movie, as written by Christopher R. Sabat (the voice of Vegeta and Piccolo) is the most faithful translation FUNimation has ever given a DRAGON BALL Z release. The dub music, while not as good as the original Japanese music, still manages to be lively enough in its own right.
I would absolutley reccomend this purchase, it's worth every dollar and then some. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Broly on Blu Ray, January 1, 2008
By Ian Odom (Gulfport, MS) - See all my reviews
I ordered this Blu Ray the moment I heard it was coming out, I've watched DBZ for years but never bought any of it on VHS or DVD. I decided this would be the one to support, since Funimation is hopefully going BD only. For those interested, I watched the film thru my PS3 connected by a HDMI to DVI cord, and thru a Toslink optical audio output to a Pionner 660W 6.1/7.1 receiver on a Hitachi 42" 1080i plasma. The picture was great, a few scenes were a little 'dirty', but it was only on the top corners of the frame and it was barely noticeable. The DTS audio was heart-attack inducing to say the least. At the price, you can't choose a better set of movies for your Blu Ray collection. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews
