SERIES #15
Fusion

Discs: 76-82 (7 individual volumes)
Episodes: 239-260 English / 254-275 Japanese

AVAILABILITY:

  • Uncut, Bilingual (English / Japanese) with subtitles; English track features FUNimation voice cast & redone musical score
  • Box set release of individual discs available

 
Continuing onwards with their success from before, FUNimation's "remastered" DBZ Season Nine box set saw its release to DVD (entirely replacing the original run of "Series #15" and "Series #16"). Touted as a complete remastering, this release was produced in a (cropped) widescreen presentation with a "remastering" process by Video Post & Transfer in Texas. Despite FUNimation's claims, the set is indeed cropped (missing approximately 20% of its vertical resolution while only gaining approximately 5% of its horizontal resolution), it is not remastered frame-by-frame from its original film, and the color has been adjusted. Of note is the inclusion of a new audio track, featuring FUNimation's traditional voice track (with minor line alterations where appropriate) played alongside the original Japanese musical score. FUNimation continued with this release style for the entirety of the DBZ TV series, marking the first time it had ever received a "consistent" release from beginning to end in North America. This release also negated the original numbering of episodes for their dub, and would provide a complete run of 291 episodes.
