Reminded me alot of that one episode in the Buu Saga when, I think Majin Vegeta and Goku fought and it constantly cut away to Goten and Trunks with one scne of them being dedicated to pissing on a rock.
I watched the entire original Dragon Ball and DBZ from start to finish 3 times, but never noticed the camera movements and slight ripples until yiu mentioned it...
@@cultistaautista It appears the "digital remastering" of the Funimation release of Dragon Ball involved stabilizing the picture, and that may be why any given shot from it has all its sides cropped (zoomed in) compared to the original.
@@redpoint6870 Naw, if it was naruto it would just abandon the entire storyline for about a year and a half. With naruto if you anything under ten fillers in a row consider yourself lucky.
NO REALLY EVEN THE "COMMERCIAL BREAK" TITLE CARDS DID THAT THING WHERE THEY'RE SLIGHTLY ASKEW COMPARED TO ONE ANOTHER I CAN'T EVEN COMPREHEND HOW YOU DID THIS
Not needless. Japan doesn't have seasons like they to in America. Most shows have 13-22 episodes. Then they stop. Japan, Dragon Ball in particular makes episode after episode continuously. Every flashback episode is because the next script wasn't finished in time so they need to fill an episode. They are animating as fast as they can but the demands are too high. So episodes are drawn out. Long establishing shots, stare downs. lots of talking between action, all because they are still working on the next fight scene.
Yes, needless. Japan most definitely does have seasons. Those 12-24 episodes that anime series usually has are called seasons. Hero Academia's 3rd season is coming out soon, Attack on Titan's S2 came out last year, Overlord's 2nd season is airing now, fans are still waiting for the 4th season of JoJo. The main reason fillers and dragging out scenes are a thing is because Toei chooses to do Dragonball (and most of their works like One Piece, Toriko, Kindaichi) in a long running manner that forces them in that hectic work schedule instead of producing a 24 episode season and then resuming a new season, thus giving them more time to better pacing and animation quality.
The original Dragonball actually moved along at a pretty quick pace for the most part. It wasn't until DBZ that fights would drag on for 20 to 30 episodes and transformations alone would take an entire episode. I mean DB did 7 arcs in 153 episodes to DBZs 5 arcs in 291 episodes. There is a reason Kai could cut it down to 159 episodes after all.
@Arch Stanton c'mon son, the original score may have had it moments, but it undeniably sounds like a cheesy 70s cartoon. The Faulconer score was one of the biggest improvements in the Funi dub. It fit the tone of the show so much better. Besides, I'd rather be an uncultured swine than a hipster.
@Arch Stanton also, likening all Americans to school shooters or inbreds is elementary bigotry. The worst thing I called you was a hispter, which only a child would be insulted over. I love how triggered you got over such a basic retort.
And the BEST part is episodes AFTER the 5 minute countdown starts, Frieza flat-out says, "I guess I miscalculated. I'll give this old bird 2 more minutes." Which was THEN followed by @ least 5 episodes." Goku and Frieza must have been fighting inside of the Dark Hour. If you look closely at the original DBZ fight footage I think you can see Elizabeth and Thanatos scouring the land for Dragon Balls to resurrect the P3MC.
@juanisabastard That is probably true, but seriously. Off the top of my head, One Piece, Sailor Moon, Pretty Cure, Dragon Ball, Fist of the North Star, and many times even Toriko and Saint Seiya have crazy long episode titles.
@@athing18 If I remember correctly the original titles were long aswell usually (at least that's what I've noticed in One Piece, Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon)
I think it's just used to hype up the viewers. Most of the stuff they do is weekly, so having long titles like that hype up the next episode in the previews.
My favorite part is that sometimes they also include SPOILERS in the very title like "Vegeta dies" "Ikki sacrifices himself to save Shun" you know? lol Or at least the latam dubs do that
The reason for that is it was cell animated so it was essentially they took a bunch of shots of slight movement so if you happened to bump the background you couldn’t get it exactly right so it causes that camera shift a bit. Happens on a lot of cell animated stuff that was rushed like dragon ball z.
@@KALOTO_OFFICAL >Yamcha >Important LAWL. What's he gonna do use wOLf fAnG FiSt when Roshi can destroy the moon in the first tournament LAWL. Super is pretty good don't deny my dude. Give it a year or two and we will probably also have a DVD version with better animations or something.
TheLegless101 I highly doubt they would create completely new animations just for a DVD release lmao. They would have to charge like 100 bucks per handful of episodes.
Now do it One Piece style : freeze the frame on their faces for 2 minutes and a half, say one word, go to the other guy's face, freeze for another 2 minutes.
Jesus those pauses, the looped frames, the middle-of-the-video interruption, the color, the camera movement, the dramatic soundtrack for calm moments, you just nailed it.
The additional pauses, the extra camera-work to hide them, the cutting back to irrelevant characters, the filter, the obnoxiously slow pacing, everything here is 100% spot-on.
>good Kami what is happening in there!? >shenron >shenron? the eternal dragon, in less than a year, without the 7 dragonballs, localised entirely in your kitchen? >yes >may I see it? >..no
"What if... I were to take Kakarot's triumph over Frieza and disguise it as my own? Oh ho, genius." "VEGETAAAAA! What are you doing?" "Oh, I'm just um... Training to achieve a state beyond super Saiyan! Care to join me?"
"Good Lord, what is happening in there!?" "Super Saiyan 3." "Super Saiyan 3? At this point in the season, at this point in the episode, in this arc, localized entirely within your kitchen?" "Yes." "Can I see it?" "...no."
It's actually a double joke, in DBZ most of the time the songs aren't finished so they just leave a single frame (picture) on screen and slightly move it in circles to give the effect that something is happening until the song ends.
This is incredible, you got EVERYTHING right. The colors of aging film, slightly wobbly reels, the awkward pauses, the film grain, the intermission, the next episode preview (Hell, the NEP actually *feels* so close to one of DBZs, for some reason), the music. Everything, bravo. The only constructive criticism I have is to lower the audio fidelity to match that of aged tapes, too.
You forgot the part where it shows a closeup of Skinner's face, then the superintendent's, then Skinner's, then the superintendent's, then Skinner's, then the superintendent's, then...
This is just perfect. Everything is spot on, the Kikuchi score, the filler, fucking everything! Steamed ham truly brings out the best in all of us. Bravo.
YOU WENT TO THE TIME TO FIND WHAT THE NEXT EPISODE IN THE SEASON WAS THE HELLFISH EPISODE IS RIGHT AFTER THE STEAMED HAMS EPISODE AND YOU WENT TO THE TROUBLE OF FINDING THAT OUT #1 MEME
Actually their microphones were fine. The real problem is they tossed out all their good recordings after the original broadcast dates, so the only good audio exists on high-quality home-recorded VHS or betamax.
And to top it off, they used the muffled mono optical track from the film prints for DBGT DVDs, even though the broadcast quality stereo soundtrack still exists and is used for repeats in Japan. Apparently (Never got around to GT S2) the GT TV special sounds so much better because they never bothered to remaster it from the film, and the old tape masters happened to have that high quality audio; the whole of GT could (and SHOULD) have sounded like that!
Dude, the whole edit was fantastic, but that Flying Hellfish preview was beyond amazing! It would be a lot of work for sure, but the entire episode edited like that would be a dream come true!
You should do a One Piece version. There's 2 minutes of recap, a 3 minute opening song, and the camera keeps slowly panning across the screen and showing everyone's facial expressions to pad out time as much as possible.
What this needed was an 'episode' where they either just sit there chewing in silence, or they remember the events in the previous episode. Yes, there was literally an entire episode in the Namek saga where Goku and Frieza just stared at each other and flashed back to literally the previous battle they already had had. That was the whole episode.
