Why it is "Top": This is the version that fixed the original Kai.
Early Warning: The original 2009 broadcast of Kai used the Yamamoto score. However, Yamamoto was fired for plagiarism. As a result, the 2014 "Season" Blu Rays replace his score with the original Shunsuke Kikuchi score (the same composer from DBZ). For many fans, this is a blessing. Kikuchi’s orchestral, martial arts-driven sound is nostalgic and epic.
What you get:
Picture Quality: 1080p MPEG-4 AVC. The 4:3 aspect ratio (original framing) is preserved. Unlike the "Orange Bricks" of the original DBZ, these do not crop the image.
Why this is the top recommendation: Because Funimation lost the rights to the Yamamoto score, the replacement Kikuchi score actually creates a seamless audio bridge between Dragon Ball (original) and Super. These discs are widely available for $20-$30 each. dragonball z kai complete blu ray top
Unlike buying the show in four separate "Parts," this box set packs all 167 episodes (The Final Chapters: Majin Buu saga included) into a compact, high-quality chipboard box. It takes up less shelf space than a single VHS tape from the 90s.
There is no single “Complete Series” box in North America. Instead, you need either: Why it is "Top": This is the version
If you want the ultimate way to experience the battle against Frieza, Cell, and Buu, The Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Complete Series (Funimation) is the winner.
It offers the best visual fidelity the series has ever seen. Gone are the days of blurry VHS tapes or cropped widescreen DVDs. While the cropping of the Buu saga in the Western release is a minor blemish, the overall package is essential for any anime collector. Picture Quality: 1080p MPEG-4 AVC
Final Rating: 9/10 Subtracting 1 point only for the 16:9 cropping on the Buu saga in the Western release. Otherwise, this is perfection.
