[ DBZ Filler Inconsistencies ] [ The DBZ You've Never Seen ]
[ Comparison Videos ] [ Video Game Cinemas ]
While Daizenshuu EX has always been known for showcasing the latest video game openings and newly-animated cinemas, we have also begun complimenting these with some of our own productions.
Our "DBZ Filler Inconsistencies" have become extremely popular features, showcasing differences between the original manga and the TV series that may result in a disconnect between the two sources.
Our "The DBZ You've Never Seen" series of videos is an extension of the panel of the same name we have done at conventions like Otakon and AnimeNEXT. We have dug through our old tapes in hopes of bringing you some rare promo materials, commercials, and more!
Our comparison videos between the original release of the Chinese live-action movie (The Magic Begins) and the "remastered" re-release (Ultimate Edition) have also generated quite a following, showcasing some of the added CG and visual effects that usually do not enhance the scenes in any way.
Most of our video game cinemas will remain as downloads (MPEG-1, 352x240), but will also contain a streaming link. The majority of our new, in-house productions will be available as streaming-only.
As always, traditional "Anime Music Videos" (of both the DB- and non-DB variety) can be found over in the "Music Videos" section, along with some other parodies, trailers, etc.

DBZ "Arrival" Promo / Recap Trailer |
| This short promo played immediately before the opening theme ("Rock the Dragon") on "Arrival", the first home video/DVD release of FUNimation's English dub of DBZ from 1996. Of particular note are unedited Masako Nozawa fighting noises, followed by Ian Corlett muttering, despite him no longer voicing the character by the time they got around to dubbing DBZ movie 1...! Also note the awful VHS-quality of scenes. (view this video externally)
