To put it simply, FUNimation did the quickest and easiest thing they could to "remaster" the show. ![]() American fans are in an uproar, since Japanese fans get an uncropped remastered presentation on DVD. Additionally, the series was remastered in a proper fullscreen presentation in Japan, for the Dragon Box sets that were released a few years ago. However, the cropping has resulted in a serious outcry from fans, in that there are several frames of the show where the cropping (and the damage it does to the show) are obvious. Not only was it easier for FUNimation to simply crop the image and remove the portions most dirty and damage, this also allowed them to release a presentation that was enhanced for viewing on widescreen television sets. The true reason is that the film frames were quite dirty and damaged at the top and bottom. ![]() ![]() While the "remastering" featurette on the first season box set explains that this was done in an effort to "create a more cinematic viewing experience", there is no denying that the picture has, indeed, been cropped at the top and bottom, even if there is minor picture gain on the sides of the frame.
