>Is there a GT release in 4:3 native/Funimation Dub/Japanese Music? If so, where could I find it?

Yes. There's an English with Japanese Music option on the Green Brick set.

Someone recently asked if Dragon Ball would ever make it to Bluray. To quote /u/VegettoEX:

>Asked often, but no real updates. For an actual HD release, someone would need to pony up and scan film masters. Right now, that would have to be Toei; FUNimation's current masters are digibeta tapes at best.
I mean, they could do an upscaled release to Blu-ray, but that'd be a lot more trouble than it's worth with their current materials, and if they crop anything else... (insert fist-shaking here)
I would honestly expect to see something from Toei on Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT in HD before I would expect to see it from FUNimation.

That being said, our FAQ in the sidebar has a list of your options when it comes to purchasing the series.

>##Q: What is the best way to purchase the anime?
A: There are many different ways to purchase the anime. While all releases of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT are in their native 4:3 fullscreen aspect ratio, most English releases of Dragon Ball Z were cropped to 16:9 widescreen.

>* For Dragon Ball, your best option is the Blue Brick DVD sets. [4:3 Native]

• For Dragon Ball Z, your best option is the most recent Bluray set. [16:9 Cropped]
  
• For Dragon Ball Z Kai, your best option is most recent Bluray/DVD set. If you prefer Kenji Yamamoto's musical score, you want "Parts 1-4" of the Part set. [4:3 Native]
  
• For Dragon Ball GT, your best option is the Green Brick DVD set. [4:3 Native]
  
  >Other releases include:
  
  >* The Dragon Ball Z Orange Brick DVD set [16:9 Cropped], which are criticized for their aggressive filtering, over-contrasted colors, automated center crop, and excessive detail loss during scenes with shaky picture.
  
• The Dragon Ball Z Dragon Box set [4:3 Native], the now-out-of-print collector's edition which is considered by many to be the best DVD set of the series. Unfortunately, they run around $700 for a complete set on eBay, and don't include the American broadcast score.
  
• The Dragon Ball Z Bluray Level Sets [4:3 Native], the now-cancelled Bluray set which was praised for its faithful colors, grain preservation and original 4:3 aspect ratio.
  
• The Dragon Ball Z "Rock The Dragon" set [4:3 Native], which contains all 53 episodes of the original Ocean Group dub.

>Could someone please sum of the differences between versions? I'm really not entirely sure of all the differences.

There are other releases, like the old DVD singles (fullscreen video, first Funimation dub) and the Ultimate Uncut set (debut of 001-067's redub), but these have been out of print for ages.

There's only one way that I know of to buy pre-Z Dragon Ball uncut and in its entirety. You'll want to pick yourself up the Blue Bricks. The quality isn't terrible compared to the Orange Bricks. Don't forget about the movies.

For Z, you'll definitely want to avoid the Orange Bricks. The only good thing about this release is that it finally made Dragon Ball Z easy to buy without collecting endless DVDs. But the picture is botched up beyond being saved, and it's cropped to widescreen. Ideally you'd want to purchase the Dragon Boxes, but they're out-of-print and cost a pretty penny. Maybe check eBay if you're interested. You're probably going to want to go with the latest Blu-Ray releases. They're still cropped like the Orange Bricks, but they're a superior overall product even if they still aren't up to par with what we should be getting. Pick up the movies and Battle of Gods too.

GT is pretty simple. Buy the Green Brick. Like the pre-Z Blue Brick, the "remastering" didn't destroy the integrity of the product. It also comes with the one GT TV special. Yay!

And if you're interested in what order you should watch all this, check out our guide.

Dragon Ball is available on DVD on these blue sets http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Ball-Season-One/dp/B002FOQXTQ

Dragon Ball Z is available in it's entirety on DVD on similar sets but they are fairly awful quality (fake widescreen, heavy filtering applied, etc) http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Ball-Season-Vegeta-Saga/dp/B000KWZ1TI

Dragon Ball GT is available in a single DVD set
http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Ball-GT-Sean-Schemmel/dp/B0063RE4X8

They've released the Dragon Ball Z movies on blu-ray, and Dragon Ball Z Kai is available on blu-ray, and they've started and stopped releasing the series previously with the Level 1.1 and Level 1.2 sets (no longer available). It looks like they are going to try releasing it on blu-ray AGAIN though http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Ball-Blu-ray-Sean-Schemmel/dp/B00F9IB1M4

I wouldn't hold my breath though. Funimation likes to start releasing a set and then cancel halfway through. Plus from what I'm reading it's the same garbage quality as the orange brick sets, only it's the 1080p version of it.

Not sure why you'd think it'd be nearly that much...

OMFG. IT really is!

Here

but the dragon ball z ones are still fuckin expensive

Manga Entertainment's release of the 'digitally remastered' sets, known as the Orange Bricks, both contain the Bruce Faulconer score and Shunsuke Kikuchi score. Audio is English+Kikuchi score, Japanese+Kikuchi score, and English+Faulconer score. Bare in mind this isn't the best release of Dragon Ball Z you can buy on the market. Quite honestly, I would invest the money into the blu-ray sets.
