It is identical to what audiences watched in North American theaters earlier this year."
Complaints about the film's reported green tint were mixed. Though many notable anime profilers shared screenshots with notable differences, there were fans who stated their personal copy was unaffected. This controversy also comes at a time when fans have been concerned with Funimation's upcoming Dragon Ball Z 30th Anniversary Special Collector's Edition release.
