They generally don't tweak native HD material. And the DVD clearly is naturally darker than either Blu-ray. Not to mention the tweaking is different on the OP. Not to mention the tweaking appears different than the way Funimation tends to do it (they don't really do it that often anymore.) I’m not quite sure Funimation did the brightening.

The colors really pop without any major impact to detail. Considering the difference between the US Blu-ray and Japanese Blu-ray in the first comparison shot, I don't think there is enough of a change overall to write off the US Blu-ray as inferior or anything. Could the colors be balanced a bit more? Sure. But that could also be said of the Japanese Blu-ray.

If Funi were the ones to change the US Blu-rays though, I think they did the right thing, since overall, there isn't really any more detail lost over the Japanese Blu-ray, but the color seems a little richer without being over-saturated. A shot of the Dragon Box version as a comparison might be nice, since Funi has been advertising that as the ultimate version of DBZ. I think it would be interesting, if only just to compare to the latest DVD release, and leaving the Blu-rays to be compared strictly to the assorted Kai versions.
