Dragon Ball Z "Seasons" On Blu-ray: News & Discussion

[sangofe]

Seriously. I've had several DVD and CD cases come snapped in shipment. One of them was a Dragon Ball blue brick with a broken disc holder, which is a pain to replace. I'm shocked the Dragon Boxes I ordered from there never had any damage.

What season is it? I have an extra Season one case on ebay now.

I don't get it, why did these raise in price? It's not like FUNimation won't produce more, lol.

This just came today man I love Right Stuf It is my preferred destination for all my anime items. I don't have the special discount though because tons of items i order from their don't qualify go figure lol. This set contains episode 40-74

Is the ending theme still double zoomed?

I'm guessing it is, my copy was just charged on amazon and won't be able to check till probably the 20th due to Monday being a Holiday.
I'm just hoping season 2 isn't as bright OB S2 was.

Okay, so why are these being sold at $17 a pop? Doesn't make sense unless they're working on a better restoration at the same time and these are just hold offs. Don't even remember the Orange bricks being this cheap until just a few years ago.

They must have seen everyone complaining about their strange decision to crop the show. Currently, the best adaptation in original format is the Belgian A-B group Remasterisée set. I have little faith in Funimation these days, they ticked me off by choosing 16:9 cropped 20% of Toriyama's masterpiece.

Don't get me wrong, if Funimation makes a good unbastardized version, I will be the first in line to get one, also pretty sure AB group will be the vendor for the european sub versions.

Also, they deleted the listing for season 1 because ''there was something wrong with the product''. So this must be a clearance sale.

Well, the MSRP for them is still a solid $45 each. Some retailers (or at least just Amazon; are they this cheap on RightStuf and such too?) are just selling them at a heavily discounted price for some reason. Maybe they just realize that DBZ sells no matter what and figure they can move more items this way.

My Season 2 is being processed at the moment, should be here Wednesday Screw Amazon, all I had to do is cough an extra £10, to avoid bad packaging, any customs fee's and really slow delivery to the UK. Frickin' love United Publications, managed to get Fairy Tail part 8 one week early and in the U.K too.

So can anyone tell me what the deal is with this Season Two release? Why did Right Stuff claim it was delayed by Funimation if Amazon is charging people for the release and it will be shipped out? With a user here who has already received the BD I wonder what happened at Right Stuff to make such a claim. Unless this is all Funimation's doing but that would be a very odd thing to do on their part.

Amazon have yet to charge me for my one.

Well I guess we won't have the full story until tonight/tomorrow then. Anyone who has ordered the Season 2 BD should keep the thread posted as to shipping notifications and charges etc, I know I will.

[yamipuff]

Amazon have charged me and my order status is now “Preparing for Shipment” So hopefully I see it being shipped out by tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

[SupremeSSJ]

it would really suck if they didn't fix the zoom ending.

[PhoenixEX]

According to Amazon, my copy has shipped. Huh, I guess this means that it wasn't delayed after all. How odd.

[yamipuff]

Oh well that gives me more hope that my copy will ship from Amazon soon then. I guess since I'm in the UK it will take a bit longer to ship out...

Going by this pattern, it's possible these sets could be done by this year or at the very least early next year.

Wow! May 13th? Season Three is out on the 1st April! Funimation really are just throwing these sets out quick! That's great though, saves us waiting 2 years to get Season 9... I remember the painful slow collecting when I was buying the Orange Bricks back in 2007. Can't wait to see what the artwork will be like! Anyone got any special preferences to who they want seen on Seasons 4 - 6 art?

Well that's good to see! Hopefully they'll keep releasing them....I'm a little sad that I don't know if Toriko part 5 is coming out yet or not.

[Baggie_Saiyan]

It's up on the FUNImation store but sadly no art yet and an incorrect release date:
http://shop.funimation.com/Shop/ShopPro ... emid=87105

I think it'll Trunks vs Freeza and his father with the android in the background vs Z warrior's.

Anyway, glad they're dishing them out Can't wait untill the Buu saga!

Well that's good to see! Hopefully they'll keep releasing them....I'm a little sad that I don't know if Toriko part 5 is coming out yet or not.

Don't think it was a good seller for them, so they haven't been in a hurry to get them out it seems.

But more Fairy Tail aswell as Haganai Next and sentai releasing the book of bantorra on BD, man my wallets going to take a beating in May

Isn't FUNimation releasing these volumes a little too quickly? I'm wondering if they go through QA.

[kei17]

Even though they're releasing new volumes really quickly, isn't it inevitable that later volumes are going to conflict with Buu arc Kai? They're saturating the market yet again, which seems absurd to me.
