"Dragon Ball Kai" FUNimation Home Video Release News & Discussion

[JohnnysAngel]

I figured we could use a thread seperate from the licensing thread and the original Japanese run of episodes to discuss the home video release of Dragon Ball Kai as released by FUNimation Entertainment.

Anyhow, Dragon Ball Kai Season One Part One is now available for pre-order from RightStuf. This post will frequently be updated with the listings for the new home video releases. Remeraber, Dragon Ball Kai is being released on both DVD and Blu-ray formats.

Leave it to rabroad's nuraber 1 fanboy to make a thread for this

But I really can't wait to get news on this. If Funimation does not get new information out at Katsucon themselves, I hope someone asks about this.

I'm hoping Zach will be able to choke some information out of Adam while he's there.


Anyhow, I think it'll be a while before I can start collecting Dragon Ball Kai. I need to get a job before I can spend so much dough on it.

I haven't been collecting the Orange Boxes or Dragon Boxes, so I guess Dragon Ball Z: Kai would be a good place to start my Dragon Ball Z collection. 'sides...I'm curious about the new dub.

RightStuf should have their next FUNimation sale in May, so hopefully I'll be able to save 40% on the first Blu-ray set and still get it around its release date. I can't wait!

What? No DVD's cover art yet? Anyways, how many episodes will FUNi will gives us? I'm in doubts FUNI will go back the their old habits of showing 3 episodes in one DVD again. Yeah, Japan is doing that, but that doesn't mean the U.S should do that too.
Well, if I ever do get the DVD's, I will get it for the dubs. Nothing else but that.

They're doing the Season 1 Part 1 thing again, so I imagine we'll be getting about 12 - 13 episodes per set.

I am pretty sure they won't go the single route seeing this set costing 50$. A friend of mine, Kendamu, suggested they may just bed 8 episode sets since the first season of Kai was only 17 episodes as I recall. But if that was the case they should have lowerd the price, as Funimation has the same price for One Piece dvd sets which have at least 12 episodes.

Dragon Ball Kai isn't done in a 'season' format. The Saiyan arc enRAB with episode #16, however. I don't foresee FUNimation doing a set of eight. It'll likely be 12-13 episodes long considering it's going for fifty bucks.

That's what I said we will just have to see what Funimation says tomorrow...
