Yeah, I've also heard of that FUNi dispute as being a reason, along with the ridiculous "uncut dub competing with edited dub" reason. I'm glad they've decided to listen to the fans and upload DM uncut, even if in Japanese, and although subtitles would be nice, I've actually seen fansubbed versions of the episodes they've put up, and I'm already up to episode 115 subbed. Granted, they're the bootleg HK subs, but I know enough Japanese to patch things up where they fail. XD
I definitely would like to see more uncut-dubbed episodes (and if they get back to them, I'd buy them, but they'd need to have more episodes per disc; and maybe boxsets), but if they release the series subbed on DVD, that'll work, too.
