Toon Zone Talkback - FUNimation Announces New May Titles Including "Dragon Ball Kai"

They should really do something like that.

Well happy birthday to me (my birthday being in May, that is) from FUNi, apparently.

One Piece, Brotherhood, and Kai for me... not necessarily all at once. I'm supposed to be saving money, dangit.
 
I'm a bit surprised that there hasn't been an official, full list for April's FUNi titles yet, let alone May. Typically these solicitations are announced three months ahead of time. It's February and nothing's on RightStuf yet. Strange. I hope everything's all right.
 
It's all mostly reprices of existing SKUs for April. Nothing new, which explains why nothing new has popped up for April. RACS has already said something about it:
 
Indeed it is...I'll deffinantly be trying to pick up....

Full Metal Alchemist Brother Hood:
Dragon Ball Season 4
Dragon Box 3
Inital D: Third Stage
Inital D: Fourth Stage Part 1
Dragon Ball Z Kai Season 1 Part 1

this is gonna be a good start to the summer!
 
Dragon Ball Kai and One Piece for sure (though I'm still REALLY far behind on my One Piece purchases ).

Though, I do have to ask...does anyone have an idea of what episodes might be on Dragon Box 3? I'm thinking of picking up these sets starting at the point I left off on with the orange bricks (season three), but I'm not sure if the Garlic Junior stuff'll be in this set or the next one.
 
Dragon Ball Z Kai Season 1 Part 1

And this is why I dont buy the one piece DVD's anymore. 13 episodes charged at about $30.00 for a series that will have 100 + episodes. It's really a rip.

I hope that the FMAB sets come with atleast 26 episodes or else I'm going to have to play the waiting game like I am already doing with code geass.
 
Actually, currently it'll probably be only 50 or so episodes. After that I dunno but Kai is ending in a few months [strike]hopefully for Digimon 6[/strike]. After that we'll see.
 
Looks like I'll be getting Dragon Box 3, Dragon Ball Season 4, Dragon Ball Z Kai, One Piece (Even though it is filler), and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Damn you May, you're almost as bad as March in this regard.
 
Any time you think this, you also have to consider that, less than five years ago, we were paying $30+ for three or four episodes.

You kiRAB these days with your free intarweb streaming and your Netflixing, honestly. Can't be grateful for paying 75% less than you would've paid during the old days.
 
I have to agree with veemonjosh. 13 episodes is hella for one set for $30. Back in the day, I paid $30 for two episodes on a single VHS tape. This is a very fair price for a couple DVRAB and hours of fun viewing. I happily support this with my money.

And you're a fool if you think FMA:B is gonna be done in just two sets of 26 eps each. Yeah, they're really just gonna shove it out there and forget about making any money off of it by selling it in smaller chunks. Because that's such a brilliant business model. I'm just really aghast at some of you and your sense of self-entitlement.

Anyway, man, so much awesome stuff in May. I'm still catching up on One Piece (I'm only up to S2V2, I need more One Piece... I'm going through withdrawl *BLArabroadLAHGNASHRUMMGRZZSCHTPLAAAH*). I haven't yet started collecting the Dragon Boxes but I'll eventually get around to 'em. This is what I've been waiting for after all so I'm glad I held out for all those years on buying any Dragon Ball-related media. I have the first two season sets of Dragon Ball (or rather my sister does, they're technically hers since they were presents...whatever) and am waiting for season 3. I dunno, maybe I'll wait for all of the Dragon Ball sets to come out before starting the Dragon Boxes for DBZ. I'll definitely pick up Kai on Blu-Ray though. I'm also still waiting for like the Blu-Ray for Eva 1.01 when that comes out in March.

Yeah, FUNimation pretty much owns all my anime purchases for the foreseeable future.
 
If you want more for less then wait a couple of years for a reprice or a re-release. The reason they're expensive now is because they're new. FUNimation is trying to recoup their losses, the least you can do is support the things you love by purchasing them.
