I'm doing a rewatch of DBZ in order with slotting the movies into the right spots based on broadcast dates (I just finished the same with DB). I noticed that the DBZ movies are no longer available on Funimation.com, though they were there a few months back when I started this rewatch. I emailed Funimation and received this response:
An inconvenience, but I have the DVD somewhere in my basement.At the request of the licencor, the Dragon Ball Z movies and specials are unavailable at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Any theories on this? Something happening in preparation for the new film? Or just the strange ebb and flow of rights issues? Unfortunately, that means there is no online/digital way to get the subbed version of the film today. (It is for sale on iTunes, but English-only.)
