Confirming what was discovered nearly a month ago, FUNimation announced this weekend at their panel at Anime Expo that they will indeed be releasing the first 31 episodes of the original Dragon Ball TV series in a DVD set on 15 September 2009.

The audience was apparently also told to stay tuned for more information regarding the series within the next month, so we will be on the lookout for that.

FUNimation’s official Twitter stream has also updated with the news.
