Most likely Parts releases. Then later on do Season sets like last time.

They probably won't call it Part 9 anyway, since The Final Chapters is being marketed as a separate series.

I figure they'll do Parts first as well. They'll probably make more money that way, and it's rare for full seasons to be the first thing released for an anime rather than some sort of smaller release coming first.

It's pretty much guaranteed that they will do Parts first followed by Seasons later. The real question is whether or not it will start over at Part 1, Episode 1, or if they will continue with Part 9, Episode 99.
Re: Do you think FUNi will release Z Kai Part 9 or Season 5?
Well I'm going to start collecting the Kai series on Bluray but I'm debating whether to collect the Parts or the Season Sets. Any advice? I know that the first 4 "Parts" have a different score than the last 4 (Kikuchi), and that the Season Sets have Kikuchi for all. I love consistency, but considering the fact that Part 9- will have a third score, I wouldn't mind if I collected Parts 1-8 with the first 4 having a different score than the last 4 especially since I love Yamamoto's score. However, collecting the Season Sets will probably end up costing less than finding all 8 Parts. But still, Yamamoto......

Well, like I said, The Final Chapters is a different series that is actually resetting from Episode 1 from what I heard. Parts 1-4 are a bit pricey. Personally, I'm going for the Season Sets since they're the definitive release. Besides, it's the Yamamoto episodes that are circulating online. You can't even find clips of the Kikuchi score for Episodes 1-52 anywhere.PhoenixEX wrote:Well I'm going to start collecting the Kai series on Bluray but I'm debating whether to collect the Parts or the Season Sets.

Has that been confirmed though? I know that the Japanese Bluray Boxes are starting from Box Set #1, but if I remember correctly, the Android Arc also started from Box Set #1.Valerius Dover wrote:Well, like I said, The Final Chapters is a different series that is actually resetting from Episode 1 from what I heard.

I'm almost certain that "The Final Chapters" (Note: this is UK only so far I believe) will get a "Part 9", later followed by a "Season 5" in North America.
Also, I think I'll just go with the Part Sets since my love for Yamamoto's score outweighs the consistency of the Season Sets. I may have to fork over more cash in the end but, heh, it'll be worth it. I never truly enjoyed Kikuchi's score (albeit a few tracks).

Not confirmed, exactly, but it would seem to be leaning towards this direction. What the Japanese version does doesn't matter, however. They're doing their own thing.PhoenixEX wrote: Has that been confirmed though?

I'm going by what I've heard in the International Kai thread. Can't remember who said it.

Re: Do you think FUNi will release Z Kai Part 9 or Season 5?
Ah. Well I decided to just go with the Season Sets because knowing FUNimation, there's at least going to be 6 more parts equaling 14 Sets to collect...versus the potential +3 Season Sets equaling 7.
I guess the cheaper road wins in the end.

Re: Do you think FUNi will release Z Kai Part 9 or Season 5?
Yeah, definitely going with the Season Sets all the way, regardless of how they number them. First, I have to figure out how to do tell the difference between Yamamoto and Kikuchi Season 1. And, I hope they do something with the original series, too.

Re: Do you think FUNi will release Z Kai Part 9 or Season 5?
The original series? Hmm I doubt it. If I remember correctly, Japan wanted to cancel Kai because it wasn't bringing in the numbers they wanted near the end of its original run. But, because of it's success in the international market, they decided to bite the bullet and produce Kai Buu Saga for us. Originally I believe they weren't even going to air the Kai Buu Saga on TV, but then they changed their minds and decided to just air it (edited for some reason) for reasons that I do not know. I believe it has to do with keeping DBZ exposure alive constantly through the TV in order to better market the new DBZ films that have been releasing (BoG + 2015)...and Toriko was probably doing not so hot

Yes, what you said is true. It's edited to fit a year's time slot. Therefore, it's really just wishful thinking taken to the extreme. I'll eat my hat with mustard if it happens. The only smidget of hope is the Pilaf trio's recent return perhaps raising interest in it.

Re: Do you think FUNi will release Z Kai Part 9 or Season 5?
Well if you haven't noticed, it's become FUNimation's standard practice to release little pieces of a series, then a collection or a "season set" later. They did it with One Piece, Toriko, and a few other anime's.
Re: Do you think FUNi will release Z Kai Part 9 or Season 5?
By now, Funimation has probably reprinted the Kai Parts without the Yamamoto score. They most likely can't legally sell anything with Yamamoto on it once the Japanese rights-holders found out about his plagiarism. You'll have to track down secondhand copies of the Parts if you want Kai with its the original music.PhoenixEX wrote:Well I'm going to start collecting the Kai series on Bluray but I'm debating whether to collect the Parts or the Season Sets.

The parts were replaced by the seasons, which means they're now out of print. All copies of the parts 1-4 have Yamamoto.ParkerAL wrote:By now, Funimation has probably reprinted the Kai Parts without the Yamamoto score.
