Anyone familiar with the funi single volumes?

Post by Gokan678 » Thu Oct 04, 2007 1:46 pm

So I'm trying to track down all the single volume and boxsets, but I noticed something. The disc art seems to vary randomly between being glossy/aluminum foil type thing, full cover art, and having a ring interupting the disc art . Is there some reason for this?

I don't think there's any reason why they have a different type of material for the disc covers. I have the Kid Buu dvds and they have the aluminium cover.

What do you mean "full cover art, and having a ring interupting the disc art ."?

To answer your question though Funimation isn't very consistant.

Well its a disc so of course its going to have a hole in it. What do you mean "why does the ring interupt the image"? If you have a image on a disc the hole is going to interupt it. Its to be expected. :shock:

I don't think he means the hole in the disc, but the ring around the hole. For example, I scanned some FUNi discs..

Image

One of their first discs after they started taking care of distribution for themselves, its a "holo" of the box art, but they leave the ring as kind of an unfinished sketch.

Image

Somewhere in the middle of their out of order releases, the ring finishes the image, but there is a silver line kinda near the outside of the ring that "interupts" the image, and the inside of the ring is shaded black. It might be hard to see in this scan.

Image

One of the last discs FUNi put out before finishing their initial run of DBZ, the disc art is almost a perfect replica of the box art. There's only a small margin of nothing around the hole.

I didn't have them on hand, but I could also scan the original Pioneer discs and/ or the Ultimate Uncuts for comparisons sake, but I just wanted to help the original poster convey what he was trying to say to people who didnt waste all their money on FUNimations original discs.

It's anybodies guess why they did this. Probably because they were released over such a LONG stretch of time, they changed art direction on numerous occasions during the releases. Or it could be that they changed the way they made the discs.
So zetta slow
