Hmmm that's suspicious. I thought Crunchyroll wasn't going to care enough about original Dragon Ball to give it the reprint-with-our-own-branding treatment, but maybe now that's what they're planning, or perhaps they think anyone who wanted it already bought the Blue Bricks and if they didn't they should be subscribed to their streaming service.
Yeah, the 30th anniversary discs seemed to be exclusive to the Collector's Edition and steelbooks in the US because for whatever reason Funimation thought for Dragon Ball Z specifically and no other shows the 4:3 aspect ratio should be a premium product and the merger did nothing to change their minds.MasenkoHA wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 7:35 am It would be nice if Z got a decent affordable release. I found Steelbooks of seasons 6,8, and 9 at a used physical media store for like $17.50 each. Thought of picking them up and then hoping I can eventually find the rest of the sets but people are charging like $400 for season 1 online and I'm not holding my breath on a reprint from Crunchyroll
I guess if you don't mind how the 30th remaster looks as a lot of fans do, the Manga UK Blu-Rays are always an option. They have nice spine art, come with posters and art cards, are region A/B (so will work in US players) and have been on sale before and are likely to go on sale again at some point:
