DBZ technically aired in "seasons" starting back in 1996 and through its run on Cartoon Network, and that's how it was marketed by FUNimation and Cartoon Network... for a while, anyway. Once the home releases started becoming the focus point, "seasons" was temporarily discarded... until the orange bricks, when they made up a whole new distinction for "seasons" that had never been used before. Where-as "season one" used to be dub episodes 1-26, it was now episodes 1-39. That doesn't even correspond with what the dub episodes "would be" if unedited (since I think that'd be 1-36 or so).
We've been over all this before, though. Some folks just don't like the term "season" being used because whenever it's used it takes on a new meaning and new batch of episodes.
Oh, I'm not trying to make up excuses for why "Season" is accurate, I'm just saying that the market usually sees DVD releases as "Seasons" on shelves, even when something is released by "Volumes" there's still something on the box that says "This contains the complete first season!"
FUNi has completely made up the "Season" designations, and you guys are right when you say they're wrong, I'm just saying the reason for them is probably, to my eyes, that they feel they need to give the series season designations for this reason.
