In terms of the season sets it's mainly for the title cards whether they are in English or Japanese.

Wow, I didn't know this would come because I've been off for a long time.
4:3 screen and dub with original BGM in 5.1ch audio! Wonderful.
If it includes each next episode preview, I have no hesitation in buying it.

Did the original dragonball have next episode previews? I never knew that. Didn't think it did.

It did, but the footage was never given to international dubbers, I believe. Or at least the audio.

I wouldn't put your money on that. DBZ and GT didn't have them, so the likely hood of these sets doing so is very, very slim.

It's appeared on AxelMusic, a site I commonly use, and what's more, it's listed with a Collectors Edition Box Set...

What the Perfect Cell? If there's a collectors edition, you'd better believe that I'm first in line for that shit.

Will it hold all 16 boxes though, that's what I want...

Fuck, a collector's edition? I already pre-ordered the normal one, damn.

Hopefully it's nothing I'd be that interested in.

A special edition release would have likely been announced alongside the regular set. No mention was made in the press release or anywhere else. It's likely just the retailer putting that title in there for no reason. Besides, it's got the same price as the regular edition. I'm sure it means nothing.

Of course, if there's something confirming it that I missed, then hot damn.

What if this is that big announcement that FUNimation was talking about though? Things they could include in a special edition might be: a guide book, movies, a box to hold all the sets, a CD with BGM, or an additional DVD with a bunch of special features. Some of these aren't very likely, but they would indeed make this edition one of the special variety.

Who said anything about a "big" announcement?

I foresee it as nothing more than "Hey, here's a release schedule for the rest of the series."

Not just that. With DB, Toei didn't give it to Funi at all. Heard they didn't give next episode previews for Sailor Moon to ADV and Pioneer either.

I never understood why so many people consider the next-episode previews such a deal-breaker. I mean, I understand that they're part of the original experience, but I've never seen them as anything other than a novelty. The next episode is on the disc. I normally just go to marathon mode anyway. But I've seen many people say: "if they have next-episode previews I'll get it." I'm just like

It's finally getting to me that this is coming out in less then 2 months.

They expect too much of it anyway. I'm getting it, even if it has no next episode previews. The reason I want to buy DB season sets is so I can complete my collection

The next episode previews for DBZ are awesome. Every other Funimation show has next episode previews so why not the Dragonball shows?
