Will Funimation ever release other Dragon Boxes?

This question pops up every few months but no, they've not said a word so don't get your hopes up.

Perhaps Aniplex could buy the rights to the dragon boxes and release super expensive subbed releases haha.

Let's suppose Aniplex would release, Box 1 featuring episodes 001-040 for $300 and then the others for the same.. lol people would start complaining about the absurd prices and only a few would actually support it.

The problem here is that FUNimation has accustomed people to buying series for very affordable prices and then when something very precious gets released for $60 or more they go on a ramble ramble.

Or paying $60 for 4 episodes in an archaic method that no one does anymore shouldn't be tolerated. I'd love to buy Kill la Kill, but there's no way I'll buy it if it's all $60+ for 4 episodes per volume. FUNimation may have changed how the anime market works here (I'm glad they did.) But, if it's possible to get something like the Dragon Boxes, for $30-$70 at most with 41 episodes per volume. Paying 60 for 4 episodes with a method that barely anyone uses anymore doesn't make sense.

Regarding Kill la Kill, Anime Ltd. from UK is going released Part 1 of 3 (on Blu-ray & DVD) and in all those three parts it'll cover every episode, now the price is a bit steep but they did state they'll be releasing a budgety version for those that don't want to spend too much money.

Amazon:
. Blu-ray's £43 ($69) - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kill-Part-Colle ... bnp_0_main
. DVD's £36 ($57) - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kill-Part-Colle ... _bnp_1_dvd

Base
. Blu-ray's £39.99 ($64) - http://www.base.com/buy/product/kill-la ... ni0032.htm
. DVD's £34.99 ($56) - http://www.base.com/buy/product/kill-la ... ni0033.htm

It's most likely Region B-only so US fans are outta luck (for now), I've never seen this series but I'll give the pilot episode a go and if I end up liking it I might pre-order the BD set from Base.

I'd be tempted to import those once the whole series is out.

I definitely think they will release more dragon boxes some time after the season blu ray sets end. The survey showed an interest in releasing more dragon boxes and the last time the dvd season sets ended, we got the z dragon boxes, so I think that's what will happen.
