Well somewhat back on topic, does anyone think that Funimation is holding out for a Dragonbox release on Blu-ray DVD? And if they didn't fuck that release up,would you guys buy it?

I don't think they will. The season sets was pretty much their big opportunity to get the masters, but they blew it by deciding to rather get 3rd gen. reels to run through VP&T's cheapest automation system. Their current film masters have already been telecined at 1080p, so from their point of view, they have no reason to purchase the rights for the Dragonbox footage for HD releasing; since they already got their own prepped remastering.

If that's the case,then i should try and get the Dragonbox Movies collection from somewhere.

I agree with Conan the SSJ. That's why I've been getting the Box singles.
