Three of the four mentioned don't even have a Japanese version selectable in their DVDs, so it's pretty much a given that you won't find much in those DVDs. Especially if you've got 4Kids and Saban who dubbed two of the three. >__>BoxerGloves wrote:In fact, take look at other shows that were produced by Toei, and were licensed and released on DVDs here in U.S, such as One Piece, Digimon, Zatch Bell, Knights of the Zodiac, and many others. Do you see any extras there too? Of course not.

No. What I was saying, is that Toei doesn't provide extras for their anime properties, that've been set for licensing. And that's regardless whether the series receive an uncut release in U.S or not. Just look at Toei's series that actually did end up getting released uncut, such as Crying Freeman, Sailor Moon, Marmelade Boy, that OVA about Cutey Honey, and of course, the whole Dragon Ball trilogy. While they've got dual language releases each, they've got no extras. With the excepton of character profiles, none whatsoever. Not even a freaking textless version of the opening and closing themes (although, in the case of Dragon Ball, there's only textless OP and ED used on the series themselves, so there'd be no point).
I'm sure that Toei Animation deliberately doesn't give extras for the foreign markets of their show, because they want to remain as the full owners of their properties.
And I'm damn well certain that their policy to not to provide supplemental material to companies that had licensed their properties, probably lies somewhere right between their other policy, which is to cut the next episode previews from the master tapes (the ones that Toei ships over to the companies), and another one, which is also to intentionally send shit quality master tapes for the companies here in U.S.
