Just got a shipping confirmation! Last time they sent one of those, I received Part 7 the same day. I just checked the tracking number provided on UPS' website, and it looks like it's here in town on the truck and ready to be delivered today! :D

EDIT: Okay guys, I can't post pics cuz I gotta get ready for work. But it just arrived so here's what's inside.

The insert art (behind Disc 1) is the same picture of Goku from the Budokai Tenkaichi cover.

The version of Dragon Soul sung is the same one from Part 7, where all of them sing it. I didn't watch an episode, I just checked the textless version in the special features, which, so far, has been the same one featured on the episodes for that Part.

The interview is, in fact, the same interview from a year ago that was on Youtube.

Pics and more to come later if someone else doesn't post them first.

Does it still come with the cardboard slipcase? I was wondering about that since they started "going green" and omitting the booklets from e.g. the Orange Bricks.

Same opening from part 7 and the same interviews that were put on YouTube a few years ago? Why is FUNimation always lazy with the Dragon Ball DVD/Bluray releases?

And with that, my dream of Chris Sabat's Dragon Soul is crushed. Crushed, I tell you. :cry:

I came here to post the good news, but I guess everyone else is in the same boat.

The only thing that'll be actually new will just be the episodes because everything's the same as before. :?

Is the Bonus Episode 98 at the Extras section?

As for my DBZKP5BD I have to wait till the 5th June for Amazon to ship it out, it'll take like 2-3 weeks to get here, unless I see a third party on Amazon UK's selling a bit more cheaper, or same price and I'll take their offer instead (because they're quicker they ship from the UK).

This is weird I should've pressed 8 (DBZKP8BD) not 5.

For some reason I was thinking about Part Five dunno why. :?

Hey guys, I watched a little bit of it, and I have a few corrections to make.

The Dragon Soul sung in the actual episodes is still a bunch of the singers, but I noticed Sean Schemmel isn't included, at least from what I can hear. It sounds like a Triplet between Vic Mignogna, Colleen Clickenbeard, & John Burgmeier. The textless version in the special features is the same as Part 7 though with everyone.

The interview is only part 1. You'll have to look up parts 2-4 on Youtube still.

Episode 98 is just that; Episode 98, included in the episode line-up. It's not listed as a Bonus episode.

I've only watched up to Gohan becoming a Super Saiyan 2.

Seen this somewhere before?

I'm glad they at least fixed the audio issue for when Gohan turns SSJ2.

If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Aw, no Dameon Clarke? That's a bummer! :(

I'm a bit disappointed but the casual watcher probably doesn't know Episode 98 is a bonus, so it figures. Not bad.

You mean when Cell crushes No. 16's head and the audio effect only plays later on? That was the TV version, it did made sense for them to do that way, Gohan's thinking of everyone whom suffered and especially No. 16 gave up his life to talk to him for a couple mins.

I agree. I don't think it was an error; more that it was a stylistic way to get around the whole having to edit out No. 16's head being crushed. The smarter-than-the-average-bear member of the target audience could probably have spotted the difference too, and then to hear Gohan the sound of the head being crushed as part of Gohan's thoughts, as though he's going through everything that's just happened, kinda works. Lending credence to this is probably the bird, the thing we pretty much associate 16 with.

Another interpreation could be it's used here, to keep it in, and symbolise Gohan's mind being crushed, but that's a slightly siller way of thinking about it.

Lol Goku being shirtless inside the cover is super random. And it's even more funny that they only put part 1 of the interview there instead of the full thing.
