How do I know I'm buying the correct version? (Kikuchi s1-2)

Post by Aoi » Fri Jun 01, 2012 4:15 pm

The packaging seems identical for the Yamamoto "Season 1 and Season 2" bundles to the Kikuchi Season 1 and Season 2 bundles. How do we know we're getting the right version? I wanted to pick up the Kikuchi versions (new ones) on amazon:

Seems to be the right one (judging by date added) but just making sure :).

it appears to be the correct one, as it is cheaper and the date that it was added. Season 2 will only have a Kikuchi score, so you don't have to worry about that.

Pokewiz, thanks for your reply.

From what I understand, this version ("Season 1") contains the original "Part 1 and Part 2" with the Kikuchi score right? That's what I want basically. Are you saying that this version comes with "Part 1= Yamamoto" and "Part 2= Kikuchi"? Thanks.

The new season 1 contains the episodes from "parts 1 and 2" with Kikuchi. Season 2 has the same, but for 3 and 4.
Basically, if Kikuchi is what you want, the new ones are what to get.

"Season One" contains "Part 1" and "Part 2" (all with Kikuchi), while "Season Two" contains "Part 3" and "Part 4" (all with Kikuchi).

"Season One" had been previously released with Yamamoto, but it's been replaced with a newer version. It's extremely unlikely that if you order that set now you'll end up with Yamamoto. The entire purpose of re-releasing it was to get Kikuchi out there -- otherwise, they would have just left the same version from before in-print.

VegettoEX, thanks. I heard your pod cast and it was well explained.

The Season One from 2011 featured Kenji Yamamoto's music, however, in 2012 they re-released it and it does have another product page on Amazon and elsewhere.

Dragon Ball Z Kai: Season One 2011
Dragon Ball Z Kai: Season One 2012

As for Season Two, there's none with Kenji Yamamoto's music (unfortunately) it's all Kikuchi Kai.

Dragon Ball Z Kai: Season Two 2012

Another way of knowing it is by through the ASIN code:
Kai Season One 2011 - B005DEUEXG
Kai Season One 2012 - B0079KGANU
FUNimation 2015 Releases I want:
- Kai 2.0 on Blu-ray
