FUNimation has announced that their home video release for the film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods will drop 07 October 2014 in North America on DVD and Blu-ray.

As hinted at by Manga UK’s previously-announced release (set for November 10th), the release will feature both the original theatrical version of the film along with the extended edition aired on Fuji TV earlier this year.

A Blu-ray/DVD combo pack (MSRP $34.98), DVD-only set, and digital download versions will be available.

The extended version of the film is not available on home video in Japan.

Flower Mound, Texas (August 19, 2014) – FUNimation® Entertainment, North America’s leading anime company, is bringing Dragon Ball Z to Blu-ray & DVD in a big way. Right on the heels of its limited-run, highly successful theatrical release, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods will be hitting online and retail shelves October 7, 2014. “We’re thrilled to be able to bring new Dragon Ball Z content back into homes after so many years” said Gen Fukunaga, President and CEO of FUNimation Entertainment.

Fans of the series have a lot in store for them with this home video release. The Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods Extended Edition on Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack comes with two versions of the film: the Uncut Version – which includes an additional 20 minutes of never-before-seen footage – and the Theatrical Version. It also includes over 30 minutes of extra features, including an in-the-booth featurette with the fan favorite cast.

FUNimation recently toured the movie’s English dub in a limited run across North American theaters, grossing $1 million its first night.

A “Shueisha Jump Remix” version of the Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods “Film Anime Comic” adaptation will be available tomorrow (16 August 2014) in Japan for ¥667 (+ tax).

The “Film Anime Comics” series collected screen shots from various anime-only stories into manga form, arranging scenes into panels on a page with dialog bubbles. The “Shueisha Jump Remix” series adapted these and other Film/TV Anime Comics into lower-priced versions on cheaper paper, sometimes collecting multiple stories together into a larger book.

The original version of the movie’s “Film Anime Comic” was released 04 October 2013 for ¥1,400 (tax included). It came in at 360 pages in the New Book Format (11 × 17 cm). The Shueisha Jump Remix version will come in at 364 pages.

Additionally, double-movie-packed Shueisha Jump Remix releases for Dragon Ball Z Movies 9 & 10 (Bojack / 2nd Broli) and then Movies 5 & 6 (Coola / Metal Coola) will drop 22 August 2014 2014 and 29 August 2014, respectively. Each will sell for ¥619 (+ tax). The Movies 9 & 10 Shueisha Jump Remix version was previously released in 2009.

Re-releases of the standard edition/quality “Film Anime Comics” for Dragon Ball Z Movies 8 (1st Broli) and 12 (Janenba) came out earlier this year.

Listings for Manga UK’s home video release of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods have begun popping up on retailer sites. A listing on anime-on-line.com in particular indicates that the release will be a double-disc edition and will come packed with both the original theatrical cut of the film along with the special extended version that was aired on Fuji TV earlier this year in Japan:

This double disc edition includes both the 85 minute Theatrical Cut and the 105 minute Director’s Cut. Both versions include the English and Japanese dubs and English subtitles. This edition also includes bonus content including “The Voices of Dragon Ball Z: Unveiled” and “Behind The Scenes: Battle of Voice Actors!”.

A separate listing also confirms a “Collector’s Edition” which will come packed with, “…4 collectable art cards and a limited edition o-card.”

Manga UK will release the film on both DVD and Blu-ray 10 November 2014.

Back in June, FUNimation voice actor Sean Schemmel tweeted photos from his Battle of Gods recording sessions. One photo in particular contained a scene exclusive to the extended version of the film, prompting the question of whether FUNimation had been able to secure said version of the film for either theatrical or home release. All tweets related to the recording sessions were removed shortly thereafter.

FUNimation’s North American theatrical tour of the film wraps up this week. No home release has been announced.

Thanks to our various forum members for digging up the listings!

UPDATE: Listings for the “Collector’s Edition” Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, and DVD versions are now also up on Amazon UK and confirm the same extras, inclusion of the extended edition, etc. Thanks, Baggie_Saiyan!
