I paid $55 for Beyond the Boundary, $30 for Vampire Hunter D, $50 for Big O, and $65 for Clannad+After Story. $65 for Elfen Lied, and $55 for No Game No Life. Funimation wants you to pay over $200 for this DBZ Steelbook run. It'll be 9 steelbooks. Out of all those Sentai ones the only 2 I felt bad about were Vampire Hunter D, and Elfen Lied.

Unlike Funimation: You get the full series with movies/OVA's (Both seasons, whereas Funi would split them), new discs, new extras, an art book, and a slipcover. I actually get an attempt for my money worth from Sentai at the very least.

Funimation took the time to actually alter their discs (Something they never do), but instead of consolidating episodes or adding anything new...they just put a new image coat on and went ahead being complacent. I'm not saying to give us it all in one steel or big release...but maybe TRY to make it shorter and be a better option than the base blu ray set that even has the same number of sets?

Look, if someone doesn't have DBZ on BD and wants it in steelbook? This is the release for you. If you just want DBZ on BD? The BD set for the whole series on Amazon is less than half the price you will pay for this steelbook set. Steelbook release takes away wide-screen, and makes a arguable quality for its 4:3...and nothing else added.

Yu Yu Hakusho (Another Funimation steelbook line) didn't have its episodes changed, but atleast gave us new interviews, and artcards for the price to make it feel like you bought something special beyond "Oooh steelbook!" So we know Funimation can be better than this.
