TMNT DVD's: Vol. 7 & 8 Problems
Volume 7 and 8 of the new toon, was released today on DVD and VHS. And there is some missing sections of 3 of the episodes. Just want to get a small word of warning out to those of you that purchase the show on DVD. I don't know if the VHS releases have the same problem. But it's likely.
On TMNT: Volume 7, Return to New York pt. 2 and Return to New York 3 are missing the opening narration and recap of the previous episode before the opening credits. And on Volume 8, Search for Splinter pt. 2 is missing the opening narration and recap of the previous episode before the opening credits. I suggest that everyone contact Funimation about this, and request that the DVD's be redone to include the openings. Remember to not be rude or insulting in your E-Mails, Calls, or Snail Mail. Just remember to tell them, that even if they are just recaps of the previous episode, they are important to the story.

I really hope that Funimation will fix this problem and future releases will be better.

Well, it seems that the 'missing intros' are only on the DVD versions. Which is stupid as hell. According to a post by Whitewolf89 in the New TMNT area of the forums, his VHS copy of 'Return to New York' still has the intros.

Not really a problem with the DVD, but...
Vol. 7 and 8 feature "Interview with Peter Laird, Part 7" and "Part 8" (respectively)... isn't this a bit innacurate since there never was a Part 5 or Part 6... or did I miss somethign? They're not on my DVD copies. As for the cut recaps... purists want EVERY second, i know... but other titles (such as Buffy) have been cutting the recaps from the eps, since you can jump from 1 ep to the next... that way you can jump right into the action without the recap breaking the narrative flow. Im cool either way... dont mind 'em gone but if people want them there, they should keep them there. |

LOL And Splinter, no offense, bro, but I'm a "she", not a "he". Just thought I'd let everybody know that. (Geez, I GOTTA get my regular avatar finished, fixed and up here!) LOL No probs on this, though; it happens to me all the time. Hyper Metal Sonic did the same thing. I guess it comes from the fact that nobody figures a gal would have a nick like "Whitewolf"...with or without the number hitched on behind it. And the shortened version of ny nick is "Wolf" or "Wolfie". LOL

Sorry about that, Whitewolf89. No offense intended. I just usually go with 'him' if I'm not sure on someone's gender. And online it's nearly impossible to know for sure. After all, Machias thought I was female for a long time also. I guess it's my adoration for Splinter.
But now a small news update. It seems we have some folks joining the cause. And not just small potatoes. The website TVShowsonDVD.com mentioned our charming site, and also is going to try to get some word from Funimation over the missing DVD intros. So hopefully we'll get them corrected. And they won't be missing on future DVD's. You can see the news here. Quote:

That news post also tells us that Turtles in Space only has 4 episodes on it and it will continue into Search for Splinter...

Yeah, I'm a bit suprised by that. But I guess they're trying to divide the episode up so that there will be 8 volumes for each season. So it looks like this will be the likely line ups for Vol. 9 and 10.
TMNT Vol. 9: Turtles In Space: 29.) Turtles in Space - Part 1: The Fugatoid 28.) Turtles in Space - Part 2: The Trouble with Triceratons 29.) Turtles in Space - Part 3: The Big House 30.) Turtles in Space - Part 4: The Arena TMNT Vol. 10: Secret Origins: 31.) Turtles in Space - Part 5: Triceraton Wars 32.) Secret Origins - Part 1 33.) Secret Origins - Part 2 34.) Secret Origins - Part 3

Thats a horrible idea to split up the episodes.

Yes, it is as it spoils the continuity of the story-arc. The five parts of "Turtles in Space" SHOULD have been kept togther, as a whole, and another ep added to Volume 10, behind "Secret Origins" Grrrrrrr! I hate idiots!
And Splinter, no probs on my gender. Happens all the time. I hope when I get my permanent avatar up here that it will correct some assumptions. My fursona/char, who has the same name as my online nick, is ALSO female. But like I said, there's no offence taken. LOL You ain't the first to do it, and I doubt seriously that you'll be the last. It ain't no thing with me. I'm still a fan of the TMNT, no matter WHAT my gender.

Am I missing something? Volumes 7 and 8 have the Peter Laird interview. But Volumes 5 and 6 don't.

Who cares? You already know what happens because you've got all the episodes. The recap narrations were only for the original airings of the episodes when there was a week between them. They're not needed on the DVDs.
Don't be so picky.
