View Full Version : Season 1 Set, Not Exactly...
Amazon.com has a listing for this DVD, and seems it's Season 1 Part 1! Like recent releases, looks like Funimation is starting TMNT's re-release with a 2-Disc/12-episode routine.

How much is it?
EDIT: $12. http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Season/dp/B000NJMJKM/sr=1-27/qid=1172680904/ref=sr_1_27/002-1854902-2769622?ie=UTF8&s=dvd
And, I thought they finally quit ignoring the demand for FULL SEASON SETS... :evil: What retards...

A little disappointing, but much better than the three-episode discs they had. The list price is $17, but Walmart and even Best Buy don't sell them at list price. Not bad at all... I suppose the annoying part is waiting for the second half to come out.

I got the three-episode singles on eBay of those episodes for about the same price recently so now there's nothing in it for me until the second set comes out.
The really bad thing about this is the people who were on the fence about whether or not they wanted to spend more money on episodes they already paid an arm and a leg to buy have hopped down to the "F this" side. This release will only serve to introduce a new audience to the cartoons. And, assuming they're trying to keep in line with the two previous 2-disc sets (so they never have to rerelease the eps on that Season Four set), the next Season Four set will be devastatingly out of order, and we can forget about ever getting extras again. :flaming:

This is pretty lame. But it does make a bit of sense in the fact that they're going 12 and 14 episodes to justify for the DVD titled "Season 4" having the last 14.

I figured they would do this after seeing the Season 4 and Fast Forward DVD releases. Oh well. Like someone said earlier, better than the 3 or 4 episode releases we have been getting.

Exactly. What's the point of only releasing half seasons at a time -- making us wait longer and pay more taxes in the process? At this rate, it'll take four years to get the entire damn series on DVD.
Kendamu

I'll start getting these when the second half of season 1 is released and forward provided I can't get the singles of the same episodes for less on eBay.

Goongasnootch would know. He submitted info to NinjaTurtles.com a week ago about a Funimation representative telling him that the plan was for it to be 26 eps, but Funimation has no say over it since they're only distributors.

Bah...It won't make a damn bit of difference. They haven't changed their act since they began releasing these stupid DVDs in 2003, and I doubt they'll change anytime soon.
Already owning all the 2k3 DVD's and FF, I don't mind this approach. Sometimes at night I pass out watching my DVD's. Thing is, when I wake up, I like for episodes or movies to still be playing so the menu image doesn't burn into my 57 inch HD widescreen. So having the same ammount of episodes as season 4 or FF volume 1, is entirely fine with me.
Oh and there's the issues that the end of my 400 disc DVD player is going to be filled with both Turtle series overtime, makes this approach even better.
2k3 Season 1 comprised of 8 DVD's now shrunk to 4. I'll take that.
2k3 Season 2 comprised of 6 DVD's now shrunk to 4. I'll take that.
Yea, six disc loss already, I like them odds. Leaves more room for all the blockbuster movies of yesteryear.
Oh and the kicker to all this is my assumption. Taking their time to release each part of each season, allows for more people to find out about the Turtles. The more that people keep buying things Turtle related, the more we might keep seeing a show on the air.

If they include bonus features (this one or next), I'll be buying it.
You mean new bonus features, right? That's the only way I'd bother with it. Being jerked around like this has exhausted my ample supply of patience. They have to do something really impressive for me to even consider getting the Fast Forward DVD now. May gobo have mercy on their souls... :evil:
kerfootw
03-01-2007, 06:29 PM
Sorry gobo, but I think this'll be their last go. If people don't buy these, then the next part won't come out or any more TMNT DVD's period (that'd better not include the Tribunal season though). Besides, I'd really want to see the bonus features on the 1st season DVDs, so why shouldn't they include them on this?

Okay, kids, I found the following on the official website just now. Maybe it will answer SOME questions.
Joe Lyons from 4Kids Entertainment sent this info regarding the season set DVDs:
Season 1 Part 1 will be in stores May 22. It will feature the first 12 episodes with part 2 out in September. The cover will feature original sketched comic-style art.
The cover may be a step in the right direction. But, is it enough to warrant a purchase? The fact that what used to take up four volumes of shelf space will now only take up one is a good thing, but they have lost my appreciation. Being that we now have confirmation of this new development without any mention of bonuses suggests to me that they aren't even planning to reissue the original supplementary materials. Even with my immense love for the show, this has gone to the bottom of my list of priorities until further notice.

I'm buying them!
The real test will be when they start doing the rest of the seasons...will they have the eps in order or not?
Surely not Season 4. They don't want to have to replace all those Season 4 sets they already released. I guess they'll be out of business before they realize that you can't just sweep your mistakes under the rug forever. I'd gladly pay $35 for a full Season 1 set with some bonuses, but we may never get one at this rate. That's what I'd pay for a 26-ep collection from Warner. Why they thought no one would pay more than $1/ep for all 26 is beyond me.

They only released that one Season 4 "set" which I can easily see them revamping in proper order. 4kids/FUNI typically release their anime in DVD sets over and over again, they may do it with TMNT as well. I don't see them re-doing FF though because with the 13 eps set for that, there's no reason too.

Well, the reason for THAT might be that the FF eps are in the correct airing order. Why re-issue them IF they got it right the FIRST ime?
For once.:lol:

I think I'm gonna import it (Maybe with The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya volume 1) , since I have only seen bits of season 1 on TV. $17 isn't that bad at all for only the half of one season, but I actually don't trust Funimation so much after what they have done to Dragon Ball Z (Widescreen (DBZ is 4:3 scale, not 16:9), cropped, *cough* the way it was meant to be seen according to Funi *cough*).

Considering I didn't buy any of the sinlge disks (with the exception of Shredder Strikes abck, only for the Kirby ep. with the alternate ending), I am still looking forward to this. I will say there's no excuse for it being released like this, but it's a step in the right direction, at any rate.
But unless they're all released close together (which they won't be) it'll take FOREVER to get the entire series in semi-sets.
But then again, 10-12 bucks for 12 episodes beats 15-17 bucks for 4 episodes anyday!

Like it really matters as long as they get all the way to season 4 part 1 and they fix the damn order I don't care. A season 4 set would be retarded at this point since half the season is out in order already.
Plus they make more off single releases.

It was only mostly in order. But, I expect them to consider that to be 'good enough'. :roll:

May 22nd, eh? I said originally that I wouldn't go for it but the whole "less discs to mess with" idea seems like a good reason and 6 episodes on a standard DVD shouldn't be too packed with info to make the video quality lower.
I wouldn't expect too much in the deptartment of extras, though.

It would just become "season 4 part 2", then. Only, not labeled that way. They'd probably rerelease it with updated labeling in the future anyway... I just wouldn't need to get it. :D
The season 4 set was in order...
not quite,http://www.ninjaturtles.com/cartoon/2005/synopses/90.html
is not on the dvd and should go afte Still Nobody, so yeah its "almost" in order.
Thanks, sdp. That's exactly what I was getting at. Actually, I played around with the ep list to see some possibilities for future release ep line-ups. Assuming they try to keep the seasons separate (which I can easily see them abandoning for a simple 'economy pack' line now), I guess it would make sense for them to do a 'first half of Season 4' set (including the first ep or two from their previous Season 4 release). Then, they could delay the second half for however long, pushing people to buy up the remaining copies of the obsolete but good enough set, and releasing "The Ninja Tribunal" on The Lost Season set if they see it fit. But, who knows? Really, I hardly care anymore for the moment. -_-
My opinion about the set:
I'm ok with it we already knew it was going to be Season 1 for about 20 so it was going to be a budget title since then. The only complain is we now have to wait twice as long to get finish the show. I mean so what that its S1V1? we are getting them in order for a good price, its totally worth it, maybe even some extras.
My only question is why is it 12 episodes? if S1 is 26 then the next set should be 14 why not just squeeze 13 on each like the current FF set.
Ep 13 is "Notes from the Underground" Part One (of Three). That's why. All the following seasons can be divided into two equal parts while avoiding this issue though.

Navarre is the company that owns FUNimation (and FUNi puts out these DVDs). So, either FUNi's parent company is excessively dumb or there actually is a 26-episode set coming out.

Along with the already-noted TMNT and Winx Club, they have 2-Disc release for Yu-Gi-Oh and Sonic X as well.

I'll go out on a limb and say it'll be called "Season 1 Volume 2" because the FF DVD is only half the season and there's no numbers on it just a title. I don't see how else they would name it.

Good price but no bonus features (unlike the five-episode Season 1 DVDs) and the not-what-I-expected comic cover art do it in quite a bit. Still, they are going to release Volume 2 in September, hopefully it'll provide more stuff.
