Finally, season completed!

Finally got the Volume six dvd today! I've been holding off on it because I was waiting to work my way through the five dvds I had, which took longer then I expected. However upon realizing the sixth volume had that epic season finale, I made sure to catch up.

My only complaint about the DVDs is that you can't skip the intro, instead you skip to the next episode. It's a minor issue though. Not sure if I'll collect the other seasons. I enjoy the series, but watching every episode can be mentally taxing

Yeah, Season 3 was split up among 4 volumes for some reason.

I usually watch it in small doses. I don't think there's any way I could handle a marathon run. The rest of the seasons have some pretty fun stories and characters sprinkled throughout them though.

I seem to recall seasons four and five initially being released as four seperate volumes. My guess is they didn't want to do multiple disc sets, so they fit as much as they could on one disc and sold it as is. Also an easy way to leech more cash from the fans.

Wait....which series we talking about?

I know...just some of the details had me confused. I thought that the only old toon DVD that had the "skip the whole episode" issue was volume 1.

No, I'm certain more of them do. (pretty sure all of the first six volumes).

Season 3 was hard completing through with the whole 12 episode volumes. I was easily able to watch through two episodes every day and would get bummed out when I finished the volume, I think for a show like the OT 3 is the magic number of episodes you can watch per day, any more and you start getting bored and you start forcing yourself to finish it instead of enjoying it. Of course there are some exceptions, when you're able to watch more like the 5 parter pilot and whatnot but yeah three generic fillers in a row definitely take its toll.

It'll definitely be the end of an era when the series finishes releasing, I found the drome when the first DVD came out back in April 2004 and everyone had given hope about S2 and then it was magically released a year later in April 2005 after that the releases became every 6 months and then 4 but of course they split up the massive Season 3 into volumes and for the movie they went to season sets, which was good since S4 was just as massive as S3, the rest of the seasons didn't matter as much since they weren't as big as S3/S4 but they were still sold as season sets which is good. Crazy that by the time S10 comes out it will be basically be 8 years since the first season came out. Any other franchise that isn't currently airing take 8 years to finish?

You are mistaken and are clearly confusing the situation with Season 7. Seasons 3 & 7 were the only two to be released as individual volumes. It wasn't long after the release of Season 7 in four separate volumes that they decided to repackage all four discs in a single case w/o the trinkets from Playmates. Season 3 remains divided among Volumes 3-6 though.

This, you're absolutely correct about. Season 4 was the first to have more than one chapter per episode.

I just had Seasons 2 and 3 in last night and it has chapters for skipping the intro, as does every following volume.
