FUNi Suspends Further DBZ BD Releases

FUNimation has announced an indefinite hiatus on the continued release of Dragon Ball Z on Blu-ray. The “Level 2.1″ disc scheduled for release on March 27 will not be released. FUNimation has explained, “Due to technical challenges of restoring from the original film frame by frame, we are unable to continue these releases by way of this process.” FUNimation expects to research more practical and commercially viable means of remastering the Dragon Ball Z anime for future Blu-ray release.

I suppose this is going to push the after-market value of the domestic Dragon Boxes even higher than they already are, unless FUNi reverses its memoriam decision and begins reprinting them.

    The first DRAGONBALL series is hilarious and has some really enjoyable action… the first three, maybe four seasons are all pretty solid. After that, not so much.
