[Jacob T. Paschal]

This is the talkback thread for VIZ Media Offers New "Bleach," "Death Note," "Naruto" DVDs for 1st Quarter 2008 (http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=21292).

Golly, that's a bunch of stuff. Looking forward to maybe picking up that new Death Note.

I'll be getting Bleach volume 9 {I already have volume 8,which has some of my favorite episodes of the series thus far},The next Naruto uncut boxset,and Death Note volume 3.... come to think of it,it seems like I buy most of my anime DVDs from Viz {though I also get some of Funimation's stuff,like Tsubasa Chronicle}....

[Dark Fact]

No new license announcements. I'm guessing it may be a bit later before we hear announcements for Gintama or Reborn.

Looks like their Prince of Tennis DVDs aren't dead after all.

[PC!]

Glad to see Prince of Tennis still alive and kicking.

I'll definitely be picking up Pokemon Season 1, Part 3. Wonder if they're going to rerelease the Orange Islands episodes, skip ahead to Johto, begin Battle Frontier, or even start with Diamond and Pearl. Whatever the case, I'm happy just with having all of season 1 on DVD, mainly for nostalgia's sake.

I believe Volume 4 will be the last one though...

I'm hoping for Battle Frontier, since it's the the only season not to be released yet (except D&P, of course). And I never saw the last two Battle Frontier episodes... :sad:

Definitely (http://www.animeondvd.com/forum/fbbuploads/1201848465-DPMBS4.jpg) going with the Orange Islands there.

I noticed my FYE had the set out early (no way I was going to but it from there though) and on the back of the box it mentioned that the extra this set is going to contain will be the "Pikachu Jukebox" music clips that they would air at the end of the those episodes.

Anyways, I already preordered the next two Naruto sets, the next 2 Death Note dvds as well as Bleach Volume 9. So I'm pretty much set from Viz for now.

All 35 Orange Islands episodes on one set? Consider it already bought in my book.

But...it says 36 episodes. Maybe it has the lost/banned episode, "Beauty and the Beach"?

All the original sets each had 12 on them as well

Set 1 (http://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99366177807277&item_id=40620&tab=5#topoftabs)
Set 2 (http://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?userid=99366177807277&item_id=542519&tab=5#topoftabs)

Aw, cool! Little doubt we'll be seeing Johto sets next, then.

:confused:

OK, then I'm confused, beause I'm sure the Orange League is only 35 episodes. Maybe I'll check Dogasu's DVD lists when his site is back up.

[FireStarterLE]

oh yeah i see where the confusion comes from now, yeah that's because "Pallet Party Panic" is the first episode on the first Orange Islands dvd thus making it 36 episodes.

[silverfox1027]

Definitely picking up the new DN. Only anime series that I've ever attempted to collect on DVD.

I wouldn't expect them before Fall if Viz got them this year. In the meantime they're shopping around Buso Renkin, Hunter x Hunter and Monster among other titles.
