NEWS: Crunchyroll: Some Home Video Releases May Be Unavailable While SKUs Refresh

Anyone who has ever spent more than a day in retail understands this. Even a cashier is familiar with the fact and process that sometimes SKUs get replaced and you have a weird availability period on some products. Ever wonder why a product you buy regularly at the store suddenly is always out of stock only to suddenly be back again like nothing happened? Or why an item that scanned no problem last month the cashier now has to punch in numbers for or call to get a new code for? Or why you see that employee with a scanner just going up and down the aisles scanning barcodes and shelf tags? Like immortal1982 said, it's a daily occurrence in some businesses, just that regular consumers rarely think about or are aware of seeing.

I wouldn't get hopes up. I would imagine all that is happening is the removal of Funimation/addition of Crunchyroll branding from the packaging, and changing the product numbers. Things like packaging art/layout as well as on-disc content will probably remain completely untouched.

for those interested, the discs are slightly reauthored to remove the previews and replace FUNi’s logo with Crunchyroll’s.

The Dragon Ball Super steelbook discs have English text only. The discs are 1:1 with the old discs aside from the replaced startup warnings/logo and removed trailers. The menus are identical to the old 13 episode sets.

Quote:

Are the end of disc credits the same (will have its own chapter at the end, 10 seconds long), or did they change that too (possibly even the staff) where the Blu-ray authoring is credited to Crunchyroll, LLC instead of Funimation Global Group?

Just checked. It looks very consistent with the rest of the disc, but Blu-ray authoring is credited to Crunchyroll, LLC. If you want to know the staff credited, let me know.

FUNimation is still credited on the show's actual credits and bonus features.
