Oh, wow. I was just about to pre-order that this Friday when I got my paycheck. Good timing, I guess? What exactly was the problem? Was there content from the wrong series or something?

Well, that's assuming the companies we bought it from knows about the recall and decides to clear their inventory and send us good copies later on instead of bad copies on the actual release date we have to send back, but yeah. |

More than likely it is the same situation, but sadly, not one Funi can legally fix. If the Japanese studio doesn't send a clean OP and ED, then all they have is the ending with the Japanese text hard coded onto it. They can't legally just download a raw from online and use it, that would be plain stupid. They're doing what they can with what they got, but it does make me wish they would bring back the alternate video angles like in their early dvds, that way they can have the Japanese text hard coded and then have the english staff endings. |

Or the could do what just about every other company does when they don't have a clean ED - run the English credits after the ED.

Well at least there's the Birdy mousepad to look at during the delay. I should have preordered the second season when I did the first as the price jumped back up and hasn't come back down...would have been nice to have gotten season 2 for $36 as well.
A clean opening for Season 2 would be nice, but if not then next best thing is the Japanese opening in HD, which I have in my Youtube favorites list. I don't care much for watching OP/ED past the first time when going through a series anyways, though for Decode 02 seeing it every episode would not be minded at all (It's one of my favorite openings along with Sky Girls.) But if you want to watch the opening/endings for Birdy the Mighty:Decode the English Subs has no image/text issue like the dub has. Would be a pain just switching to sub to watch the OP/ED then back to dub for the episodes though.... |

weren't the alternate angles funi used to use a large part of the reason the video quality on those early dvds was so horrible? i'll pass, thanks. |

Wait, so does that mean that the DVDs do not include creditless EDs or OPs? If so,
  What about the second season?

Luckily I haven't purchased it yet. I may have to wait on this one until next year when things are "a go". I usually will buy a series and stash it away until I get to it. It 'll sit on my shelves for months never knowing if there is a problem. I do try to watch it to check for problems.

For those of you wondering, second disc of the Birdy set that was shipped out is actually Disc 2 of the Season 4 boxset of DBZ.

I'm one of those who pre-ordered, still wondering if there was a problem.

We'll be advance replacing them once the fixed sets arrive for all of our customers who got early copies. Shouldn't be any inconvenience for any of our customers except for the wait. Did anyone notice that Funi put it on us retailers (again) to absorb the cost of the exchanges? Opps! - there I go, apparently whining again. Slap me with the splintered ruler. -_^ Bob (aka Robert) President The Anime Corner Store
