Funimation dvd discussion II ( UPDATED 8/4/12, FIRST POST FOR F.A.Q)

[Yonkou255]

So I just checked the exhibitors list for Anime Expo this year, and to my pleasant surprise Toei Animation, Inc. will have a booth this year. They only had a booth I believe once, and that was back in 2007, the year FUNimation got "One Piece".

I don't see why I wouldn't go again this year, so if there's Toei Animation staff there and you have any questions you'd want me to ask them let me know.

Ask them if they have talked to more Networks about airing One Piece. Also ask them about Pretty Cure.

[SpoonyBardOL]

Awww, that Usopp One Piece 101 painted my favorite character as...less than stellar. Kinda disappointing.

Really? He's my favorite character too and I loved it. Different strokes I guess.

[YouthNinja]

It just seemed like they focused on "He's a liar and a coward" for too long. Oh well. As firecrouch said, that IS how he was in the beginning, I guess.

EDIT: Hot Damn, I got the gift and bundle on my order too! Even if it's just a poster or something, this is still supremely awesome.

[Shift]

I got that bundle notice too, and I have 11 copies of the set on order. Here's hopin'...

[Samwize78]

Holy crap I checked my email and I have the gift as well! Perhaps this is why they are back-ordering them. Well lets think. I don't think the gift would be anything high-budget so..

Perhaps a disc with music samples, an separate DVD dedicated to extras with the English cast, um.. inserted art cards, production notes, character sketches.

I'm only going off of what FUNimation has included in DVD's in the past. But I'm not saying it couldn't be something they've never done before.

[MasterKingJC]

I have the gift and the bundle on reserve, too!
Oh, man. So excited! Why can't it be August already?

Goddamn, man. I didn't know you were rich. O.0

Reserved for my order? What's that mean!?! Alright, guys. Looks like we'll be receiving season four THIS MONTH! Great! TO all those upset about an August release date- we'll get i early.

Possible reason why my order is different: I reserved it the first day it was on rightstuf. Maybe that puts me at the front of the line? ...I hope.

[LUFFY#1 fan]

Man this is awesome! I really didn't think we'd be getting this so soon!

[kaizokuyuri]

Let's not get too excited here. The thing to look at is the status on the gift. A lot of times when you preorder from RightStuf the set will always say "Reserved for Your Order" until it actually ships. The whole thing has to say it.

[Zephray]

The thing is, reserved for your order means that they have the item in stock. Rightstuf always sends their items out once they're in stock.

[Elan_Morin]

So they're probably just waiting on the bundle gifts from FUNimation then.

And Zephray, I didn't order from rightstuf the day it was listed....I ended up waiting at least a week, maybe even as much as two and mine says the same thing as everyone else's.

"Order has been received"
or
"Reserved for your Order"

I don't really understand the difference in these. One must be farther along in the process than the other, and I'm assuming "reserved for your order" is the farther one.

[Samwize78]

I don't really care. Just the sooner it gets in these huggin' hands, the better.

[Zek]

Wait a minute..."huggin?" I thought only the Allspark had a swear filter that uses that

[Shift]

Goddamn, man. I didn't know you were rich. O.0

Not really; I just keep a budget of free spending money, and right now two month's worth is devoted to this cause.

[superneku]

This just in, we're getting Collection 8 in the whereabouts of September 25th.

Is there a source for this plz? :P

[Maron]

Mania. The usual.

Awesome, thanks very much.

Also I just ordered Collection 6. I'll have to wait until August for S4 V1 (for various reasons) so I'll be very much jealous of everyone getting their copies early but oh well. :P

[demonkicksanji]

I finally made my order for OP Season 4 Voyage 1 (along with Oreimo, Mahoromatic: I'm Home, and Redline). I can't wait to finally get it! I'm gonna watch it through my BD player so I can get as close to HD as possible. XD

[Zephray]

Oh, how I wish it were in HD. I wonder how noticable it'll be that it isn't. I've been watch an FMAB bluray, so I'm used to quality animation now... Hopefully, there won't be much of a difference.

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

(Q) What does the it mean when an item in my order is listed as "Reserved For Your Order"?
(A) This means the item is in stock and set aside to be shipped to you. Rightstuf.com may still hold your order until several items are available to ship all at once, but during that time, they will have all those items specifically set aside for you. There is, however, an extremely small chance that if Rightstuf.com may have a problem with inventory you may not get your product, but those occurrences should be extremely rare.

(Q) What do all these status phrases mean?
(A) For each shipment that is listed on an order on our web site, you will see one of the following statuses:

Not Yet Shipped - one or more items is on order from manufacturer
Shipped - the items on are on their way to you
Processing - the order is being reviewed, or the order has entered the shipping process (card authorized, product being packed in the warehouse).
Cancelled - the order has been cancelled
