And so, FUNimation goes back to 1 DVD every 2 months....

"This isn't a review on the actual volume... I will say that the episodes are the next set of filler ones, which people who have first watched English DBZ should remember them as episodes 6-7 of the original dub, plus the first half of the full version of episode 8. Notably Goku does some extra running, we get to see Kuririn contact Tenshinhan and Chaozu about going to Kami's, and Lunch gets to make a brief appearance.
However, FUNimation is still releasing the volumes with 3 episodes only on each disk. This wouldn't be so bad if they had been releasing 2 volumes like they did in June, but with volume 4 DBZ uncut has gone back to only one volume, which means a petty 3 episodes every 2 freaking months. Meanwhile, on TV, Cartoon Network has just started the Frieza saga. Great, and we haven't even gotten to Goku's training on Kaio's planet, let alone the arrival of Vegeta and Nappa on Earth, and from the looks of it we probably won't be seeing those episodes until some time early next YEAR. Sorry, but with a pathetic release schedule like that I really have to lower my score severely. FUNimation can do better than this."
