Their first UMD release is DBZ movie 11, one of the worst anime movies ever created? Yeah, that's a wise business decision.

Oh man, what is FUNimation thinking? Movie 11 is one of the worst DBZ movies, and even one of the worst anime features ever.

But then again, Funimation's marketing of mediocre titles is uncanny, considering DBZ Movie 10 sold more than any other DBZ DVD to date.

I don't know, I don't even have a PSP, so I don't care. But maybe this means they'll release more of their shows on UMD, and more users will buy anime on UMD.

But on the good side, I'm glad I held off on buying Kiddy Grade and Tenchi Muyo GXP. Since they're now re-releasing them with more episodes, I'll gladly pick them up in November. It pays to be patient....

There's more episodes of GXP and Kiddy Grade? Where did you hear that from?

No, he means more episodes per DVD on this round of re-release. FUNimation is releasing Tenchi GXP and Kiddy Grade in 2 disc volumes. The discs are the same as the originals though.

Oh ok. Thanks for clarifying that for me.

It did? That is surprising, considering how weak the movie is.

Makes me wonder how they'll promote 12 and 13, the only two DBZ movies I would describe as "good".
