Looks even more awesome when it's got a bigger resolution picture.
Can't really tell if it's going to be thinpak or digipak still though. I bet it'll be thinpak, the picture just looks like it.

As the pictures posted right after your post show, it's a digipak. FUNimation has a tendency to make their boxes appear thicker than they are on the images. I remember seeing a picture of the DBZ Season-sets, and once I actually got one, I was surprised at how thin it was, as the pictures made it look alot thicker.
But yeah, the box does look pretty cool. Not like it matters to me, I'm buying it because I thought the show was awesome, not because the box is pretty. (Proof: I'm also going to buy the limited edition of Lucky Star, despite the fact that I absolutely hate the covers on those.)

This will probably go well beside the Fumoffu-thinpak.

I concur, it looks wonderful! I might like this new forum much better in the end.... I have to ask though, is everything going to be moved over here, or is someone going to have to go by each one of the recent postings and post them again?
And well, Funi doesn't do many thinpaks. They've only done two and all of their already finished shows that are getting a collection like 98% off the time come out as a digipack. I really don't care about either thinpak or digipack since they have their good and bad aspects for me. And well, I already have the original box and singles, so it's not like I have to buy it again :) .

That's nice.... these bigger packaging shots make for a nice change for this part of the forums. No display in the thread titles, but this makes up for it.
As for thinpaks, the Aquarion box looks to be a thinpack set, so I imagine we could see more of those from Funi...

Yup and the latest Fruits Basket collection, and the Moon Phase boxset to some extent, were all thinpaks, so there's a pretty good chance this might be.

True... but it gives more of a vibe of digipack with the other images that WTK has put up. It may be a thinpak though... you never know.

Nice box, but I think the front cover could have done without the homicidal twin :p Just seems kind of slapped on...

Well the set came in for me, it IS a digipak. But it's a pretty fancy one. it has two trays , two disks each, but you can't see the second disk unless you turn the "disk page" (the top disc tray folds out and snaps back into place and stuff) It's definitely a nice boxset.

That confused me a bit. Maybe someone will post some pics in the next few days to be able to picture what you mean. Maybe my brain is just wanting to stay shut off as much as it can though, so maybe that's it.

That is an interesting type of digipak packaging. I don't think I have seen one that before.

Yeah same here. I think it's kinda slick.
I look forward to getting mine at the end of the week.

At least they didn't try and stuff the entire series on 2 discs, eh. Mine should arrive within a few weeks.

Pretty neat. I still prefer the original box with singles of course, but for a digipak it is nice.
Ah, great mousepad by the way, UEHacker! :sdsmiley:

Huh? Not a bad set up for a digipak. I have the original singles, but if I didn't, I would have gotten this.

Good digipak, nice way to make it. (and yeah nice mousepad)

Wow, that digipack style I like! Now I know what you mean and I can say that if I didn't already have the singles, that I would be loving it.

I'm joining in the talking about the mousepad. I zeroed in on it as soon as I saw the pictures since I have the same on eby my laptop. Alos, forgot to say thanks for the pics!

Mine is on the way... can't wait until it arrives.
That's a neat looking/designed digipak set...

That's slick box set they did there and one that I'll put it up soon. :bigsmile:

I think the Thundercats series 1 set I got for my birthday was similar to that. It just keeps unfolding and unfolding with something like 12 discs packed inside.

I think I can safely assume that this set has the same problematic low bitrate video as the original discs? Can anyone can confirm the video quality?

It's the same. And the packaging for this set is horrible as well.

Might as well get it for as cheap as possible then. I like my Melissa Mao fixes. :)

Funny, everyone else said it was great. And it certainly looks like a convienient way to store it to me. Much better than the overlapping discs on the DBZ-season-sets or the UK-box of Azumanga Daioh.

It's been out for over 2 months now, I believe. I'm pretty sure it came out in the end of May.

Yeah, it has been out for awhile. I have the original boxset like I said, and I love it! This reminds me, I gotta rewatch this soon. More Sousuke (blowing things up :P) is always good!

Oh crap you just reminded me I have the empty artbox in my cupboard somewhere! I really need to buy the singles to fill it up before they disappear! *frantic thoughts*

They were in the TRSI Bargain Bin for awhile... they might still be available there.

TRSI is a problem for me unfortunately, I think I'll get them from DVD Pacific, the price isn't too terrible.

I understand... there are some stores that are problematic to some destinations.
