Funimation Recalls / Postpones Release for Baka and Test Season 2 LE

Today our copies of the Baka and Test Season 2 Complete Collection DVD/BLURAY Combo Set (Limited Edition) arrived from Funimation. Just as we were getting ready to print out the pre-order tickets to send them out to the floor to be filled (and in what is probably the first case of impeccable timing since I started in this business 14 years ago) a message from Funimation flashed up on my computer warning us that a defect had been discovered in the set and that Funi was recalling all the sets that had already shipped out.

Apparently the sets shipped with the wrong art printed on the DVD disks. We will be returning our copies to FUni as requested, and they have pushed back the street date by two weeks to January 29th to facilitate the repressing and shipment of corrected sets.

Yeah, disc 1 was misprinted with art for the Extras disc, so it looks like there's a duplicate. Could be confusing

At least they caught the issue before they were shipped to consumers.

I believe TRSI had already shipped copies out. Report from TFP, that copy was reserved on 12/31. So it's very likely copies have just shipped out to customers. EDIT: one report from ANN that their copy shipped on 1/3.

someone should do disc art comparisons

I'm both curious as to whats different and why it warranted a recall


(unless by "art" they're saying "encode" in a weird fashion)

FUNimation Delays & Recalls BAKA AND TEST, Season 2 DVD/Blu-ray Combo
Posted on: Friday, January 4, 2013

FUNimation has recalled and slightly delayed the BAKA AND TEST, Season 2 DVD/Blu-ray Combo that was scheduled for release on Jan. 15, 2013. (DVD 2 of the set incorrectly features the silkscreen art for Extras Disc 2, so it looks like there are two "extras" discs. The content on both discs is correct.) We've shipped our inventory back to FUNimation and replacement sets are on the way. However, a number of the Season 2 sets were already en route to customers before we were notified of the issue. Customers who have -- or will soon receive -- the set have the options to keep the set "as is" or contact customer care to receive a copy of the corrected disc (at no charge), when it is available.

Got my set today. Season 2 disc 1 has episodes 1-10 while disc 2 has episodes 11-13 and the extras. (Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts Spinout!, Promo Videos, Original Commercials, U.S. Trailer, Textless Songs, Previews.)

Here's a BDInfo comparison between seasons 1/2's BDs:
Season 1: Disc 1/Disc 2
Season 2: Disc 1/Disc 2

Hi guys,

Could anyone please confirm if the Baka and Test Season 2 and the OVA Collection DVDs/Blu Rays are Region 4/B compatible. (NTSC and PAL differences don't matter). As far as I'm aware, the blu rays are both region A and B, but the DVDs I'm not sure off.

Thanks in advance
