I don't think they're silly at all, Dinny! Thanks for these :)

>1) Why don't they release DVD's that contain only the undubbed eps so that 
>people who have already bought the vids or the OZ DVD's can
>buy them?

Your idea is a good one, but I'm afraid they've finalised this - they'll 
definitely release 13 DVDs, 3 episodes each, with 1 undubbed episode on 
each.

>2) The 39 dubbed episodes had a lot of footage cut out of them.

Really? Where did you hear this?

>Why don't they re-insert those scenes in, with subtitles?

I honestly don't think they'd do this (a lot of work, as you say) - however, 
they could compromise by putting them on separately, as "Deleted scenes" (so 
you'd have to imagine how they fit in) - so at least we'd still get to see 
them. I'll definitely run it by them, but I can't make any promises of 
course.

>Or perhaps they could just include the complete Japanese versions
>of all 52 episodes with subtitles.  I don't know - what does
>everyone think?

I'd love it if they did this - it'd be great if each DVD had:
1) 3 dubbed episodes
2) The same 3 episodes in their original Japanese (with subtitles)
3) 1 undubbed episode

I strongly suspect they won't want to do this, as subtitling them would be 
just too much extra work...
However - a compromise might be to include the original Japanese episodes 
without subtitles?! (I'm not sure how popular this would be - but in a way, 
if you know the episode really well, you'd know what was going on without 
needing the subtitles?)

What does everyone else think?
