Once again I'm more interested in the Kanto episodes being released on DVD in this set than the Best Wishes ones that are broadcast in HD, so these DVD are actually a step down on those. The quality though for the Kanto episodes is the best they've ever been released in so overall for the price its not bad for 16 episodes.

It's middle of Jan.2012：発売日 １２年０１月中旬.

That's quite true, HD-quality episodes on DVD is such a waste... too bad we're not going to see any Blu-Rays for the series, though we're finally getting the movies in this format.

Thanks. Embarrassing mistake we made, there.
