Now here is where it gets a bit cheeky. There will be at least two premium editions of the series released on December 16. Funimation will have its version and there will be another premium edition released on Amazon. Have a look at the differences below and choose wisely. Personally I like the description of the packaging for the Funimation edition but the Amazon version comes with pretty picture books. Sigh.
