The new release calls these newer combined packs "Seasons" and not "Parts" like the original release that FUNI did. The original releases had only 2 discs, while these newer sets have 4. I assume they simply consolidated two "Parts", and called them "Seasons" to make it cheaper for people. The cover art is also slightly different as well. On the newer ones, there's a holograhic Shenron behind the main art piece. The originals didn't have this. The aspect ratio on both are the same from the product specs, so I don't think you'll need to worry about it being in widescreen. Edited by Ketchup Revenge, Mar 4 2014, 08:25 PM.

EDIT: I looked it up; after a while of searching, parts 1-4 have Yamamoto's composition while the latter four parts, and the seasons collection, are composed by Kikuche. Shoot, I should have realized that before purchasing the seasons. Regardless of Kenji's ethics and legal issues, I still preferred that soundtrack. Should have purchased the parts :/ Edited by Tatumjay, Mar 8 2014, 01:30 AM.

Chrome Favourite Manga One Punch Man	Here's the deal... FUNimation originally released Kai in the 13-episode "Part" sets, on both DVD and Blu-ray. There were a total of four of them for the Saiyans-Freeza arc, and then another four for the Androids-Cell arc. The first four, for Raditz through Freeza, originally had the Yamamoto score. But after the plagiarism scandal, they were re-released with the original DBZ Kikuchi score as a replacement instead. The Cell-arc sets never had a Yamamoto-score version. Later, FUNimation released 26-episode "Season" sets, with 2 for each major arc. This was well after the Yamamoto scandal, so I'm almost certain the seasons never had the Yamamoto score - only the replacement Kikuchi one.
