So about four months ago we got the first Steven Universe DVD, Gem Glow. It has 12 episodes from the first half of Season 1 (AKA Season 1A) in a ramdom order and the pilot. I guess it's good if you really like the episodes on it or if you want to introduce the series to a friend or family member who also like cartoons. I don't plan on getting this DVD. Now don't get me wrong, I want to support this show, I mainly do so by watching it, but just having 12 episodes in a random order won't do it for me. I'm the type of guy who prefers having the complete seasons of a show on DVD, even if the release is devided into two halfs.

When it comes to shows like Adventure Time and Regular show, Cartoon network tends to release DVDs that just has a set number of episodes in a random order (first DVD 12 episodes, the rest 16 episodes) and eventually release the complete seasons on DVD and Blu-ray. It looks like they're doing this for Steven Universe as well.

For Teen Titans Go! however, has had much better releases. The show's first DVD release was Mission to Misbehave, which has the first half of Season 1, on March 5, 2014. Then nearly four months later, they released Couch Crusaders, which has the second half of Season 1. Recently, on April 14, they released Appetite for Disruption, which has the first half of Season 2. 7 days later they released the complete first season exclusively on Blu-ray. I have to ask. Why does a show like Teen Titans Go! get releases like this, but the three shows with (in my opinion) better quality get random compilation releases with the complete seasons having eventual releases? I don't hate Teen Titans Go! like many people do, I just find it average. I was hoping Steven universe would have the same kind of releases as Teen Titans Go! Season 1A (episodes 1-26) being released first then later in the year release Season 1B (the rest of the 52 episodes including the 3 that were moved to Season 2). But it's getting the same treatment as Adventure Time and Regular Show.

Complete Season DVD/Blu-ray releases for the two shows so far.

Adventure Time: Seasons 1, 2, 3, and 4 (all of which I own on DVD). Season 5 comes out July 14 of this year (I plan on getting it).

Regular Show: Seasons 1 and 2 in one set, and Season 3, which was relased almost a year ago and is a DVD exclusive. Some people were ticked that there wasn't a Blu-ray release while Seasons 1 and 2 were released on both formats. I own none of them.

As for Steven Universe, I hope we get the complete first season on DVD and Blu-ray at least by next year. I also hope that It will include "Open Book", "Story for Steven" and "Shirt Club", because they were meant for Season 1 and It wouldn't be "complete" without them. I think the pilot should be on it too. I know it's already on the Gem Glow DVD, but it's good for a Season 1 DVD or Blu-ray to have the pilot.

What do you guys think?

In your opinion, do you think the Season 1 DVD/Blu-ray Should include the 3 episodes I mentioned and the pilot?

P.S. I wonder how many copies of Gem Glow have sold do far? If you know, feel free to answer.
