Grav's Thoughts:

A surprise selection to be honest, but nevertheless at least more Crunchyroll titles are getting released.

Catalogue/Continuing Titles:
D.Gray-man [Season 3 Part 2]

Spring 2016:
Hundred

Summer 2016:
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
Love Live! Sunshine
Mob Psycho 100
Taboo Tattoo

Autumn 2016:
Trickster [Part 1]

Love Live! Sunshine was in a sense leaked thanks to Anime Limited's Q4 2017 line-up but to my surprise it's not getting a limited edition release. You would think it would get one considering the previous series sold out day one for each season & the film.

Mob Psycho 100 gets the limited edition treatment and it deserves it, really good series and well worth a watch especially if you are a fan of ONE's work such as One Punch Man.

The Crunchyroll titles for this month are Hundred, Mob Psycho 100 and Taboo Tattoo, all of which are dubbed and subbed and on Blu-ray. So far it seems to have continued the trend of Region B|2 compatible discs but Funimation have changed their mind at times.

One Piece gets a new collection set with no. 21 which covers episodes 492-516. That's quite a fast turnaround because you essentially now have 21 collection sets that cover all of the story's first half (from East Blue all the way to Marineford). Episode 517 onwards is the New World storyline and that's where Funimation are currently at in terms of the dubbing process, so it'll be a very long time until more collection sets are due.

S.A.V.E. editions strike back with Dragonar Academy and Riddle Story of Devil. The latter is in fact still DVD only and does not look like it'll ever get a Blu-ray release in US & Canada. Anime Limited have the UK rights and are currently planning a Blu-ray release for those interested in that series.
