Industry News: Section23 Films June 2016 Release Slate

It appears I forgot to cover this release slate.. again. Apologises for that, I've been completely focused on Persona 3 that I ignored everything else going on. Never the less here's the new releases scheduled for the month of June from Sentai Filmworks and Maiden Japan.

Unboxing [US]: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Collection 1 & 2 (Blu-ray)

Despite being popular, the Brotherhood version of the Fullmetal Alchemist series is going out of print thanks to Funimation not being able to renew the license (they tried but Aniplex won't budge).

Here's a look at Collection 1 and Collection 2 of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

UPDATE: I've tweaked the details a bit as of 14th May 2018.
