Looks like Sentai Filmworks is planning on bringing out the big guns each month from now on. Amagi Brilliant Park has been a long time coming, and I'm glad that the series didn't suffer from Chunibyo's case where the Blu-ray versions were restricted to the collector's sets. The standard edition will include the Episode 14 OVA for those concerned. As for the price point, it's a bit too high but thankfully Rightstuf and other retailers can bring it down to a good level especially on sales.

We also have 1 rescue title from the Pioneer era with Green Legend Ran, a 3 episode OVA series for DVD and also a Blu-ray upgrade for Busou Shinki which is also a TBS title for those wondering. It looks like there's now only a very few TBS titles left to release I think for Sentai in terms of Blu-ray upgrades.

As for the new titles we have Uta no Prince Sama R (the third season in the series) from the Spring 2015 season, and both Comet Lucifer and Young Black Jack from the Autumn 2015 season. All three are being released with Japanese audio only and English subtitles.

Aside from the rescue titles, here is what's left now for Sentai to release (aside from very recent seasons):

Autumn 2014:
Tribe Cool Crew - 50 episodes

Spring 2015:
Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma [Dub Confirmed] - 24 episodes + 2 OVAs
