Grav's Thoughts

I think I just realised something. For the past couple of months I've noticed Sentai haven't put out any collection sets for quite a while now. It looks like they have ditched the collection sets in favour of complete series sets instead, which would explain My Love Story and now Utawarerumono False Faces plus Gate (which is coming soon in 2017). I think Haikyu!! Second Season may also receive the same treatment as well, considering it's one of two remaining titles left from the Autumn 2015 season.

Anywho, here's the new additions:

Girls Beyond the Wasteland - Winter 2016 Season
Is the Order a Rabbit?? - Autumn 2015 Season
Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle - Winter 2016 Season
Utawarerumono: The False Faces - Autumn 2015 Season

Gatchaman II - Catalogue license

It's nice to see Utawarerumono fans getting their second season title released and also with a dub. The dub should be the same cast who worked on Season 1 and the OVA collection. The rest are subtitled only which tends to hit or miss people, especially the dub only fans.

The only re-release for this month is the limited edition release of My Love Story!! which was confirmed a while back and now it's here, and even more pricier than the Beyond the Boundary set to my surprise. Granted the show is a double-cour title so that's going to bump up the price tag, and considering the JP sets didn't have much to share in terms of extra content, at least Sentai did their best to have as much to offer for their release.

The surprise of the month is Gatchaman II, which I believe is part of that Tatsunoko package deal that Sentai have barely been using for the past few years.

Autumn 2014:
Tribe Cool Crew - Audio TBA - 50 eps - Sunrise

Spring 2015:
