Grav's Quick Opinion on the Line-up

FINALLY IT'S COMING OUT. I've waited quite some time for Sentai to release Monster Musume, but now it has a release date and even a collector's edition. I'm certainly going to pick it up, especially as the $150 SRP is pretty reasonable (I was expecting much higher for some reason). It does look like my assumption for the long wait seems to be correct, as the runtime is noted as 350 minutes which matches 14 episodes of length; the show is 12 episodes long so the other 2 episodes are OVA related. GATE getting a CE is a surprise but I did enjoy the first half of the show (haven't seen the Fire Dragon second-cour arc yet). If the price is right I will probably end up getting it.

Another Gatchaman title gets released, no Blu-ray in Japan as far as I'm aware so it remains DVD only for now. And Valerian & Laureline gets a release in perfect timing as the live-action film is due for release in the summer I believe.

All that's left now for the potential CEs are Food Wars!, Ushio & Tora (planned as a 39 episode collection), possibly every title left in the Spring 2016 season and the rescue titles.

That's it for the Sentai line-up. Here's the backlog.
