Maiden Japan joins the SD on Blu-ray bandwagon meanwhile we have a couple more 'complete collection' re-releases.
As a brief reminder, there will be no DVD versions for any brand new releases and re-releases. To ensure consistency select titles that have sequel contents (whether it's a second series or a second film) will keep the DVD option for now.
The December 2018 release slate features the following:
- 1 new dubbed releases
- 2 Standard Definition on Blu-ray releases
- 5 Blu-ray only releases

Grav's Thoughts on the Release Slate:
So for the month of December we have a couple titles.
Catalogue:
Space Runaway Ideon
Xabungle
Summer 2017:
Dive!!
Xabungle
Summer 2017:
Dive!!
Winter 2018:
Takunomi
We have no limited editions this month which is expected given it's the Christmas season (and as you should know already, Sentai's LEs tend to get delayed a lot), but instead we see the introduction of Standard Definition on Blu-ray for the Maiden Japan titles from Sunrise.
That's right, both Space Runaway Ideon and Xabungle will be released as an SD on Blu-ray title. Discotek have done these sort of things so it's not completely new to us, but it's interesting to see Maiden Japan do the same. Both do contain their films if you're wondering.
Also included is one of the Amazon Prime NoitaminA titles called Dive!! which aired during the Summer 2017 season. Sentai managed to get Scum's Wish from the same programming block so it's no stranger to them. The series will be subtitled only on Blu-ray.
Aside from that we also have Takunomi coming to Blu-ray with an English dub. Sentai announced a bunch of English dubs at their recent conventions so that will please the dub fans a lot.
And lastly we have complete collection sets for Akame ga Kill! and Den-noh Coil, plus a Blu-ray version for Princess Tutu which is 'remastered in HD' apparently.
