What you guys are forgetting though that is that's taken Seven Arcs nearly seven years to do this, and Nanoha and Dog Days are quite literally their only products. (No seriously, they've hardly produced anything else aside from a handful of one-offs here and there.)

This is not an anime studio that is coming in and throwing out a Blu-Ray release for one of it's many many anime adaptions. This is Seven Arcs putting out a Blu-Ray release for it's primary and damn near single IP product.
FYI, King Records is publishing these boxes and they also published the movie BDs. Since they are also in charge as the Selling Company, they recoup the funds of these products, not the animation studio. We do not know the exact details of the committee, but Seven Arcs was not the company holding back on these boxes; King Records was.

For those interested, King is adopting the same upscaling tech that they used for the Toradora BD-Box, which looks really good for an upscale. Nanoha fans should be pleased with the results.

Huh, did not know that. Very interesting indeed then.

I do look forward to seeing the result of what happens here.

Someone asked that in the first few posts of this thread. Their name was "bhl88", and they managed to ask it without a huge and irrelevant block of quotes. It has also already been answered, to the extent of the information currently available:

They just appeared for preorder on CDJapan's site. Currently listed as "no subtitles." I hope that changes.

*edited the post* Sorry about that

Usually, when they list the information out there, with the exception of the image, is it usually a final posting?
