Wow, I hate to say it, as a big FUNimation supporter...but Sentai wins this round for me.
Yes, FUNi nabbed some bigger named stuff, but I'm an old fan of s-CRY-ed, and really want to get a newer copy since some of my discs skip, so...yeah. Definitely double-dipping there, even if I don't like the show as much as I used to. And I've been wanting to see Kurokami too, so this works out great. Just please, Sentai, I will freakin' lick your boots clean for you, if you throw me a bone and license the s-CRY-ed anniversary film things and throw them on here too. Or at the very least, preserve the extras from the old s-CRY-ed discs. |

Considering most of funimation titles they rescued from Bandai I have already complete I probably will being buy more of these.

You missed listing a couple of titles.
They also got Brain Powered, Overman King Gainer, and Big O II. |

I already own several of those, but I'll probably pick up Zegapain, Betterman and The Girl Who Leapt through Space since I completely missed out on them. Infinite Ryvius might be a possibility too, provided they manage to get a better looking version out.

Seems like the biggest show Sentai got out of the deal was Big O. Some of these just pop up with a "huh? why did they license these?" question. Because I don't remember Argento Sama, Betterman or Z Mind being hits for Bandai when they had them.
But at least we'll finally be able to get complete collections of Kurokami & Zegapain now at a decent price. Since most of Zegapain's discs & Kurokami's final volume are hard to find and expensive. Looks like Sacred Seven will finally get a release here. Remember seeing something about Bandai licensing it, but it never got a release here before they closed up shop. Guessing both Funimation & Sentai are still talking to them about licensing Gundam. Also wondering if someone is going to pick up My Hime/My Otome series. |

Onegai Teacher
Could someone tell me or confirm if this got rescued from the Bandai catalog? |

So far the answer is no. Funimation is currently having their panel at Otakon as we speak. Gotta play the waiting game. |

I'm so glad that Betterman is being brought back. As a GaoGaiGar fan, it's great to see that I can soon acquire its sister series for a price that isn't outrageous.
But, yeah, Please Teacher would be nice, too... |

Great shows. I own most of them and want most of the others.
Awesome to see they'll be available again.
If they release OKG on blu-ray since it recently got one in Japan I will definitely double dip. Also, it's going to be awesome to finally get Zegapain since I had the complete set preordered before it got cancelled. As mentioned in the first post, it would be cool if they put out that s-CRY-ed film. Like with the Funi ones I guess I'll be looking at reviews to see if any of these re-releases are better either due to better DVDs or getting BDs since it's been so many years since some of these got their old DVDs that I own.

Excited to hear about S-Cry-Ed and Big O, as I have not seen either of these and I know they are considered classics. If they get a good release with a good price I'll definitely consider picking them up!

Not as exciting as the Funi acquisitions to me, but I'll still buy some of the stuff mentioned. It's a shame there's been no mention of Galaxy Angel.

Really happy to see Overman King Gainer get picked up - it's been long out of print and expensive even while Bandai Entertainment was still around, which was killing me since it's a show I often want to recommend to people. It's fun!
Before the update I was thinking, "One thing we won't see getting picked up is Brain Powered..." But, it does seem like I can never predict how people will react to that show, so it's cool to see it out there again. I kept changing my mind as it went on, but ultimately warmed to it. I don't suppose that ever got a Blu-Rays? |

I too am with you there, as Onegai Teacher has been on my must have list since I first read about it in an old issue of Beckett Anime Collector. Still, today was a good day for the saving of many good shows. |

I wish Big O could get a BD remaster, I'd double dip and buy that immediately.
