Sentai Filmworks' Angel Beats Release Goes Out of Print

.....Aniplex, if they rerelease Angel beats one day it's going to be super expensive, good thing Sentai gave us a discount code

So, either Aniplex already told them no license renewal, or Sentai knows it's coming and isn't going to spend more money on discs.

I am surprised you forgot option C! Funimation is now on a position to ask the parent company for all anime licences that Aniplex is not making a profit of. So don't be surprised if this and other titles appear on funi's S.A.V.E. line of boxsets.

Sony Pictures Television = / = Sony Music Entertainment Japan/Aniplex

Important distinction. Otherwise, Bandai Entertainment could've done the same with a ton of releases that other companies released but they didn't because you still need to go through the traditional licensing process, etc.

I laughed when I read this because it's base price is already expensive for 15 episodes (70 dollars, sold at 45...should be like 25 with the length it is).

Well many knew this was coming all year long. Its also been on quite a few Sentai sales, I payed $21.99 a few months ago. If you use the coupon code FAREWELL at checkout for this sale it drops it to $18.40.

I just ordered Angel Beats! based on this info. Thank you.

IMO what Bandai Visual USA inc. lacked back was a positive cash flow, rest in pieces;
