Very likely using previous releases versus creating a new SKU!

Just realized that the FUNi releases for April hadn't been posted. It's a real slow month. And also, the D. Gray-man S1 Part 2 Blu-ray has been canceled and will be released at a later date, apparently.

Credit to WTK from AoD for getting this.

This about the only thing I have an interest in for April. I am still trying to decided if I want this version or see if the current box set comes down in price (I doubt it will happen.)

re: Str.A.In. - I thought that Funi's S.A.V.E. line had a $19.98 price point for shows with 13 episodes?

I've not read much news regarding FUNimation's S.A.V.E. line, but I will say this will definitely have me buying more anime. Most prices I've seen are at $29.99, but without ANN's handy Encyclopedia on hand, I don't know the number of episodes.

If it is indeed $20 for 13 episodes, I'm all in. *slides wallet to center of table.

Damn, FUNimation's been making some great changes lately. Hmm, I wonder if they've been reading my posts?

I knew I wasn't making this up:

Quote:
Brand Manager Charlene Ingram then came up to talk about the S.A.V.E. line. In the new S.A.V.E. line, Funimation is lowering the price on a lot of series that it has too many of, with 26-episode series selling for $29.98, 13-episode series selling for $19.98, and OVAs or movies selling for $9.98. Some of the series included in this new line include: Kanon, MoonPhase, Pumpkin Scissors, and Suzuka. The S.A.V.E. line will not omit any of the features of the regular edition DVDs. The new line will debut in March, with new titles being added each quarter


I got that from this article on the Funimation panel at Katsucon.

^Well, the RACS page has it retailing for $29.98 (they don't show the retail price, but it makes sense considering the price on there). I'll make note of that, though.

I wonder, are these S.A.V.E. sets similar to the Veridian green reissues? I'm not a big fan of flimsy cardboard boxes, since they crease pretty easily, and they just look odd sitting next to regular DVD cases. Though the prices are definately a major plus.
