As much as I want it I'm broke and bills come first. But its still on Crunchyroll where it remains cause Aniplex like to cover all bases when it comes to streaming portals. xD Now if they will only put the Magi dub up on CR that would be great.
I'm just waiting for the eventual release of the Angel Beats VNs on steam if Key didn't can the project. Going to be far better than the anime anyways with multiple routse and ending and character backstories never brought up in the actual show strewn across multiple games. |

Angel Beats on Blu Ray has been on sale for $20.00 every year for the last 4-5 years during the Rightstuf Christmas sale, so if you haven't bought it by now you have no excuse to whine about.
That's how I got my copy, the fact that I have been so busy with work it's still sealed in the shirkwrap waiting for to get around to re-watching it some day. I originally owned it on DVD when it first came out paid about $35.00 for it on sale with free shipping at the time, then sold it for what I paid for it so I got my money back. The list of Aniplex titles that were going to expire has been out for awhile. If you want to own it buy it now because it's going to sky rocket on Ebay when it's sold out. |

Not really, yeah Funimation is now Sony Pictures Television, but all the Sony Products are managed independently, Sony Music Artists, Sony Music Entertainment, Aniplex, A1, among hundreds more. It's like in car industry Fiat owns a lot of brands: Chrysler, Dodge, Ferrari, Jeep, etc. They are all managed independently although they are under the same conglomerate. |

I'm wanting this, but they don't ship outside the US. What sad excuse do they have for that?

It’s possible that Aniplex USA will eventually do a release of their own and include the OVAs that are not on the Sentai release — Sentai’s has “Stairway to Heaven”, but not “Another Epilogue” or “Hell’s Kitchen”. But given that Sentai has flooded the market with an inexpensive release for years, and are going out with a bang with this sale, it’s also possible that Aniplex will decide that not enough people would be willing to double-dip, especially at crazy Aniplex prices (“sure, it’s $150, but it has postcards!”).
Yeah, but we haven’t heard a peep about the English version of that since Key said last year they were working on it (which wasn’t a formal announcement, but just an answer to a Q&A at ACen 2016), nor is there any indication whether “2nd Beat” (with routes beyond the first game’s Yui, Iwasawa, and Matsushita) is happening. |

I love their emotion behind this; Funimation's responses to Aniplex's license shenanigans range from general embarrassment to announcements after the fact to completely using this to their advantage; When their FMA ran out, they sold the first collector's edition and when that ran out, they sold the Premium Collector's Edition.
No, Sentai's response is more that of a fan. While they're not giving them away exactly, they're also not hoarding copies and raising the price to full MSRP like I've seen Amazon do. I wonder if they're trying to flood the market like a final "*thank* you" to a company that will bury any title that isn't Double A Premium. Hey, remember Nerima Daikon Brothers? If you do, it's no thanks to AoA, that's for sure... |

Hey, at least that got two releases, from ADV and Funimation. Think about Aniplex-controlled titles like Mekakucity Actors that have never gotten a physical release in English. |

As crazy as this sounds, I would be willing to pay Aniplex prices to buy this show again if they redubbed it with a "Charlotte-quality" dub. The current Angel Beats dub is pretty disappointing...

Don't worry, Aniplex will have you covered. But for a price lol. |

Just secured my copy. I read the article this morning but didn't read the comments about the code for discount. Ended up see the discount code through a Facebook post that was shared by Visual Arts or Sekai Project (can't remember which one shared it).
I'm excited because the wife hasn't seen it yet and she liked Charlotte. Angel Beats is good, except the ending...

I feel like I probably wouldn't even like the show all that much, since it's far from my genre wheelhouse, but whenever I see news like this I seriously have to fight against the "Buy it now!!!" impulse.

I was wondering when Sentai was going to announce this, I bought it awhile back when I knew it was going out of print, it expired, back in August!
