I know this just got solicited today, but I noticed the running time on this set is 250 minutes. That translates to about 10 or 11 episodes. All the previous sets are 325 mins with 13 episodes. Is Sentai seriously reducing the episode count whilst keeping that 49.99 msrp? (I noticed the run time on Eyeshield stayed the same). Do I have something wrong or is Sentai really trying to be that cheap? If they are they can cram it, to be quite honest.

Maybe that one sold well for them and they are trying to milk dry all the suckers that are hooked? Guess they gotta make a buck somehow. Subtitle only anime has a nasty stigma about it.

Here's your answer:

In other words, this might be the last set for a while until they license more episodes (if they do).

Yeah, it looks like there weren't enough episodes in season 2 to release a set of a full 13 episodes. So it'll have this kind of awkward release. If the problem really is the licensing of only two seasons, then when (if) they release the fifth set it should have thirteen episodes on it.

Ahhhh.....well that's understanable. Just wish they would have lowered the srp a little if there are fewer episodes. Not a big deal though. I hope they license the rest of it.
