So I see Kokoro Connect is listed at 325 minutes. Is it excluding the later few eps that weren't simulcast?

Yes, which is stupid because you need those final episodes to finish the show. They're not your typical BS throwaway OVA extras like we normally see. Don't buy that show until they license those four episodes.

A weak month from Sentai for me personally.

Yeah, my purchase of Kokoro Connect hindered on those other episodes being released. Maybe they are waiting to see if the regular season sells well enough to pick those OVAs up, but that is kind of silly when many won't buy it without the other episodes.

Wings of Honneamise is a sure thing for me though as I missed Bandai Visual's release.

I wasn't expecting them to release Gatchaman in one complete set. That and Di Gi Charat are possible buys from me. I already have the BV Wings of Honneamise, so I'll have to pass unless they include the commentary track.

Rightstuf has Kokoro Connect listed specifically as "Kokoro Connect TV", so it seems like there's some plan to release the OVAs(that or TRSI is just clarifying).

Perfect timing on that Gatchaman blu-ray set! Was about to pick up at least the first old box to at least refresh my memory of it a bit, had no idea we might get an actual big blu-ray collection.

Will also pick up more Phibrain and Hakuoki and Di Gi Charat I think.

Thinking about Kokoro/Campione.

Would totally buy Honneamise but I got lucky finding the bv set on sale or something at a best buy (I think) so unless there's a reason to double I may not need to. But awesome movie.

Kokoro would've been a must-buy if it had the last four episodes. But now I'm not so sure. I mean, the Oreimo set had the extra episodes (and yes I know it was a different company that released that), why not this?

Sentai did not include nor ever release the 11 Eyes OVA, which was a full episode (not short) in the last JP volume of the TV series.

And the last 4 eps of Kokoro Connect are not separate OVAs either. They're officially part of the TV series, as Volume 6 and 7, and also aired on AT-X.

So yeah, I would hold off on any purchase until confirmation of those last episodes

I share the sentiment with others in regard to Kokoro Connect. I am not buying an incomplete series. Sentai is still my favorite R1 distributor (even with the recent QC issues), but I do not understand what they are thinking with Kokoro Connect.

Well, here's what another user posted on Fandom Post's forum regarding the Kokoro Connect OVAs.

If the OVAs are indeed released, then I'm a bit more satisfied about it. It's a shame, as it is a series I really enjoyed and would have picked up in a heartbeat. I may wait until the OVA release is actually confirmed though.

I'm quite surprised that there was enough of an audience to justify licensing a third season of Hakuoki. I watched the first season and found the main character Chizuru really unappealing. I make it a point to watch at least some of any show that stars Kuwashima Houko, but Chizuru gave her little to work with. I found it especially disappointing in comparison to Saiunkoku Monogatari where Kuwashima got to sparkle as the dynamic and spunky Shurrei.

I see that two of the otome games for the PSP were translated and released here as well. I would never have guessed the audience for bishounen reverse harems was that big in the US.
