I've been waiting for the solicitations for a while now. Does anyone have any idea when they might come?
-
They're up now. Check the store.

So I'm a bit perplexed about this, Seraph is getting an all-in-one collector's edition this go around, but the pricing is very strange. The first part has a slot for part two, but why is it cheaper to buy them separately? Am I missing out on something if I just get the regular edition of part 2 (I have the CE of part 1)?
Other than a box that doesn't say "Part 1" on it, I'm not sure what is making up the remaining cost difference.

The CE's details are listed under the shop if you click on the Seraph specials.

It kinda almost seems like they released two different versions of CE, with this new and more expensive one (that is the entire show) being significantly superior to the first one they put out (that goes along with the part two advertised here).
-

Ah, I wasn't seeing those details on the RightStuf listing. I'm not sure I'm willing to dump $150 on the CE for the book when I have the CE of part 1. I'll have to sit on this.
-
I am excited to see Psycho-Pass getting a season one complete release. I have been holding off on getting that show, but now I think I'll have to get it. Very nice.
-
How do you know if you are in the first 500 to get the high school dxd season 3 pillow?
-
So a weird thing about last month's solicitations is that a lot of them had ONLY English listed as a spoken language. Obviously this isn't the case, but I see that Rainy Cocoa is listed only in Japanese this time around, when there was definitely some kind of bilingual dub. Is this a typo or does this only refer to the fact you can't switch between them because it is bilingual?

No, there wasn't.

Okay I think I know where your confusion is coming from. Lemme help you out with that.
The Digital Manga of Rainy Cocoa prided itself on being one of the first manga audio releases of having a bi-langual track, one with Japanese Voice Actors, and the others with American Actors. That only applied to the audio manga, and does not apply to the anime itself, which has been confirmed to be sub only.

Okay, I am a little confused about how they release broadcast dub shows on Bluray. I have read from a lot of you that it takes about 12 months or so for a broadcast dub show to get released on Bluray. Now, my question is this: I see that Seraph of the End: Season 1 Part 2 is getting released, but didn't it air the season after Gangsta, Prison School, Sky Wizards Academy, etc.? I also see that The Heroic Legend of Arslan is coming out on Bluray soon, which I believe also released that season, if I'm not mistaken. So, why do some shows get released sooner than others? Should we be expecting those earlier broadcast dub shows anytime soon? Thanks in advance for any answers you can provide.
-
My guess is, those shows just happened to be more successful, so they are prioritized for their home media releases over others.

I'll be honest…..I don't know.
Usually it takes a while to get all the materials, which is why you have the whole 12-16 month expectation thing, but somehow Seraph seems...weirdly fast in comparison. First part came out before even a couple of the Winter titles, and the 2nd half which came out in Fall 2015 is coming out before even any of the SUMMER 2015 line up. So either for that one they were really able to get the materials THAT fast or....honestly I'm not sure.
The only thing I can MAYBE see is that maybe their partnership with NBC Universal allowed them to receive some of the materials faster than they would most shows, and I don't think they had to wait around for any OVAs like with some other shows.
At this point, consider Seraph of the End the strange exception to the rule of 12-16 months, and I cannot honestly tell you how or why at this time. It just is.

That is pretty weird, although, you do bring up some good points. At any rate, thanks for explaining that for me. I was worried that maybe since Manglobe Studio went bankgrupt, that Funimation wouldn't be able to get the final materials for Gangsta. Glad to hear that it is just a case of Seraph being the strange exception.

Manglobe Studio was only hired to animate Seraph, so they did not own the materials for the show.

Only HSDxD Born for me.
Although I would have thought they'd have saved this one for October for reasons, but that must mean Overlord will be next month…

This wasn't originally listed, but also available for preorder is the anime film Hal, made by Wit Studio.
Summary:
From the studio behind Attack on Titan comes the directorial debut of a bold, new voice in the world of anime. Kurumi"s heart was broken by the sudden death of her boyfriend in a tragic airplane accident. Forced to carry on without her beloved Hal, she fell into a reclusive and joyless existence. Kurumi had given up on the world, but a brilliant scientist devised a plan to win her back. By melding futuristic technology with the binary equivalent of human emotion, they created an ultra-lifelike robotic surrogate to take Hal"s place and lure Kurumi from her shroud of solitude. Resistant at first, this shattered beauty slowly yielded to her feelings of longing and took comfort in the company of a robot. Though their unique bond grew stronger with each passing day, Kurumi and Hal would soon discover that nothing about their artificial love story was quite as it seemed.Trailer:

Hal is listed in last month's Solicitations (which needs to be stickied, along with this, Hardy).
