Yeah, Rage of Bahamut is a sure buy for me but not the edition that comes with a 320 art book that only increases the retail price by about 20 dollars- and that includes the 5 dollars for the chipboard box.
What kind of 320 page book is only 15 dollars? Not much of a question, actually... |

How many years has it been? How many years?
Interesting that Kaze faced no such problems. Four years ago, or to this day. Interesting. |

Kaze is not a NA company. They are not selling in the same region as Japan. Depending on their contract they may not have the same required holdbacks on releases that NA companies encounter. And it was 3 years ago not four. Japanese companies can get pretty strict because of fear of reverse importation. At one point Kadokawa mandated that there would not be any BD releases in an upcoming year and sometimes companies could only release DVDs and no BDs until after a certain point. This is how we got stuff like Deadman Wonderland, Future Diary, Railgun, etc. only released on DVD at first and had to wait for BD much later. Also depending on the licensor Japanese companies may require that they approve everything. They may request to approve the packaging, artwork, advertising and even dub casting choices and scripts. That can mean a lot of going back and forth communications. Licensing isn't always easy or clear cut. There's more but if you search the Answerman archives it will give you a clearer picture on licensing. Again, not saying that NA haven't made mistakes (if we are talking Evangelion I'm quite willing to blame Funi), but sometimes its not their fault that something doesn't come out when you want it to. |

I hope we get a nice BD release for Code Geass, I'd happily re-buy it for a quality upgrade.

Oh, now that'd be a nice collection (...having not seen Akito yet, though for completeness it'd still be nice). |

If they had known Akito's release.....schedule, it might've hit them as not the best idea. But, one can only hope. |

I have my doubts about that. I think the last part of Akito is scheduled for this April in Japan if there are no delays. I could see Funimation possibly releasing it in parts like they did with GITS:Arise. I think its more money for them to split things up, but who knows what they'll do. I believe that Japan did a reprint of the Limited Edition BD boxed releases of Code Geass and those were released in 5/27/15 and 9/25/15. The BDs have probably been decent sellers for them, so its possible that some of the holdup might have been due to keeping clear of the Japanese re-releases. Maybe, that's just a guess on my part. Hopefully Funimation will go all out and release something similar to the FMA CE which wasn't too bad and hopefully we will get some news soon. |

As long as everything is included. Audio and picture dramas included.
Actually, that was what really pissed me off about Bandai's R2 releases. They completely ignored those in favor of the crappy mangas. |
