A release of 0080 would be fantastic to see, since its my fave UC show and one of the best starting places for any newcomer. Many of the Gundam offerings on streaming services are either not ideal (movie trilogy) or have a big barrier of entry (CCA and Hathaway). 0080 is just a one and done OVA...
It's a shame AL didn't at least try to get the Sentai masters.
When Discotek got Mystery of Mamo, instead of getting the DNR laden 4K BD masters, Discotek fought to get the old BD masters from 2008 which do keep film grain.
The old release itself is a technical issue. The transfer looked like an upscaled DVD DivX file from the early 2000s, compression galore, whereas the new release is a proper HD remaster. The lack of replacement is not exactly surprising, but besides the new transfer, the new release is...
Yeah that's very cheeky tbh. That old CE has a bad transfer but good physical extras, meanwhile, this CE has the better transfer but worse physical extras, but hey, at least we finally have the postcards promised the first time around. shrugs
I do hope they can put out the book on vinyl or...

If they license the 1979 film, maybe you can try that instead as a taster. I don't really care about sports but I found the film quite entertaining, Osamu Dezaki's directing is so good; it's fun how they depict tennis matches like it's the Vietnam war. Dezaki stuff is turbo charged and all the...
On that note, I'm still waiting for a replacement cover for Revolutionary Girl Utena Part 2 to be sent. Been two years and nothing. It arrived damaged so it'd be nice to get a replacement.

These are my two guesses.
UPDATE:
Mystery Film Seems like this is Garden of Remembrance by Naoko Yamada
Mystery Film 2 Seems this is Her Blue Sky by Tatsuyuki Nagai
Hopefully AL would be able to do an in-house produced edition of Nadia with the omake OVAs included. The Japanese BD even has the omake shorts, so I'm not sure why Gkids skipped out on them.
