So. Normally, there should be like a complete series, part of a series, a movie and something else per box, right? It's annoying because there's about 50/50 chances that I get a lot of stuff I want but also a lot of stuff I have 0 interest in...
Thinking of the last box, there was a cool mix, but out of your 8 possible picks, only 3 interest me, and they sure as hell won't be in the same box.
Do you know if items in the boxes get individual discounts during the sale or not?
Honestly sounds like a prime example for an Early Bird redux... Which I'm guessing will be integrated into general discounts this year, going by the blog post.

If its similar to last year, all titles included in the mystery box will not be available in the sale.
However, many individuals do tend to sell them for a good price on eBay so keep an eye on that.

About the predictions;
I kind of suspect the 5 Centimeters Per Second steelbook (and the Children Who Chase Lost Voices one) won't be in a sale any time soon, as the are exclusives with Zavvi, and I don't think I've ever seen any kind of discount on them on Zavvi yet, hope I'm wrong about that though, although I'd much prefer them to be on sale outside the mystery boxes
Also would be surprised if Demon Slayer part 1 was in there, can't see them giving up on getting a high price for that one just yet, especially with all the hype around the movie, I think it's more likely to be in the general sale at an okay-ish price, and maybe available with the 2nd part at the early bird price again.
Plastic Memories part 1 seems unlikely too seeing as it's only 7 episodes of a 13 episode series, and as the outer box for the two parts comes with part 1, I'd consider that a rather cheeky inclusion, that said I wouldn't really put it past them.
That would rule out Violet Evergarden, if so...
As no one else has really commented on it, I'm I the only one rather underwhelmed by the Cardcapter Sakura release?
I'm guessing, as it's such a kid-friendly show, but with a rather large 70 episodes, they choose a simpler release over a more expensive one so as to not scare off too many parents with the price or something, but ehh...

I may be misremembering, but I think the early bird redux offers in the past were only for stuff that had an early bird offer before but had not yet released?
That would rule out Violet Evergarden, if so...

Of those, the first is the only one I want. I have the second and have no interest in the third release.
For the second release you're mentioning, I wouldn't be too surprised to find it in one of the boxes. It's hugely popular but last I checked, it was readily available everywhere, so they probably have a considerable number of copies. We'll see!
Didn't know it was the case, I thought it would just be EB prices for recently released products. Yup, that rules it out, then!
I actually did earlier on, but I'm with you. I expected more but I'm happy to be able to get it in English from a 4k scan. It definitely deserved more, it's one my favorite series. And from those 20 pages, we can see Andrew Osmond wrote an article so that's probably like 4/5 pages less for artwork and such.
I wonder if it was too expensive to negotiate materials or they don't predict it selling enough to justify the costs of obtaining more stuff be able to create a better CE, with a big illustration covering a digipak?

Am I correct in thinking that this Cardcaptor Sakura set only includes the tv series and not the two movies?

I believe so

i think it was supposed to be going on some sort of redux in april but it never happened which i think was when i planned on buying it
The CE only covers the 70 episode TV series (from the looks of it it's probably 7 episodes per disc).
Also, Anime Limited currently don't have the rights to the first film (they have the second).
Magical Senshi
Vampire Ninja
Plus, the series and the movies are on different licenses, due to different licensors.
TV Series: NHK
First Movie: Bandai Visual (now Bandai Namco Arts)
Second Movie: Kodansha (same licensor as Clear Card, already released by Funimanga)

The US CE sets are shipping from Rightstuf today as well, although I bought the UK CE instead when it was on sale, and also received mine a couple weeks ago.
