They'll most likely release it DVD only because NIS America have the license and will most likely release it subtitle only on Blu-ray like their other titles. Although they do apparently have 1 English dub title in the works so who knows.

1 SECOND LATER.

WHAT A COINCIDENCE...

A Lull in the Sea Blu-ray Complete Series (Hyb) Premium Edition - due out 06/30/15
Contains episodes 1-26 plus 2 original CD soundtracks and a 76-page full color hardcover art book with character info, an episode guide, text commentary, prop designs, and full background art and art settings.

For those who are curious about the pricing, it's SRP $179.99 (~£119.48). Rightstuf lowered it to $134.99 (~£89.61) so expect UP1 to be around the same.

We might be getting some good news from MVM if all indications are correct, so let's hope they reveal whether it's coming to the UK soon!

NIS sets nowadays won't work on PS3's anymore.

However Nagi no Asukara is Region A and B due to Siren and MVM's involvement.
 
As a sucker for NIS packaging i'll simply will not to be able to resist their release. Yes even with the wider packaging now, ah shelf in abundance here :)

A Lull in the Sea seems to be even a wider package than for example Eccentric Family.

Only issue i have is subs on NISA releases, at times they disappear too fast on my Oppo player, something which has been reported to Oppo Digital and was confirmed by them. Hoping for a quick firmware release so i can fully enjoy the NISA releases.
 
Siren Visual Planning ‘Monster’ Anime Complete Box Set
Siren Visual continues to be one of the few places where fans can pick up the anime series Monster, though it’s limited by region and format. The company has talked about doing a complete box set for awhile and now it looks like it’s getting closer to reality as they’ve abandoned one of the things that was holding it up. The intent was creating a new booklet with it but there’s been delays and issues in getting clearances from Japan on it, so they’re taking that out of the equation and setting things into motion to be able to provide the complete set – though it’ll only be available via their site.

United Publications have now listed A Lull in the Sea Premium Edition.

US: £111.14 (exc. P&P)
UK: £120.00 (exc. P&P)

I will probably pre-order on the UK version (of the site NOT the UK set) given the US price is only 5% off and will have higher postage to pay.

Same goes for Knights of Sidonia Collector's Edition.

US: £53.94 (exc. P&P)
UK: £57.62 (exc. P&P)

You probably already know this, but that's not the UK MVM version, that's the US NISA version sold through the UP1 UK store instead of the UP1US store.

I should have made it more clearer, I was referring to the UK version of the site not the UK set. :lol:

Funimation will once again add another show to the Premium Edition - Soul Eater.

Soul Eater NOT! (the spin-off set before the main series) will be released on Blu-ray/DVD combo pack June 30th.

In 2010, we began releasing Soul Eater. It turns out that more than a few of you enjoyed the Cool-with-a-capital-C class of the Death Weapon Meister Academy.

Recently, our team realized that in spite of how popular Soul Eater is and has always been, the show has never received any kind of specialty packaging. As you are probably guessing at this very moment…we’ve decided to change that.

On June 30, 2015, the same day that prequel series Soul Eater Not! goes on sale, we will release Soul Eater in a Blu-ray Premium Edition, exclusively for the series’ superfans. This special release consists of:
- Soul Eater The Complete Series on Blu-ray (51 episode + 80 minutes of on-disc extras).
- A hard-bound Soul Eater “yearbook” featuring 64 pages of glossy, full-color art.
- And yes, there are pages where you can have friends, or perhaps you favorite Soul Eater voice actors, sign.

This release is not a retailer exclusive, but we are printing a very limited quantity, so we strongly recommend that you preorder it now!

And in addition here's the June line-up for Funimation:

June 2nd:
Fairy Tail - Collection 4 [Blu-ray/DVD] - Region: A|B|1|2|4
Nobunagun - Complete Series: Standard/Limited Edition [Blu-ray/DVD] - Region: TBC
Wanna Be the Strongest in the World - Complete Series: Standard/Limited Edition [Blu-ray/DVD] - Region: TBC

June 9th:
CLAMP Double Feature: Tsubasa and xxxHOLiC Movies S.A.V.E. - Films: S.A.V.E. [DVD] - Region: 1
OniAi - Complete Series: S.A.V.E. [Blu-ray] - Region: A|B
The Sacred Blacksmith - Complete Series: S.A.V.E. [DVD] - Region: 1|2|4

June 16th:
Is This A Zombie? of the Dead - Complete Series: Anime Classics [Blu-ray/DVD] - Region: A|1
Tokyo Ravens - Part 2 [Blu-ray/DVD] - Region: A|1|4

June 23rd:
BlazBlue: Alter Memory - Complete Series [Blu-ray/DVD] - Region: TBC
Origin: Spirits of the Past - Film: S.A.V.E. [Blu-ray] - Region: A
Origin: Spirits of the Past - Film: S.A.V.E. [DVD] - Region: 1
Ping Pong: The Animation - Complete Series [Blu-ray/DVD] - Region: A|B|1|2|4

June 30th:
.hack//G.U.Trilogy - Film [DVD] - Region: 1
Soul Eater - Complete Series: Premium Edition [Blu-ray] - Region: A
Soul Eater NOT! - Complete Series: Standard/Limited Edition [Blu-ray/DVD] - Region: TBC

My thoughts on this line-up:
- WHERE'S NEP NEP. Funimation stated that HyperDimension Neptunia: The Animation would be released on June 9th though it was apparent that the date would not be final (and subject to change).
- No Limited Edition for Ping Pong makes me sad, but at least it's stated to be UK compatible on both Blu-ray and DVD.
- Premium Edition for Soul Eater will be interesting.
- Loving the cover art for G.U.Trilogy (btw those covers will be up on the Overseas thread soon).
- Quite a lot of re-releases this month with Film S.A.V.E.s appearing for the first time in years. OniAi also returns Blu-ray only apparently (not 100% sure though).
- I'll pickup Wanna Be the Strongest in the World, Ping Pong and Soul Eater Premium with some others as later pickups.
 
I know Manga hinted at bringing Soul Eater over to Blu-Rays a while back but I can't see it happening now.

I'd kill to have someone rescue both Tsubasa and xxxHolic for the UK - they're in serious need.

Godamn FUNimation! Locking Tokyo Ravens Part 2 :evil: I am hoping that is a listing error! And I thought locking Fairy Tail half way was bad.
Click to expand...

If I recall, Part 1 was [A|B|1|4]. They must have made an error during the write up. There's a couple of errors on some pages (most notably CLAMP Double Feature) but we will have to wait and see.

Also, I managed to get the covers up on the Overseas Cover Thread. Looks like I beat Fandom Post to it by a few seconds.
