Hayate and Granbelm are the two titles of interest for me from that list. Appreciate the summary as always @NormanicGrav

No problem. I'll have more stuff on my blog as per usual later tonight (UPDATE: Now live!). Considering how slow Sentai is, I'll probably start posting my industry post round-ups earlier with Funi's first rather than waiting on Sentai at this rate starting next month.

Sentai is really way out there with all their Steelbook prices. I just waited for a sale to pickup their Clannad, Vampire Hunter D, and Grave of the fireflies steelbooks. Clannad went from $98 to $59 on sale, a price more in line for a two season release.
 
I think if anything I'm impressed 😂 I can see someone in a suit saying 'these fanboys pay how much for an Aniplex release?! Bang a 46min "movie" in a steelbook and charge $80, the weirdos will love it' 😎

When you're asking for more than the latest Shinkai in 4K that comes with bells AND whistles you've seriously jumped the shark.
 
I'm a big Aniplex fanboy but I still am not going to pay $80 for a 45 minute movie. I love Garden of Words but not for $1.75 a minute, lol. GoW should go on sale relatively quickly, as it's not going to move at that price.
