While it had an interesting design, it's not something I would go and buy.

UPDATE: Noein has been delayed to January 12th 2016.

I reckon the Rc Cell was too high meaning it would no longer be able to be played in a blu-ray player.

Things I'm hoping for:

Eva 3.33 announcement from Funi

More Gundam manga announcement from Vertical now the Origin is nearly finished

A cheaper complete edition of Yuki Yuna Is A Hero from Pony Can

I remember them doing a survey ages ago asking what Gundam to consider to license after The Origin. I choose Char's Deleted Affair as I really would love to own that one.
 
I don't mind, as long as the next Gundam release is a hardcover. :oops:

As for Sound Euphonium. I'm really interested to see what kind of packaging it gets. Can't say I'm a big fan of the oversized amaray that PONYCAN use. :(
 
Did people particularly like that show? I feel like some of Sentai's recent licenses have been kind of random - either they were cheap to acquire or they're somehow more popular than I thought.

Some pretty poor titles in there for the most part, imo. Hanayamata is fantastic though - would definitely recommend that one.

I guess so, but I don't mind picking up Corpse Party given that certain scenes will most likely prevent this ever getting an uncut release over here, for those wondering I'm referring to the graphic murders that caused the whole curse in the first place.

I kinda thought Dai Shogun sucked but I think I'll get it anyway. The whimsical buying choices I make due to my bias towards historical stuff (even if it isn't very historical).

I'll almost certainly get Hanayamata, most likely get Locodol and might get Tamako Market.

It's interesting that they're dubbing Hanayamata, that's pretty rare for a slice of life/cute girls doing cute things type show.

I'd probably rate Locodol somewhere around where I rate A-channel, which makes it worth buying for me. It's not a top show but I found it fairly satisfying.

I've heard mixed things about Tamako Market, I suspect I might like it well enough so I might give it a go at some point.
