And to further surprise people, Samurai Warriors will be getting an English dub, also due for June 27th. Still DVD only by the looks of it.

The entire list for Funimation's June 2017 line-up is up on my blog. I was busy at Uni when this came up so I just put it on my blog to save myself the time.

Various notes:
- Akira gets a Steelbook release. Same content as the previous.
- From the Sunrise package deal; Code Geass: Akito the Exiled (all 5 OVAs together), and Outlaw Star.
- Outlaw Star gets a CE; 100 page booklet also included.
- Origin: Spirits of the Past gets a combo pack re-release despite already being placed in the S.A.V.E. line.
- No LE for Assassination Classroom Season 2 nor The Seven Deadly Sins.
- Dragon Ball Kai concludes, One Piece Season 9 begins and Fairy Tail collections start the 2014 series.
- Ping Pong is coming to S.A.V.E.
- Samurai Warriors has returned with a dub, still DVD only.
- KanColle is the next Crunchyroll title to be released.


Meanwhile over on Sentai's end, both GATE and Monster Musume are part of the July line-up.
