I'm glad I never got round to picking up the DVDs. Does the SD-on-BD bundle Monster Rancher and Monster Farm or is it just Monster Rancher?

Hopefully @anime_andrew or @Hanners can confirm details of the UK release soon or I'll be mighty tempted by this.
 
Well yes as DVDs are cheaper to print thats why this revolution is only happening now. As BDs still cost more than DVDs thats why its only worth it for long shows thats what I gather anyway

It's a balancing act - ours will be out about the same time, a collector's and we'll make the dubbed version available as part of the package for buyers who want it (there'll be a bit of an added cost but not much of one).

You'll hear more soon on it actually - but you'll have find our version is in line with what you'd expect for an AL LE.

I'll hold off on preordering the US release and wait for your release then, I love the work Discotek do, but I'd much rather support UK Lupin.
 
Recap of all of the new Funimation announcements between the recent panels:
  • Ai Tenchi Muyo! - July 10th with English dub & Blu-ray/DVD combo
  • Assassination Classroom: 365 Days' Time - July 3rd
  • Assassination Classroom (live-action) Parts 1 & 2 - August 7th
  • Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion Movie Trilogy
  • Garo: Divine Flame - 2018
  • Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Season 2 - Summer 2018
  • Twin Star Exorcist - July 24th with English dub
 
It'd be cool if they rereleased all the tenchi stuff in new sets a la .Hack style. Right now it's a complete mismash of releases and all abit messy.
