Wait a second, I've not seen anything about a Future Diary on BD yet, so surely that 2 forced DvD titles to go?

Here's a list of forced DVD only titles (thank Kadokawa) that would have gotten Blu-rays in order of release:
17/04/2012 - Heaven's Lost Property: Forte (Blu-ray released: 25/06/2013)
10/07/2012 - Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt (Blu-ray released: 15/01/2013)
10/09/2012 - Deadman Wonderland
11/12/2012 - Is This A Zombie? (Blu-ray released: Q2 2014?)
18/12/2012 - A Certain Magical Index
16/04/2013 - A Certain Scientific Railgun
17/09/2013 - The Future Diary
24/09/2013 - Is This A Zombie? of the Dead
So far about two of them got an upgrade while another has been announced via trailer like Eureka Seven.
Given that it's been a suitable time since the DVD release of Deadman, Funimation should be able to release a Blu-ray but it doesn't look like a BD Box exists in Japan (unless someone corrects me and finds a link)..

What exactly is your definition of "forced DVD"?

I should have made it clearer :x
What I meant by forced was because of Kadokawa and their silly fears of reverse importation.

Nice, very nice. Hoping one day they'll revist Toradora so we can get that on BD with the OAV

Ah no need to worry I will be watching it on my laptop. It is programmed to watch region 1 dvds!
Anime-related, Senran Kagura Burst is finally hitting the UK shores on February 27th (eShop) & 28th (Retail) for Nintendo 3DS. Surprisingly enough, it got a rating of 16.
Another anime-related news, more character rivals join the J-Stars Victory Vs. PS3 game.
A new anime series based on Black Butler is announced (To be confirmed whether or not it will be Season 3, like Strike Witches did), or say 'Green-Lit'.
The Wind Rises, Madoka Magica: Rebellion, Lupin Vs Conan: the Movie, Tale of Princess Kagura & CGI Captain Harlock earn Japan's Academy Prize nods

Good News, The Wind Rises is now in the Oscar Nominations for Best Animated Feature.
Bad News, it's up against these: Despicable Me 2, Ernest & Celestine, Frozen & The Croods.

Funimation's April selection is slowly unveiled, with big re-releases:
Cat Planet Cuties: Complete Series (Blu-ray/DVD) S.A.V.E. Edition
Note that Eureka Seven will be in 1080i and doesn't have a confirmed region code for Blu-rays.
My thoughts:
- Seems to be one big filler month, the only major release is Eureka Seven (Series & Movie) and Space Battleship Yamato movie.
- Strange how Aquarion EVOL: Part 2 hasn't been shown up at all for the past few months...
- Poor poor Shangri-La.
- My picks to get: Eureka Seven LE Part 1 & Part 2, One Piece: Collection 9. I'll get the normal versions for the rest including Shangri-La since the LE is still around.

So it's mainly crap or re-releases for April from Funimation...
Eureka Seven is the only title which I'm buying, but I have to wonder why/how they are shoving it out so damn cheaply.
I suppose the fact that it's a re-release and the Japanese BD is an SD Upscale (and a good one at that) factored in on their decision.

I highly doubt that. I get the feeling that the reason Shangri-La got a SAVE set so quickly may be because it sold poorly. I mean, it bombed completely in Japan, and it's not exactly the most well known or well reviewed series. The Japanese are going to be a lot more protective over an IP like S;G - especially when Kadokawa's involved.NormanicGrav said:

Makes sense but a BD-Box has been around for nearly a year now so there's some chance. I'm only asking because I missed out on the LE Part 1 and it depresses me every time I see people with that artbox.

You're honestly not missing out on anything. The Art is exactly the same as the standard part 1 art, there's no reversible covers or extra artwork inside.NormanicGrav said:
The BD case is a different type than the one used for part two so they don't even match. If it used the cover from the JP BD Box, then I'd understand, but S;G probably has the worst artbox from Funi.
Oh well.
Eureka Seven's LE release is pretty cheap, it's $49.95 (Rightstuf discount: $29.99) and it will probably sell out.

Some news on the latter part of the Kill La Kill season, seems like it is a case of all change shortly. This relates to the technicalities of the show not the story so don't worry about spoilers.
