Accounting for inflation it's about twice the investment that Crunchyroll started hosting legal content with.

Interesting to know - I assumed it'd be much more. But I suppose CR have had time to build to their position as market leader however, whereas this new service will in many ways be entering the market late, and will have a job on their hands to convince people to use them - just look at the struggles Animax etc have had.

For stuff that is elsewhere available on Blu-ray or produced in HD you are right, a DVD release doesn't suffice. Even for Shakugan no Shana I don't want the DVDs.
The Blu-ray / HD version of Skaugan No Shana was terrible; especially for Season 1. Season 2 wasn't as bad but the DVD's (overall) still seemed better.

As far as I'm aware Yu-Gi-Oh! has never been released on Blu-ray (other than the Bonds Beyond Time 3D Movie) BUT HD masters do exist for Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie, as it was once aired on ITV in HD several years ago, and I assume HD masters for Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal are available in Japan.
In regards to 'subtitle and dubbed' versions I assume they will be releasing the edited 4kids US English Dub as well as the Japanese version with English Subtitles; but obviously that's just a guess....
2013's Mirai Project short Death Billiards to get a full series next year. Hype = got.

Hiromu Arakawa's The Heroic Legend of Arslan will receive an anime adaptation
Interesting, although from what I've seen of that version, I don't think the artwork holds a candle to the '90s oavs.
Siren Visual have announced they'll be releasing Memories on Blu-ray.
On an interesting note, Angel's Egg is a tough license according to SV:

I noticed something particularly interesting earlier today, I was watching HappyConsoleGamer's recent video (which was an hour and a half long panel video) and about 18 minutes in, his friend Rob said he took part in an English dub for Kingdom. For those who don't know, Kingdom was licensed by Funimation but was never brought out on home video. Not to mention the second season was never picked up for simulcast. I wonder what's going on now that this info has appeared.

Their release of Monster [which was completed earlier this year] will also get an artbox (to fit all 5 volumes) plus a booklet:

Aw, I'd love Angel's Egg. Shame it's in licensing hell.
Up for Memories, it's a very Anime Limited title isn't it ....

Sony hold/held the license for that in the UK. It's probably in the same predicament as the Cowboy Bebop movie.
Drat!

Sony has these lot on DVD but not Blu-ray, I wonder if Andrew will be able to get the Blu-ray rights if possible:
- Cowboy Bebop: The Movie
- Memories
- Metropolis
- Steamboy
- Tokyo Godfathers
