[osoroshia.livejournal.com]

Double posting, but, seriously different topics, so I hope it's okay?

Animate has just announced four new items! "Special Price DVD Box" sets of the anime.

All are currently preorders, retailing at 8190 yen (about $110) each.
No box art has been released as of yet, but it looks like there's some mention of the earlier Animate-exclusive art sleeves?

In any case~
They'll be released one month at a time, on the following dates:
Axis Powers 1 (Ep 1-26) - September 26
Axis Powers 2 (Ep 27-52) - October 24
World Series 1 (Ep 1-24) - November 28
World Series 2 (Ep 25-48) - December 26


Currently, bonus content is mentioned on each page.
Bonus items, are, for the moment, non-existant.
It's currently unknown whether vocal CDs, art booklets, or clear cards will be re-released at all.

All four sets can be found in the top row of this page.

I feel this quite the money-grab - considering the Hetalia season DVD's are ~$25 each from Funimation.

Well, it's marketed to Japan, so it's more like four dvds for the price of one plus $25? xD
They're a steal, to anyone there who may've missed a volume along the way.

But yeah. I wouldn't personally buy them. They're just news.
They need to add in bonus items before they'll really be something interesting. Last four Nekotalia plush, pleaaase
