Contains episodes 1-3 of OVA series one and episodes 1-6 of OVA series two.

So no Eikoden OVA with this release.

Amazon.com now has a release date of 3/12/13 for Ai no Kusabi: The Space Between.

Delays and more delays. This is the new norm for MB as it has been. But at least they are for titles I either already have or do not have the interest in getting.
