[Nico87]

Really can't wait for this. Pre-ordering as soon as it's up on the NIS America store. Wonder what the exclusive bonus item is! A book..?

And pre-ordered. Since the original release was not on Blu-ray in Japan (Blu-ray box came afterward) and it gets the NISA treatment I will get it even if it's DVD only.

Perhaps it was done like this since the JP BD Box was the first two seasons as well.

But for an initial release? Standard-priced two-cour initial releases are almost nonexistent in R1, and this is two seasons that aired apart from each other to boot.

You have a point. Well, I won't complain, but I would still like to find the reason why.

Rethinking about it... Perhaps, we don't see this often because Japan never (or almost never) give them the right to release two seasons on a same set. Though, the fact that there is a Blu-ray release in Japan with both season, maybe they got the right to do it this time. Just guessing here.

Well in the case of FUNimation for example, they almost always release both cours of a series at the same time, even with the sets designed to be packaged together via the LE of the first, but never in the same set until the re-releases. So I don't see why Japanese companies would be unanimously against the idea of just putting two cours together for an initial release.
