The upcoming Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari box is the only one I know of offhand.

It's possible they'll do a complete collection of both seasons with subs a la Haruhi but it'll probably be a while. Season two's singles just finished recently.

Given how long it tends to be between singles and boxsets in Japan, we're probably still a year or so too early to see very many of these. It's probably also a lot more profitable to BD-ify older DVD-only titles to get people double-dipping for a significant video upgrade. Plus you can keep a decently high price since it's an upgrade.

So I expect the flood can't be too far away but DVD>BD sets are probably going to be the focus for a ways yet.

That would be good enough for me! I can wait, I prefer this compare to buy the second season from FUNi. I bought the first from FUNi and I regret it.

Or it might never happen, of course - might as well import the first season while you can.

Thanks. Good to know since I usually watch my DVDs upscaled on my PS3.

Why did you regret buying it? Just a bad overall package?

Well, the main reason would be that I don't really like FUNi for different reasons. Also, the video... And yeah, packaging is important for me, so...

Two posts before your's Asf was offering to make BD screenshots. Since they don't appear to be following the thread any more you could try messaging them.

Oh shoot, that reminds me that he was replying to one of my posts, asking for where I got my bad examples from. Must remember to look, must remember to look...

I don't have the BDs, but I have the R2s so was also wondering whereabouts those caps came from for comparison.

Sorry for the Bump before Kurogane, I'm glad to see the topic got some more discussion out of it though.

Also I have tried messaging Asf to no avail Shiroi, not that it matters, I'm going to buy it now anyway, I want the art book that comes with it, if nothing else.

Only a month to go
