Edition Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Blu-ray Part 2 (Hyb) Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood DVD Part 2 (Hyb) Nice to see the 8-week plan for One Piece meaning two sets in two subsequent months.

Other than that, just the second Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Blu-ray. For those of you who don't want to watch the same events unfold as in the first series, this is the place to pick up. The first episode on it is conveniently the first episode to differ significantly from the first series, and by the next episode, it's all new characters and a new story.

Now we just need that RightStuf sale...
 
Wow, Casshern Sins all at once. I'm definitely snapping up the Blu-Ray release to enjoy it in all of its true HD glory. Yup, no upscaling for this one. I've been anticipating this since it premiered in Japan. Madhouse made it look beautiful. Nihon Review was very positive. Easily the top must-buy title for me in August.

After that, FMA Brotherhood on Blu-Ray. I love what I've seen, I'm committed to this series all of the way.

Full Metal Panic Remastered: ......maybe, but probably a ways from now if so. I have earlier releases of this and Second Raid on DVD. It's been written that Second Raid's remastering was a substantial improvement. At the same time, I've seen what I have and it seemed good enough, so I may not be enough of a videophile to really care. Realistically, I'll probably spend my resources on something fresh.

One Piece: Of course. The only question is whether I wait and buy a bunch of the Third Voyage sets all at once.

Big Windup S.A.V.E: Probably. Seemingly badly underrated and obviously cheap, it should be a pretty safe & affordable bet. Especially if I get it on sale.

That's probably all. I'm open to trying Black Blood Brothers and Shattered Angels via streaming, but they are beyond being on the back burner. They aren't even really on the stove. There are many things in my backlog that I'm more interested in right now.
 
I knew I should've written the article earlier. Anyway, TZ write-up.

Maybe I'll finally finish Kodocha now that it's dirt cheap. Well, not FINISH finish, but I mean all that's available in the U.S. And good to see Full Metal Panic! getting to Blu-ray, even though I already own the DVRAB.
Yeah, don't bother. T'ain't very good.
 
I'll definitely pick up Full Metal Panic. I'm still kind of worn out on the One Piece anime at the moment so I may hold off on it.

No DBZ Kai pt. 2 yet? Dang.... hopefully in Septeraber.....
 
Nothing for me. Five (April, May, June, July, August) months in a row Funimation, way to go. Not buying Casshern Sins until a cheaper BD collection comes out. I expect the trend to continue as well. At least I can focus on some catalog titles from other companies, plenty of that to get still. Big Windup has taught me a lesson to never buy the initial releases from Funimation and just wait for a complete collection or cheap re-release. Again, way to go Funimation.
 
Might buy Casshern Sins. Might watch it all on FUNi's player. I don't know. DepenRAB on the wallet for that month.

Still waiting on "Bride is a Mermaid" Part 2 guys. But I'm sure it'll be around in Septeraber or so.
 
If you're referring to Anime Central, FUNimation's industry panel there isn't until Saturday afternoon. This news is normal and unrelated to what may break over there (if anything).
 
[/LIST] All I'm interested in right now. I'll wait for a complete collection for Casshern and I might get FMP if they don't butcher the video quality.
 
Looks like One Piece and FMA for me. One Piece gets priority depending on economics for the month, but I'll be picking up Brotherhood at some point.

I'm still collecting the first FMA >.
 
Casshern Sins is definitely worth the buy.here goes
Post apocalypse type setting, the earth is dying, main character is a super android whose responsible for the world being so crappy, but he has amnesia so he doesn't remeraber how he did it, he can heal and is immortal. Everyone in te world hates him (or obvious reasons). All the robots in the world are slowly rusting away and they are mostly afraid to die, (before the earth got crappy robots didn't die) so they try to eat him (to gain his healing thing). Anyway, Main character is searching for some girl who he supposedly once killed, which triggered the world becoming crappy (an android too if i remeraber right), he walks the earth and helps random people and stuff.

There you go
