Maybe on Outlaw Star.
Outlaw Star for me and I’m done with Funi’s Bandai Rescues
So the Collector’s Edition is just a Special Box, so they can add $25, yeah sorry, just no.
Edit: at least the Akira Special Edition is a Steelbook
Edit 2: Holy Crap, I wish they’d put out Their shows as fast as they put out both parts of The Seven Deadly Sins
KanColle and maybe Origin, I got the earlier Origin from the MovieStop during their liquidation sale.
We had bought basically everything Bandai right before they closed shop, so I’ve not been tempted much by any of Funimation’s rescue releases.

By the Way, This should mean the next title in the CR Funimation deal should be The Testament of Sister New Devil (Came out in the same season as KanColle)
Outlaw Star for me, definitely. I want as much of the cel-animation on bluray as I can get, but I’m not going to preorder after Funi burned me with Serial Experiments Lain 's low video quality and self-destructing box + book 
I’m with you in spirit on that, but that box art on the non-CE release is a little off IMO. $25 premium to get art that looks like the Bandai DVD set? I shouldn’t even have to consider that.
I don’t know about Origin. I have it on DVD but I’ve yet to see it.
KanColle could be a “maybe”. I might just live vicariously through my pals who are going to buy it, my fandom for the show wasn’t exactly overpowering.
