Note that the Essentials line is being released as BD / Digital only
They’re also much cheaper than the Classics line. Essentials are the new S.A.V.E collections I guess.
Buys:
- Re:Zero
- Sage of Tanya the Evil
Where the less popular home-media titles in Funimation’s catalog go to die.
It used to be called “Super Amazing Value Edition (S.A.V.E)”, but people caught on, so it would appear that Funi has rebranded it with an ironic name.
Looks like they're stealing ADV's old naming scheme too

Looking at the list, Shimoneta is in “Essentials” purgatory? Normally I find that when I don’t like a show, I’m in the minority. 
…Did “obnoxious Taser Loli” curb the enthusiasm for everyone else too?

Thanks for the info. I was wondering what happened to the S.A.V.E. releases. 
Not all of them are bad though, in fact there’s a few in my collection. Pani Poni Dash, Girls Bravo, and Strike Witches are the first to come to mind.
Yeah, 2 of those were rescues, but still…
Edit
Shiki supposedly has a SAVE release as well.
I should try to pick that up before the 30th…
Was surfing RightStuf and noticed this:
DxD Born “Classics edition” release date 9/25/18
Figured I’d put it here for you.
MHA S3 most likely, why would anyone watch Masters of Business Administration S3 lol
Funimation Reveals Home Video Release Details for Witch Hunter Robin, Mamoru Hosoda films

Home video release slated for October
Just the other day I took a glance at my Witch Hunter Robin DVD set (came with a CD and shotglass: real bonus features 
) and was wondering whatever happened to the rerelease.
I remember the show only being “meh, 'sarrite”, but it is iconic. More importantly, a progressive bluray could look good (probably no HD tho) and would take up a lot less space than this big ole DVD set.
Was this show sponsored by SEGA as well?
