Sentai Filmworks Re-Releasing Sakura Wars TV

Earlier this year, Sentai Filmworks announced their new Sentai Selects series. The purpose of the series is to offer a wide range of anime that have withstood the test of time to remain popular and memorable works of their genre, at a cheaper MSRP price. More recently, Sentai Filmworks announced that they will be releasing Sakura Wars TV: Complete Collection as part of the Sentai Selects series on DVD.

Rightstuf lists the DVD set for an April 5th, 2016 release. The set will normally sell for $29.98, but Rightstuf is currently selling it for $19.49. It comes with a new cover and possibly a new keep case (originally, the case was thicker and the discs were stacked). Other than that there are no new special features and the series will still be on 4 discs. The boxart shown in the featured image is not final.

For those in the EU, the DVD set is also available via Archonia (keep in mind this is still a US import version). Below you can find an excerpt from the official press release with more details about the release.

The original Sentai Filmworks edition of the anime is out of print according to Rightstuf, so it’s a good sign that Sentai is putting the Sakura Wars license to good use. Perhaps one day we may even see the earlier OVA re-released.
