A posting on the AOD/Mania Region 1 DVD sub-forum mentions solicitations listed among AAA Anime’s pre-orders for some of the series FUNimation announced during their “New Show A Go Go” promotional event in December. According to the listing, Gad Guard, Ikki Tousen, and Last Exile will supposedly all come out in May at an MSRP of $49.98, each currently bearing a placeholder date of May 30th. These are not the first of the bunch to get release dates: April has Vandread on the 7th for $49.98 (as mentioned in their NYCC panel) and The Count of Monte Cristo (aka Gankutsuou) on the 28th for $69.98.
Also among the listings is a never-before-released title – Murder Princess, with a release date of May 12th (its website confirms this) and the same $49.98 MSRP as Gad Guard et al. Fifty bucks seems high for the six-episode OVA Murder Princess but that may shift lower when online retailers update their listings.
Other FUNimation releases that are listed as hitting shelves in May are (all bear May 30th placeholder date): Case Closed: Season 5 ($49.98), Claymore Volume 5 ($24.98), a double feature of Dragon Ball Z movies 12 & 13 – Fusion Reborn and Wrath of Dragon – on standard DVD and Blu-ray ($24.98; $39.99), Dragon Ball Z season 9 box set ($49.98), and Karin: Complete Collection ($69.98). More cover art assets lie after the jump.
UPDATE 2/21: TRSI updated their catalog earlier this week and
pretty much all the above releases were part of it, including a lower price for Murder Princess. So here is their lineup (w/ affliate links):
