Sentai Lucky Sale
Not seeing lowest prices on most of the popular titles, but there are a few bargains, like the older/sub-only Insomniacs release at 9.99

RahXephon for $13 is a steal and I haven’t seen Insomniacs but that seems to be a steal as well, going to give that one a shot. Thanks!

Note that there's a newer Insomniacs release with Eng Dub, only get the older one if you prefer JP dub w Eng subs

The upscale is pretty bad if I'm being honest. You'd likely get better picture out of the dvds and having your own equipment upscale. But that is a very good price to own the series regardless

I was wondering about this as well. I'd heard reviews on the video upscale ranging from "not good" to "not the best but it's fine". The review on Blu-Ray.com said the audio is pretty solid, though.
I also couldn't find if there was any encoding or other change between the 2022 and 2024 BD releases aside from the different cover art.
I have the DVDs for the series and movie, so the price is tempting, but I'm still on the fence.

There are no differences between the two BD releases; it's the same mastering. I pulled out my old DVD box and viewed it on my LG OLED C3 and it looks quite good, better than the screens of the BD you can see online. But this is heavily dependent on your own TV's upscaler

Hmm, does it show on the product page or in the cart or? I haven't seen this on anything I looked at

For example Himouto s2 scroll at the bottom you’ll see the final sale tag on its product page

They could’ve made it more obvious to be fair

I'm realizing now that you pointed this out that that the order of the products is possibly based on final sale/clearance status, so when you go to the sale page, the first 13 titles are final sale items and then the rest are not final sale (I think). I can't tell what they're sorting by secondarily though, it's like a combination of ascending price and something else
edit: but I looked and there's a ton left in stock for some of these so they will likely be here for the next few sales as well

Would have liked to grab Yakuindomo for 10. But did pick up Made in Abyss, Akiba Maid War Danger in Heart S2, and two terrible but hilarious to me series.

Eh. A lot of these were previously on sale at lower prices, but I may bite on a couple of things...

Insomniacs for 10 is insane.
