As is the norm when you get a Sentai Filmworks panel at a big convention, they lay out the upcoming releases that are known and then step into the next month off where nothing has been announced yet and give you a lot of ideas of what’s hitting. The same happened at Otakon and it looks like we’re in for some changes as the company has several DVD and BD releases that will be subtitled only, which means more people are buying Blu-ray’s in general and that this may be a test to see how well they can break even on doing subtitled only Blu-ray releases.
