I will be getting this second JP SAOP box set, since I picked up the first JP release last year.

My Blu-ray of Nijiyon Animation arrived today and I want to put it out there that this disc does not have English subtitles. For a show of its nature I normally wouldn't expect them, but CDJapan and Amazon list them as included.

Wow that's really messed up. Sucks considering I already bought it, at least it wasn't that expensive at a bit under 4k yen. I'll have to mux in english subs when it arrives.

[DeepSea354]

Wow thats terrible. All the other JPN Love Live blu-rays had English subtitles. Its really weird how this one doesn't. Guess I'll have to wait for the US release... If they ever release it.

Looks like FGO is getting JP English-friendly box sets. I only ever bought First Order so might just pick these up now

I'll be interested to see what the box sets look like. The style that Aniplex released FGO: Babylonia made me not want them, so hopefully these are better looking..
