Still don't understand why there was never any US BD.

I'm guessing the streaming numbers weren't that great so they didn't feel the extra cost was worth it. I would've loved a Blu-Ray.

Definitely would have grabbed this if AoA had given it a BD releaase (same with some of their other titles).

I liked this series enough that I bought the Aniplex DVDs, even though I avoid buying DVDs unless absolutely necessary - and this one was necessary. The 1080p fansub for this series does look better than the DVDs though, even with all the compression.
