Did the original listing have this at the bottom too? I dont think it did.

It wasn't mention on either site.

Also find it interesting that the Funimation shop listing cover has been changed to not include digital copy on the banner.

[Vash1306]

Spine of cover is different on Funimation shop.

[Buckeye]

Seeing that this is the first title Funimation is releasing for Aniplex that it makes sense to see those changes.

re: standard edition

-Foil slipcover
-3 discs
-no special features besides english credits screen on disc 1
-full audio options like with standard aniplex sets these days

That last one I was really worried about since aniplex had funimation lock their releases before the license takeovers, so thats really cool

[Art-chan]

Yeah, I'm glad I went with the LE version. I like extras, so I don't mind paying more. But the regular edition is a nice option for those that don't need all the bells and whistles and still want to own a copy of the show.
