Funimation is getting ready for the release of another series with Crunchyroll with the Testament of Sister New Devil BURST second season anime property coming up on October 30th, 2018. The show has now found another release announcement with Australian distributor Madman Entertainment scheduling it for a January 16th, 2018 debut. This one is a bit awkward as it’s getting a standalone DVD-only release priced at $59.95 but there will also be a season one/two combination release on the same day with the Blu-ray edition. This will be priced at $79.95 so it’s a very cheap way to finally get the first season on Blu-ray but it’s just an awkward combination. On-disc extras include the Maria’s Secret Video, Maria’s Secret Video BURST, and the Textless Opening and Closing Songs.
