Sentai Filmworks brought out the 2014 anime series Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei on DVD and Blu-ray back in 2016 and hit it up in bilingual form for fans. The show has been out for a bit and is still available on home video as well as streaming through HIDIVE. But Sentai never brought the trailer to their main channel and have recently corrected that, making it a good time to go back and look at the show again.
Check out our DVD and Blu-ray reviews of it!
