sola is Double Licensed?

Following Sentai Filmworks’ recent announcement of plans to release a (subtitled – as far as we know) double disc complete collection of the sola anime TV series this August, Bandai Entertainment has confirmed that its domestic distribution license for the same sola television series is still active, and Bandai has no plans to discontinue sale of its subtitled double disc edition. Bandai Entertainment spokesman Robert Napton has explained that Bandai is “not involved with anything [Sentai Filmworks] are doing.”

As far as I know, two unaffiliated domestic licensors simultaneously distributing the same series – and at different SRPs – is unprecedented. It’s also bizarre that such an obscure and unpopular title would get simultaneously distributed by two different distributors.
