As we previously reported in an earlier coverage of previous Discotek acquisitions and release dates, Monday was the highly anticipated Twitch stream event Discotek had been planning for weeks. The Florida-based anime licensor didn't disappoint as it announced the acquisition of 15 new titles that will be released on blu-ray during the 2-hr live stream.
Check out the full list of titles below:
- The Rose of Versailles - early 2021
- Hajime no Ippo (2000) - 2021
- The Legend of Black Heaven - late 2020/early 2021
- Gin Rei - late 2020-early 2021
- Battle Athletes Victory TV series & OVA - late 2020
- Lupin III: Tokyo Crisis - 2021
- Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine - 2021
- Genocyber - 2021
- Project A-Ko - 2021
- Ninja Senshi Tobikage (Ninja Robots) - 2021
- Case Closed: The Crimson Love Letter - unknown release date
- Submarine Super 99 - 2021
- Symphogear G (Symphogear season 2) - 2021
- Devilman Lady - early 2021
- KONOSUBA season 2 - 2021
Project A-Ko and The Rose of Versailles headline the list of acquisitons as those two titles have a special place in the hearts of longtime anime fans. While Discotek is mostly known for releasing older titles, the addition of the more recent KONOSUBA season 2 is certainly a welcome addition. With DVD's going the way of CD players and flip phones, anime collectors are anxious to get their hands on blu-ray versions of many of the titles listed above, despite the fact that many already own said titles on VHS or DVD.
