So for me out of this group:
-Kiss x Sis TV
-Space Musketeer Bismarck
-Kite Integral Edition (and like @Psychopuppet , I wonder if CR will carry it since it includes the NC-17 version)

and that was a whole lot of Live Action announcements that I’m not interested in :rofl:

If Sentai can’t get Gravion back, maybe Discotek can…

Unfortunately I think it’s part of the deal Funimation made with Gonzo that is now with Crunchyroll.

I’m not 100% sure if it’s a full rights thing but given how popular Gonzo was with the generation that has money now. I’d think someone would have licensed at least some of those for home video releases again.

I was fortunate enough to get a second hand copy of the 2010 Jp Blu-ray which has the ADV dub and English subs.

Amazon pre-order links, plus pre-orders for Kite, aren’t quite ready yet, we’ll send an update when they are.

Announcements from Otakon!

We announced a ton at Otakon this year. Beyond that, during our ‘not’ livestream at the same time for those who couldn’t make it to Otakon, we announced even more for a total of 25 titles. A number of those were announced for September (plus a few additional updates.)

You can watch the video if you want more details, or look at the thread of posts on Twitter, but here is a quick overview on what we talked about that isn’t available to order yet…

• Giant Gorg- The classic mech adventure from Yoshikazu Yasuhiko has gotten a fantastic remaster.
• Space Musketeer Bismark- The space cowboy adventure, with a giant mech, that was turned into Saber Rider & the Star Sheriffs is finally getting an uncut release, and the video on this one is really special with how nice it is.
• Kamen Rider V3- One of the most beloved toku shows there is will get a Blu-ray release soon, with quite a few extras.
• Chie the Brat: The 2nd Series- Chie returns for 39 more episodes featuring the trials & victories of the unluckiest little girl in Japan.
• Digimon the Movies- It’ll be a bit longer, but we hope approvals will be finished soon.
• Digimon Adventure 02- The 2nd Digimon TV series is getting the same great upscale treatment for its original Japanese version, with brand new subtitles.
• Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS- The 3rd Nanoha TV series has heavily improved subtitles for its home video release in the US!
• Professor Layton & the Eternal Diva- The movie based on the classic game series got a US DVD before, but no Blu-ray. The dub featuring the UK game cast is also here!
• Humanoid Monster Bem- The well remembered vintage series about monsters that protect in the night is getting a US release!
• Groizer X- Go Nagai & Knack Productions team up for an action packed mech series!
• Party 7- The surreal action-comedy from Katsuhito Ishii gets copious extras.
• Dororo- The legendary Tezuka manga got a great live-action adaption, and this is the first Blu-ray in North America for it!
• RoboGeisha- A cult-hit, this license rescue has gotten upgraded subtitles for a better presentation.
• Electric Dragon 80,000V- A wild toku film starring Tadanobu Asano is another release packed with extras.
• Kekko Kamen: The Live Action Trilogy- All 3 '90s direct-to-video films featuring the Go Nagai superheroine who doesn’t need a fancy outfit to fight villains.
• Ouran High School Host Club: The Movie- The stand-alone film features the cast from the live action TV adaption, along with hours of extra features.
• Android Kikaider- One of the toku TV classics has Jiro learn about his humanity as he does battle. Features some solid extras, including a vintage recording of a Hawaiian stage event.
• Special Rescue Police Winspector- The Metal Heroes franchise continues with new style for the beginning of the Rescue Hero trilogy. An underappreciated toku gem.
• MXC: Most Extreme Elimination Challenge- The classic dub of Takeshi’s Castle features Kenny & Vic and a variety of contestants doing their best to not get eliminated!

A bunch of new titles to pre-order that are out next month.

Plus our largest wave of announcements ever from Otakon.

Plenty more to talk about soon.
