STORE NEWS and TAB CLEARING
In a very disappointing move, Funimation confirmed for us this week that their release of Azur Lane , which they rated 14+ rather than TV-MA, will be censored. I'm not sure what the point of an edited physical release of an Anime is, but if they think it will help the title get more market penetration by allowing it to be consumed by a younger audience, maybe they should rethink the business they are in.
Thanks to Jentry for the heads up on that!
In better news, Critical Mass announced that they have acquired the release rights for Interspecies Reviewers and will be releasing it on BLURAY in 2021, since Funimation clearly wasn't comfortable releasing that series. Interspecies Reviewers is a fetish title and fans debate whether or not it should be classified as a 'Hentai' , but it's definitely 18+ and was way too hot for Funimation to handle.
Kudo's to the folks in Iowa for picking it up.

UPCOMING RELEASES

Additionally, Discotek's release of s-CRY-ed is now slated for spring 2021, while its releases of the Urusei Yatsura anime films will start in summer 2021.
The company has also located "acceptable masters" for the third season of the Medabots anime, with the season's first-ever physical media release "coming soon." The company previously released the first two seasons. Discotek is continuing its search for the English dub masters for the Mon Colle Knights anime.
The English dubbing for Discotek's release of the Memories movie is ongoing. NYAV Post is dubbing the Magnetic Rose segment, and Sound Cadence Studios is dubbing Stink Bomb and Cannon Fodder.

The Legend of Black Heaven release will be the anime's first release on Blu-ray Disc ever in the world, and will be a new upscale that includes the original Pioneer LDC dub. The release is slated for late 2020 to early 2021. The SD Blu-ray Disc release of the Battle Athletes OVA and Battle Athletes Victory television anime will feature newly restored versions of both anime and the Pioneer LDC dub in late 2020. The release will also include the song battle extras.
The Lupin III: Tokyo Crisis release will include the Funimation dub and ship in 2021. The Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine release will include the Funimation dub from the 2013 Blu-ray Disc/DVD release. Discotek Media did not announce a release date for the anime. Funimation's license of the series expired in August 2018.
Genocyber's SD Blu-ray Disc release will contain video remastered from the original Japanese materials. It will include the Manga Entertainment/Central Park Media English dub. Discotek Media did not announce a release date for the OVA. The remastered Project A-Ko Blu-ray Disc release will use a Domesday Duplicator to recover video content from the LaserDisc release. They did not announce a release date for the anime. The Ninja Senshi Tobikage (Ninja Robot) release will include the English dub by Alexander Entertainment Group that aired in Cartoon Network in India and Asia for the first 20 episodes. Discotek Media is currently seeking assistance in tracking down the rest of the dub.
Discotek Media's release of Case Closed: The Crimson Love Letter, the 21st film in the franchise from 2017, will have a new English dub featuring cast from recent releases of anime in the franchise. The company did not announce a release date for the anime. Discotek Media's Submarine Super 99 release will be the first English-translated release for the anime based on Leiji Matsumoto's manga and ship in 2021. The release will feature newly upscaled video. Symphogear G is the second season in the Symphogear franchise. Discotek Media did not announce a release date for the anime. The company previously licensed the first season and will release it on Blu-ray Disc on October 27.
Discotek Media's HD remaster of Devilman Lady will include the English dub from ADV Films' initial 2003-2004 DVD release (titled Devil Lady) and ship in early 2021. Their release of KONOSUBA - God's blessing on this wonderful world! 2 will include the series' second OVA, and the English dub from CR when it ships in 2021. Discotek released the first season and OVA on Blu-ray Disc on May 26.
Considering we currently have like 45 existing BD titles from Discotek that are on perpetual backorder that they can't seem to keep in print, I hope they are not biting off more than they can chew here.
IN THE NEWS
Entertainment news website Deadline - in an article published on May 21 regarding producer and scriptwriter Marc Guggenheim working on a Spider-Man-related Jackpot film - stated in the article that Guggenheim is "already in business with Sony Pictures adapting the graphic novel Gantz."
