Overseas The Discotek Media Thread (plus AnimEigo)

Master of Martial Hearts is the only thing besides Ex-Arm that I've seen receive a sub-5.0 rating on MAL. Weird choice for a label that only releases a handful of titles per year. I wonder if it was foisted on them in a licensing bundle.

The Discotek releases never have Region B support right? Would love that Palabor release over here....

I wish I could recommend tracking down the MVM release or the Sentai Ultimate set but both are long oop and go for obscene prices online.

Alternatively you could get a region free player, cheapest option would probably be a pc blu ray drive and to use Leawo.

I use an Xbox Series X as my player (with a remote control and not the game controller, im not a mad man), which I know should handle regions fine but by keeping my collection Region B I'm less tempted to splurge! I've similarly pined over Den-Noh Coil (which is B compatible) and the Discotek Lovely Complex release.
I nearly bought a £60 of the Sentai OVA release last week but held off. Never seen anyone listing the MVM edition Someone wants £100 on eBay and CeX have never even seen one so I imagine it was a small print run.

@Hanners I know you cannot comment (or commit) but... you know...if 'someone' who had dealt with this franchise recently wanted to keep going....

The problem with PC Blu-ray drives is, they are almost extinct now, so are also going for crazy scalper prices. I bought an LG external slim Blu-ray drive and two Asus 5.25 internal Blu-ray drives 3-4 months ago for a little over $100 each, and neither of those brands exist online anymore. Pioneers are gone too. Any stragglers found from major brands are going for 2-3 times their original prices now.

I want to buy a couple spare Blu-ray players too very soon, as they are starting to decline quickly, too.

Still external ASUS writers available on Amazon UK for just over £100 atm, the cheap Chinese random stuff is about £50.
