[Overseas] Anime News & Announcements

Girls Last Tour (Re-release)


@Suzu just wanted to make sure you saw that Kakegurui is getting a rerelease stateside as I know you were bummed about missing out on owning the whole series before :)
 
I've been waiting for the Dragon Maid film to announced for home video (especially since it never came to any of my local cinemas, though I was planning to buy it on home video anyway). Hopefully it will be released in the UK too (a picture of the back on the CR US store shows Region A & B). Also, it's rare that CR is releasing something I want to buy.
 
With Crunchyroll's diminished release slates I'm amazed at the Dragon Maid movie getting a release--even when Crunchyroll and previously Funimation had large slates, far too often movies connected to TV series never got home video releases, Date A Live Mayuri Judgment being one notable example of one forever skipped over, and as I understand it, it's an important part of the story between two seasons of the series; I can't verify since I've never seen it since it wasn't released.

I'll buy Dragon Maid, UK if it releases here; US otherwise. There's nothing else in that set of releases for me though.

Ok I have to laugh a bit at this one:
This is the third version of Girls Und Panzer: This is the Real Anzio Battle! that Sentai has released. That isn't unusual for them, but they usually get completely different cover art, but that isn't the case here. this one looks almost exactly the same as the first release except it now has a "sand" background instead of plain white. The second version used the same image of the girls but the tank in the background was replaced with a different tank image.

I know there can be limitations on art either by a license or just what's available. When I first saw this announcement I also thought it had been only a very short period since the last version's release, but that was just me not realizing how much time has passed as that came out in 2021. Doesn't seem like it was that long ago when I got it.

Aside from that, Sentai's announcements are unfortunately becoming primarily rereleases with maybe one new thing each month, which is sad. Unlike Crunchyroll who just choose to not release much, I know Sentai is constrained by what they're able to license.

Since I already have the previous GuP disc, nothing for me in this set of announcements.
 
At least Sentai finally decided to release season 5 of Danmachi, I was beginning to wonder if they couldn't license it for some reason. And when I looked on pbay for Girls Und Panzer:This Is The Real Anzio Battle some copies were over $100 but I also found some that were under $30.

I'm happy to see this back in print. I was quite late getting into Girls und Panzer and missed out on it. Used copies go for £100+ on eBay, which is insane for a 25 minute OAV.
Oh that's interesting; I didn't realize it was out of print and considered rare. But as I wrote above I also didn't realize the second release was five years ago.

The first version was dual format so if anyone specifically wants a DVD for some reason that's the only one with that.
