Hoping May brings Freedom preorder and Hathaway news.

Pretty sure the last Newswire had all the EBs for May so Freedom will be June at the earliest.

@Hanners Will you be a doing a 4K release of Princess Mononoke after the GKids release this summer?
Or rather, any news of any Ghibli 4K licenses? I remember Studio Canal had the blu rays years ago.

I know they've licensed Grave of the Fireflies, not sure if for 4K or not though.

Well, it is Newswire time in (checks watch) 50 minutes...

 

[Hanners]

Aaaand here it is!

NEWSWIRE: May/June 2026 Pre-Orders – All the Anime

 

[BrokenPhoenix]

Hanners coming in here for his regular Bleach and Naruto tax collections

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Just Bleach, Bastard and Dangers in My Heart Season 2 for me.

 

[bakura]

Freedom and bleach for me, also, are you happy now @HellCat ?

 

[lonelywolf23786]

GS Freedom and Danger in my Heart season 2 for me

 

[Lucky_Deity]

The Dangers in My Heart (S2) (CE) and Bleach: TYBW Part 3 (HMV ver.) for me!

 

[HWR]

Ooo More Bleach TYBW and Gundam, always nice to see.

 

[NormanicGrav]

I've been thinking about how to proceed with AL CEs given the varied quality in the past few years, so from this recent slate I'll get the CEs for Bleach TYBW Part 3, The Dangers in My Heart Season 2 and Gundam SEED FREEDOM, but the standard edition Blu-rays for Colorful Stage, Undead Unluck and Bastard Season 1. The latter ones mainly due to different factors.

 

[Takei Daloui]

Some good ones for me there. Especially Bleach. Been waiting on that!

 

[sirijo]

Excited to grab more ‘Dangers. Guess we’ll be waiting a little more into the summer for that ‘blue sky’ I’ve been dreaming of.

(And Gurren Lagaan The Movie and news on The Concierge)

 

[JTO]

Another month with nothing for me, so I'll keep saving in the hope that there will be something I want next month. There are releases I'm waiting for, and new licences I'm hoping for.

 

[HellCat]

Freedom and bleach for me, also, are you happy now @HellCat ?

Just saw the Newswire this morning; is Bastard the 90s version or the remake?

Given the number of discs and quite digital looking finish on the boxart I'd assume it's the remake rather than the older OVA version, but that is a guess tbf

Oh yeah! My half-awake brain couldn't tell the difference.
Already got TDiMH season 2, but I'm a sucker for a nice poster...
