Being that gkids just announced the release date for Belle I'd assume it was that as they're most likey shared discs.

I'd be surprised if AL don't do a UHD for Belle, which GKids don't seem to be doing

I was told that work had started on Belle but that's not what it is. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a fancy box version containing both parts of Conan or something tbh.
I feel like the hype surrounding Food Wars pretty much died when the anime and manga ended with its direction. Also I would assume Crunchyroll UK will probably want to release the later seasons than AL tbh.

If I recall correctly the original series and DYRL are still overseen by Harmony Gold while Big West has control over the rest of the franchise. That said, considering Harmony Gold released Robotech through Funimation I wouldn't be surprised if future Macross releases go through Crunchyroll.

I believe Harmony Gold only has the original series. If I'm correct, neither Harmony Gold nor Big West has overseas rights for Do You Remember Love, and if I'm also correct, Toho has the overseas rights for that (interestingly, Big West has the overseas rights for Flash Back 2012, which features footage from DYRL, songs from both the original series and DYRL, and unseen footage).

Huh never heard about Toho's involvement. What a lovely mess

How quickly do these new vinyl tend to sell out? I’m tempted by the Elfen Lied but won’t be around for when it goes live

All this makes me wonder how a relatively small operation like Kiseki managed to release DYRL back in the 90s (I still have that VHS).
Magical Senshi
Vampire Ninja
Yep. I quickly looked it up further, and Toho is the distributor for DYRL, so I'm hoping either Harmony Gold or Big West (my preference) gets those rights cleared one day (it's probably a long shot at this rate).

I'm rly excited about Future Boy Conan am gonna get both parts, unless the mystery announcement is something I want that's it for me from AL this month (I am a little tempted by the Miyazaki documentary but skeptical that I would ever get around to watching it)

Well, judging by the comments I've seen over the years, it seems to be a lot more complicated than that.

if you want to watch the Miyazaki doc it is streaming on NHK, the Blu might be nice for preservation purposesI'm rly excited about Future Boy Conan am gonna get both parts, unless the mystery announcement is something I want that's it for me from AL this month (I am a little tempted by the Miyazaki documentary but skeptical that I would ever get around to watching it)
