Random items still claim they're preorders. Gundam Build Fighters Part 2 says "THIS IS A PRE-ORDER ITEM, WITH A RELEASE DATE OF 18TH DECEMBER". Is it actually out yet or not? Who knows?! (Probably the people who've got it/not got it)

General retail: January 8
Amazon & others claim "in stock"
 
Can confirm Flowers of Evil uses the 2021 Sentai Filmworks discs. Had a quick look on each episode and there's subs at least (which it needs to otherwise its unwatchable, the subs are locked as to be expected).

I am curious to see if Kids on the Slope uses the 2021 discs or the old MVM discs. Can anyone confirm? You'll be able to check if there's disc credits on Disc 2 of the set.

The old MVM discs had unlocked subtitles in that big font that Sentai initially used on BD, they also had subtitles for episode four, and the first run release that Sentai and Hanabee put out had a single channel of audio on episode 11's Japanese track. MVM got the corrected disc before they released it. Might be worth checking episode 11 for mono audio...

And a couple of glitched frames in episode 9. For one frame 2:23 into the episode there is bit of minor pixellation that distorts Kaoru’s face. Then for another frame at the end, 21:01 as the screen pans up over a night sky, the whole screen pixellates.

They appear to be the 2021 Sentai discs

I managed to dodge the bullet on that one regarding the subtitles. To those who own the US 2021 re-issue, does that issue affect the US release too, or does it only affect the UK release (similar to AL's Nadia release, which has the missing episode problem that the US Sentai release didn't have)?

The US release does not have any issues with episode 4. I skipped around the entire episode, subtitles were there for all of the dialogue.

I'm no expert in disc authoring, but if the US disc for KOTS has no subtitle issue on episode 4, how is it possible that these repackaged UK discs have an issue with them?

If they're region-locked (most likely the case), then a different release was put together (presumably from the same source material). The UK party probably forgot to include subtitles then for episode 4 on the UK version.

Anime Limited have modified the discs so that the introductions (US copyright / Sentai logo / HIDIVE trailer) are replaced by Anime Limited's logos before it goes into Sentai's menus. Chances are when they were sorting that out they touched stuff that shouldn't be messed with (like how Nadia's Blu-rays turned out with that one episode being locked out from view).
