Hopefully Manga will give us miracle by announcing Hanebado, Chio's School Road, Hinamatsuri, Takagi San, My Hime and Keijo.

Also a re-release of Black Lagoon, Ouran, Wixoss, and Blood Blockage Battlefront would be nice.

A Hanebado fan? Here's to hoping it gets a release here.

Are you supposed to buy Dr.Stone Part 1 regular edition to go with the Part 2 CE?

Any version of Dr STONE Part 1 on Blu-ray will fit inside the box for Part 2. So that's the UK Part 1 Blu-ray, UK HMV Part 1 Blu-ray, or even the US Part 1 combo pack.

[thedoctor2016]

Steins gate I’ll get but I’ll wait to see how much each HXH set is

 

[WMD]

Doesnt seem like Fire Force will be the Ltd Edition version. Surprised and sad at that. May have to go for the US release if they dont confirm it

 

[Afherlan]

If this is the final Manga reveal for Q4 then it will be zero buys from me. HxH is interesting, but did the multi volume thing with Yu Yu Hakusho from Australia and I won't be bothered with that again. Funny how AL and MVM with three and four revealed titles (respectively) manages to pique my interest far more than four batches of Manga reveals manages to.

It is not the final batch I can confirm. There's a few more left to announce.

 

[JTO]

Still hoping they'll announce Nichijou for Q4.

 

[Afherlan]

The hope is alive!

Fingers crossed for Hensuki & Keijo!!!!!!

Most likely Index 3 / Accelerator though.

This is likely what I’ll be doing unless they announce it soon.

Going to lower your expectations here, for more of the newer catalog stuff (like Golden Kamuy and DxD) you're best waiting for Q1.

This is likely what I’ll be doing unless they announce it soon.

Last I checked, there are currently no plans to release the limited edition version for Fire Force Part 2. If enough people demand it, perhaps it might work but I doubt it.

 

[TakamakiJoker]

Fingers crossed for Hensuki & Keijo!!!!!!

Most likely Index 3 / Accelerator though.

For me fingers crossed for Hinamatsuri, Chio's School Road, Haneabo and Takagi San then again there's Q1 2021 where it will mostly be filled with fan catalogue shows and may show up.

 

[HWR]

I’d like to see Konohana Kitan and Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens pop up somewhere along the line.

 

[Bryan Admiraal]

I like two see The Helpful Fox Senko-san but wil not heppen

 

[thedoctor2016]

Yeah I think no sports will ever come due to Haikyu’s failure so no Free, No Keijo, No Hanebado, No Yuri on Ice re release
