Will get the Konosuba S2 Steelbook to go with the first season steel I got, and probably Tales of Phantasia, since I have most of the other "Tales of" anime.
UY movie 5 is the only one for me on there. That's probably just as well since the Yuki Yuna box set is out the same day.Discotek's September 2022 line-up is now available.

I'd hoped UY5 would be out earlier than December, but it is what it is.UY movie 5 is the only one for me on there. That's probably just as well since the Yuki Yuna box set is out the same day.
I quite like the designs in UY5 since it feels like the characters have grown a bit, which fits with the themes of the story. It's just a shame we don't get a real pay-off for that since the ending is almost identical to the final scene of Only You. That final moment of them running away together never felt like enough.I'd hoped UY5 would be out earlier than December, but it is what it is.
It's a decent enough movie, but a weird one for me. I've always felt as though the original anime ended with the fourth movie as that brought the Oshii/Yamazaki TV era to a close. Rewatching that recently was a poignant (and confusing) experience.
Nothing that followed was quite the same: new studios, new staff, and most importantly no Akemi Takada character designs. None of it looked as good as the first four movies or even some of the later TV stuff.
So, uhh, yeah. Getting that one.

Sasuraiger hasn't been out a month yet, so that's surprising. I'm glad I grabbed it already (or I will be glad if it gets better than its tepid first episode...).
Stock Update - Discotek has confirmed they will be letting go four of their titles once the stock has run out. They are pretty niche to be fair, but for mecha fans this is worth having a look into when you have the time:

Having seen all six movies at the start of this year, and ordering four of them at the last minute in the RightStuf birthday sale, I for one am looking forward to buying and seeing the whole 195 episode series.Urusei Yatsura is another great announcement. I've never seen the series and I'm not sure I can commit to 195 episodes but at the right price I'd be mighty tempted. Still hoping that AL brings across the movies in a nice box set but I'm close to caving ...
