Overseas The Discotek Media Thread

NormanicGrav · 16 March 2021

Founded in 2005, Discotek Media first started off selling various Asian live-action films on DVD including some of Takashi Miike's films (Dead or Alive, The Happiness of the Katakuris). Eventually they stepped into anime with the likes of Toei's Animal Treasure Island and The Wonderful World of Puss 'n Boots among a few others. Over time, their reputation grew and more anime were acquired, from license rescues to out-of-nowhere acquisitions to partnerships with both Crunchyroll and TMS Entertainment.

Many may recognise Discotek Media for their efforts in bringing Lupin the Third back into the anime community, but also their trio of people who work for the mysterious boss. The trio involved include Brady Hartel (video production, restoration, product/packaging design, QC), Justin Sevakis (Blu-ray author expert, worked with Anime Limited on products including Millennium Actress 4K, Outlaw Star, Planetes and The Vision of Escaflowne), and Mike Toole (Contributor to Liner Notes, Audio Commentary & Essays).

Discotek also author their releases to the point where sometimes they end up providing definitive or interesting ways to improve the product of a show or film. For instance, before they found the original 35mm film masters, they had been using AstroRes technology for Project A-Ko which makes LaserDisc quality onto HD upscale look pretty impressive. This sort of technology was also used for Memories for a specific scene.

Considering the distributor's line-up of intriguing titles I figured it was time that this forum actually had a thread towards them. While the crew commonly hang out on the Blu-ray forum, I figured an AUKN thread can be handy similarly to the Aniplex thread that I also have.

The 4K & SD-BD section has been updated! It took a bit of time as I wanted to provide additional info for each individual set, so for instance the year they aired, episode count, audio specs and studio. Some details I have yet to add are the likes of "partial English dubs" in a sense which I am saving for last.

The list from that section is up-to-date in terms of the latest releases (i.e. May 2021).

Dai · 17 March 2021

Thanks, this will be very useful. I try to keep up to date with Discotek announcements via Facebook, but I always end up missing something.

Their Violence Jack DVD has issues

SpaceDandy · 20 March 2021

So this literally suggests they just translated SHIN Vision's subtitles to English…

awadama fever · 22 March 2021

I'm really grateful for Discotek releasing stuff like Sonic X, Beyblade, Monster Rancher and Dinosaur King on SD-BD.

Now I want Ultimate Muscle, Rave Master and Shaman King

Imagine if they got a hold of the Shaman King dub to go with it. That thing doesn't even exist on home video.

NormanicGrav · 5 April 2021

Discotek's June 2021 line-up has been revealed. Memories was confirmed beforehand but is now official.

Anime	SRP	Audio/Subs	Content	Format
Dear Brother	$69.95	Japanese with English Subs	39 episodes	Blu-ray
Lady Oscar: The Rose of Versailles Collection 2	$49.95	Japanese with English Subs	20 episodes	Blu-ray
Memories	$29.95	English & Japanese with English Subs	Film	Blu-ray
Nyanbo!	$19.95	Japanese with English Subs	26 short episodes	Blu-ray
Video Warrior Laserion	$59.95	Japanese with English Subs	45 episodes	SD Blu-ray

As mentioned earlier on the forum, Dear Brother's license is much shorter than the usual so if you want to pick up the classic series then by all means pre-order or order as soon as it is released.

Dan · 6 April 2021

I’ll be getting Memories. Can’t believe it’s finally got a dub and by all accounts it’s a superb dub as well.

NormanicGrav · 23 April 2021

Discotek Media announced a few days ago that select Crunchyroll licenses have discontinued. One of them has been given a UK Blu-ray release by Anime Limited so that's sorted at least.

Blu-ray:

5 Centimeters per Second [UK Blu-ray available via Anime Limited]
Arpeggio of Blue Steel
Strike the Blood Season 1

DVD:

Free! Iwatobi Swim Club [US Blu-ray available via Funimation]

Recently, My Sister Is Unusual

Arpeggio of Blue Steel is one of the more impressive-looking CG anime, in terms of replicating the hand-drawn look. It's completely convincing in stills, and sometimes even in motion, or at least I thought so when it first aired. I'm curious to revisit it and see if it still holds up.

Recently My Sister is Unusual can't disappear from the face of the Earth too soon. Easily one of the worst shows I've ever seen.

Aye Sanzigen is generally one of the better CG studios these days. Really recommend BanG Dream (Season 2 onwards) and D4DJ if you want to see more of their work.

Looks like the Getter Robo Armageddon subs on the Blu by Discotek have some pretty big translation flubs.

Dai · 8 June 2021

I'm glad Orguss is getting a blu-ray release. After buying the first couple of volumes of the blink-and-you-miss-it ImaginAsian release (presented on the finest of DVD-Rs...), I never did get around to buying the Discotek one, and it seems to be out of print now.

They were originally saying summer for the first Urusei Yatsura movie, so it's disappointing that it's not in the August lineup.

Sounds like with UY movies they've hit a snag that has delayed the release of Movies 1, 3-6, having previously released movie 2 beautiful dreamer, which has always been a separate license, as it was released by CPM, whereas the others were all Animeigo,
I was expecting them to start in August also but they are still coming so no biggy.
