Sounds promising, been holding out in hopes of a box set. Any clue to when pre-orders will be up?

Rightstuf has Box 1 available, covering Volumes 1-7, which is due for August 2021. No other retailer seems to have them listed yet.

Appreciate the info
I did find a listing on Amazon UK but pre-orders aren't live just yet. I'm guessing other UK retailers will follow soon.ActionFaust

Osamu Kobayashi (director of BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad and Paradise Kiss, episode director for Gurren Lagann and Dororo) has passed away from cancer at age 57. Truly one of the most unique creators in anime and a devastating loss for the industry. Rest in peace king.
I noticed his work for Gurren Lagann. I looked it up, given that it is my favourite anime and I'm currently taking part in the AUKN simulwatch of the series. Sadly, it turned out that he directed episode 4, widely considered to be the worst episode in the series. It was the episode which resulted in the animation director Takami Akai being fired because of his reaction to people's criticism of the episode.

Yeah there was a similar reaction to his episode of Dororo. It's such a shame since both are fantastic episodes and yet a lot of viewers don't take too well to a change in animation style. Neither episode had bad art but I can understand that it'd be a bit jarring for some people. Would be nice if viewers were more open to studios experimenting with their series instead of restricting themselves.

With the Quintuplets series being licensed by Crunchyroll I think it's more likely for them to stream it at some point. They've uploaded quite a few movies for series such as Saga of Tanya the Evil, Bungo Stray Dogs, Given, Re:Zero, Goblin Slayer and Konosuba to name a few. I doubt they'll skip out on this one.

The question I wonder is whether Funimation would step in a for home release like they did for the Goblin Slayer movie. Whether they will I guess depends on whether they think it's commercially viable. Though that potential Sony acquisition of Crunchyroll might make it easier (though that's very speculative to say the least).

Fingers crossed for that. I really enjoyed it at Scotland Loves Anime 2019.
I'll be wanting to watch it on Crunchyroll in any case; I've already added a reminder to my calendar for it.

Man, I'm going have to retrain myself to click on Funimation e-mails now. I've been ignoring them by habit, as till now, they've only come from their streaming service, which I once signed up for, and then promptly forgot about.

In out of nowhere news, Restaurant to Another World is getting a second anime season. The first season aired a few years ago and was co-produced by Crunchyroll.

I think I checked out the first episode of that series, but thought it didn't seem like it would be as good as Kakuriyo Bed & Breakfast For Spirits, which I really enjoyed. I need to go back and watch a bit more, I guess. I really would love a second season of Kakuriyo.
