It's not a license announcement for DearS, and please specify on the top, just in case, that the Tomorrow's Joe movie is the live-action one. They may not scroll down more than a certain amount.

I got to be honest, I was a bit underwhelmed by the announcements. Besides Legend of.the Overfiend, most of the stuff just didn't appeal to me. But still I love listening to these guys talk, it's always fun to hear Mike. Brady, and Justin

So looks like Sentai Filmworks no longer has the license to When They Cry-Higurashi. I hope Discotek can get season 2 & 3 of that too since that now is no longer with Sentai.

Angel Heart! Yes! Thank you, Discotek! This is a truly great announcement! Finally, to be able to own this great, heart-rending, heart-healing alternate universe City Hunter tale! I never thought I'd see the day!

I used to own DearS on DVD. It's good to see it finally getting a Blu-ray release.

I'm most looking forward to Kamen Rider X, Janperson, Osomatsu-kun, Higurashi, and Nanoha Vivid Strike. I'm glad Discotek is picking up the slack for what Shout can't release of Kamen Rider and they're picking up a lot of neat toku shows.

Nothing terribly exciting for me personally, but I'm definitely getting Ange Heart! Also Osomatsu-kun would be fun to own.
Too bad I waited too long on getting City Hunter 2, otherwise my City Hunter collection would be complete. Hopefully we'll get Angel Dust next. |

Thekingsdinner: Angel Dust got picked up by Anime Ltd., and was supposed to get a theatrical release by now.

It's a shame they only dub OVAs and movies. A new dub for Higurashi (maybe using the Funimation cast from the newer seasons) would be nice.

I'm interested in Angel Heart. Warning to any new anime fans who may not be familiar with Discotek release patterns: they appear to do low print runs so if there is something you see you like, don't wait too long before snapping it up. Some Discotek titles go out of print fast.

Strange how it didn't get released theatrically yet in other regions. I've seen it theatrically in the Netherlands about a year ago, but that was distributed by Periscoop Film. |

Man, they really went in the paint on the "syndicated action cartoon" license rescues this time around, huh? I can't say there's anything in there I'm rushing to Amazon to pre-order but it is at the least, the most eclectic lineup from a distributor in this space.

Re: ViVid Strike
And some people want to claim Aniplex Jail doesn't exist anymore because of Crunchyroll, a sister company, getting a few recent shows licensed? Well, we got proof now that it's still a thing... From the stream
This also affects the first two movies since Aniplex was involved with those as well. |

There have also been recently Viz for 86 & Anime Limited in the UK for Blood: The Last Vampire, so Aniplex is starting to license out to other companies now. However, much like whenever someone asks the Discotek guys how to apply for a job, Aniplex is seemingly taking a "Don't Call Us; We'll Call You" stance, and Discotek appears to be a company Aniplex has no interest in working with, for whatever reason.
