Industry News: Discotek Media August 2018 Release Slate

Discotek have revealed their next batch of titles fairly early this time around but we have some neat cult classics from the old Manga Entertainment backlog getting re-released!

This post will also cover the announcements with release dates set for August 2018.


As mentioned in the previous release slate posts, Discotek will be changing their model slightly by releasing older long-running shows only available in standard definition on Blu-ray from here on, thanks to feedback on their social media. That means if an anime ran for 2-cours or more then it's on SD on BD rather than DVD.

Anywho here's the list of anime coming out on 28th August:
