Industry News: Sentai Filmworks June 2018 Release Slate

Sentai continues their monthly LE sets with another Spring 2017 series. Plus we have more Initial D and another Maiden Japan release.


As a brief reminder, there will be no DVD versions for any brand new releases and re-releases. To ensure consistency select titles that have sequel contents (whether it's a second series or a second film) will keep the DVD option for now.

The June 2018 release slate features the following:
 - 1 limited edition set
 - 2 subtitled-only release

Grav's Thoughts on the Release Slate:

So for the month of June we have a couple titles.

Catalogue:
A Spirit of the Sun

Winter 2016:
New Theatrical Movie Initial D Legend 3: Dream

Winter 2017:
BanG Dream!

Spring 2017:
Anonymous Noise
Grimoire of Zero
Kabukibu!

So the highlight of the month is both Anonymous Noise and Grimoire of Zero, with the latter receiving the Flip Flappers style collector's treatment. Pricing-wise it's pretty solid though it's only an artbook and a couple artcards but still it's better than how Ajin and Parasyte were handled. Both of these titles are also getting English dubbed releases.

BanG Dream! is also finally seeing a release and it will include the OVA. The show will be released as a subtitled only Blu-ray only release, same goes for Kabukibu! also. Meanwhile we conclude the New Theatrical Movie Initial D Legend trilogy, also dubbed much like the previous two films in the series.

And last but not least we have another Maiden Japan release with A Spirit of the Sun, a 2006 OVA series (2 episodes long) from studio Madhouse. Sounds like Maiden Japan got a bundle of sorts from the studio. Much like Maiden Japan's previous announcement this title will also be given an English dub.
