Industry News: Discotek Media May 2018 Release Slate

Given I have covered both Funimation & Sentai Filmworks release slates, Discotek Media have released consistent line-ups as part of their DISCOTEK DAY announcements.

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


Before going over the line-up its worth noting that 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 24th April but for some reason Righstuf have them listed for 1st May instead:


Ayakashi

Includes all 12 episodes. New license.


Fair, Then Partly Piggy the Movie
Blu-ray & DVD Combo Pack - Japanese audio with English subtitles - $24.99
