Industry News: Discotek Media October 2018 Release Slate

A mini line-up for the latest Discotek slate but they have tons of titles incoming thanks to their Otakon announcements (with more incoming as well).

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