Both The Ancient Magus' Bride, Black Clover and OVERLORD II receive limited edition releases. Citrus is also released but remains a standard release. The Death Note live-action films are back in print, but they lose their Viz Media English dubs in the process though the recent DN film was never before dubbed.

More One Piece gets released though it's just a TV special. More Dragon Ball Super for the fans of that franchise and also the remainder of Twin Star Exorcists gets released. Black Clover's third part includes a limited edition with a box to hold all five parts of the first season.
