OFFICIAL Anime on Blu-ray (USA releases)

It’s certainly possible, but I kinda doubt it. Anime Limited often release Collector’s Editions before their respective standard sets and since there’s been no word that this is a one and done release, I wouldn’t fret.

Like the prior release, there most likely won't be any English staff credits to speak of even though the discs will probably be different.

[Show spoiler]

[Edit]RACS now confirms that the SKU on the spine is a Maiden Japan one. Old SKU: MJB-ROH100 | New SKU: MJB-ROH110

A reminder, when Right Stuf got bought by Crunchyroll, LLC, Redo of Healer was one of the things they delisted. It will most likely not be on the Crunchyroll Store despite not being outright hentai (also of note, they removed the Kitty Media release of Ladies Versus Butlers, but not the AnimeWorks one). It should eventually appear on BuyAnime, and Amazon will probably carry it too as they carried the prior release.

Back cover now up on Amazon, and it does mention Maiden Japan in the text at the bottom. The SKU on the spine is also definitely Maiden Japan.

Also it's definitely rated 18A for Canada this time, always thought it was a bit odd the old release was 14A. First time a Maiden Japan or Sentai release is using that rating to my knowledge. There were a few ADV Films releases that used it (Ex: Elfen Lied, Samurai X complete thinpak), though those shows in later years ended up with lower ratings.

Unless it's a typo or something, looks like the Spanish subs were dropped for this re-release?

I’m sorry if I might be intruding in the middle of some conversation. This is the first time I’ve been to a forum and I need some help from those people who have one edition on Blu-ray. I have already learned some time ago about the disc "Clannad / Clannad After Story: Comlete Collection" in 2017, and more precisely, the accuracy of its status "Region free" on this site. Now I am interested in the 2023 edition: it is cheaper, but there are no reviews for this edition. Its page: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Clann...7536/#Overview

I am not from the USA or Canada (but Sentai officially makes its discs only for these countries), I have Region C, and I would like to know if anyone can check whether the new edition is adapted to Region C, like the old edition? I would be very grateful if someone would tell me what to do (except buy a new player - so far this is the only anime I would like to purchase).

I might actually start watching Toonami again after all these years.

Before he likely removes this from this post as he still hasn't maintained a list in the unreleased table on Fandom Post, here's an updated version, it's so huge now...

Why DVD And Blu-Ray Should Finally Die

BY*DON REISINGER/JULY 31, 2012 9:14 PM EST

[snip]

Still, we sit here hoping for a day when physical media will die a cold and lonely death. After all, once that happens, we'll be able to throw out our entertainment centers and save space in our living rooms for furniture. And with all of our favorite shows and movies in the cloud, ready for the taking, we can reduce all of the time we waste just to find what we want to watch, pop it into a player, and then wait for it to load.

https://www.slashgear.com/why-dvd-an...-die-31241126/

In all seriousness, it might be like a few years back where there's something going on with the distribution and warehouses again. If we don't get any news tomorrow or Friday, it may look to be the second time we've seen zero titles solicited, the first being April 2021.
https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...6#post18617236

They also almost completely skipped April 2010.
