Re: Upcoming U.S. Anime Releases - 2021 Edition
Now that some of the discs are in customer hands, I can say… the English releases of Evangelion TV/D(t)^2/EoE are produced by @MediaOCD! The team worked REALLY hard on these, and I can’t wait for people to see how great they turned out.
Note: we cannot answer any ?’s about em.

It’s been a while since our last update and we wanted to reach out and assure you that we are still hard at work on the NEON GENESIS EVANGELION Ultimate Edition.
We urge you to double-check the shipping address on your order, and if it has changed, update it with the form here to help ensure successful delivery.

As Evangelion fans ourselves, we know how long you’ve waited for this release and how many had hoped to receive this in time for the holidays.
We apologize for the delay, and please know that we are working to deliver these units as quickly as we can under these exceptional circumstances.

Last minute disc change...
Urusei Yatsura: Only You is being delayed until December 31st.
A bit of hold up at the disc replicators means it isn't ready to head out yet.

Re: Upcoming U.S. Anime Releases - 2021 Edition
First up, the slipcover, and new cover, for Project A-ko on Blu-ray features brand new art by @kinucakes. If you want that classic poster art, no worries, you can flip around the insert and have the classic A-ko artwork as the cover.
---
The English dub is here & has been remastered. The Japanese audio is along for the ride & we've gone through the subtitles to improve them where necessary.
The new remastered video is available in both 16x9 and 4x3, so theatrical presentation or open-matte, it's up to you!
A few 16x9 widescreen shots off the final disc.
The movie was storyboarded in widescreen, and this is how it would have been framed for movie theaters. This is 'likely' how the creators intended for it to be seen.
---
Project A-ko was animated open-matte, which means there was more on the top & bottom that was cropped off for the final presentation. This 4x3 version is also on the disc. Many of you likely first saw A-ko this way & we wanted to make sure you still could.
As for extras, we had a problem.
We put together too much.
The extras menu had to be TWO SCREENS!
First up, the video extras...
---
We have 2 commentaries, by Yuji Moriyama, the animation director & one of the leads behind the scenes of A-ko, plus a track with all 3 Japanese VAs!
There are also a stack of vintage trailers, commercials, & previews. Some of these we can practically guarantee you've never seen, as even tracking down copies good enough to use proved difficult.
Some other videos you've seen before are here, newly captured.
---
We made a brand new documentary about the music of Project A-ko!
We tracked down the lost, never finished, US CD-ROM Video Game to show you. Vintage Motion Comics. Music Videos.
The list eventually ends, but it's pretty long.
Oh yeah. We had all the storyboards for the movie.
So we made a version where you can watch the movie side by side with the storyboards.
The ENTIRE movie.
---
We're only hitting the second page of extras now...
This features product art, galleries of archival images, many never before seen, plus trivia/notes, a new essay about the history of A-ko on home video and the remastering, & a guide to blink and miss it gags in the film.
The galleries feature all the art we could find, plus zoom-ins of the art, production artwork from the making of A-ko...
---
We tracked down old Project A-ko media releases and got images of those so you can see as much of the history of A-ko as possible.
VHS tapes, LDs, even the VHD. And that's only the beginning of the massive galleries.
The trivia & liner notes is a guide to various bits of A-ko fun you may or may not have known.
Then the essay tells you about the entire history of A-ko on home video, up to the new remaster.
The Mischief Gallery shows you where the animators had some fun (&/or stress.)
This is a preview that shows off a 'tiny' bit of everything, but you'll have to go through the disc to see it all.
And between us... there are a few easter eggs if you look around. Nothing crazy, you won't really miss out if you don't find them. But shhh... they're a secret.

Re: Upcoming U.S. Anime Releases - 2021 Edition
The biggest home video hurdle with Netflix is the English dub. Netflix own English dub rights (along with select languages around the world) on select titles. Using these Netflix dubs may not be cost effective (it doesn't apply to all Netflix anime titles). Sentai Filmworks has done their own English dub on select titles like Baki (as mentioned earlier). Possible cost issue with English dub + lack of streaming rights are the key reasons why you don't see many Netflix anime released on home video (or released in timely manner).
