GKIDS Presents: Masaaki Yuasa: Five Films
The Brilliant Collection of Films by the Acclaimed Anime Auteur Masaaki Yuasa Arrives in a Stunning Box Set Available December 19, 2023
Highly Celebrated Films MIND GAME, The Night is Short, Walk On Girl, Lu Over The Wall, Ride Your Wave INU-OH and More Feature in a Fantastic 6-Disc Set with Striking New Art Designed by the Legendary Animator Himself Masaaki Yuasa
Best known for his trademark blends of inventive visual artistry and emotion-packed, sharp narrative, the visionary animator and director Masaaki Yuasa boasts a captivating library of films that is beloved and acclaimed all over the world. Now from the ingenious filmmaker comes the exquisite collection Masaaki Yuasa: Five Films, available on December 19, 2023, by GKIDS with distribution from Shout! Studios.
Widely regarded as one of the most imaginative and influential filmmakers working in animation, Masaaki Yuasa's energetic style has been compared to Tex Avery and Max Fleischer. He is one of contemporary anime's most prolific auteurs and has lent his humor and dynamism to genres as diverse as psychedelic thrillers, transcendent rock-operas and sweetly subversive teen romances. This set includes Masaaki Yuasa's five celebrated and industry-lauded feature films – 2004's MIND GAME (Fantasia International Film Festival winner for Best Film, Best Director and Best Script), 2017's The Night is Short, Walk On Girl (winner of the 41st Annual Japanese Academy Award's Animation of the Year), 2017's Lu Over the Wall (2017 Annecy winner for Best Feature), 2019's Ride Your Wave (Fantasia International Film Festival winner for Best Animated Feature), and 2021's INU-OH (2022 Golden Globe nominee for Best Animation) – along with a host of never-before-seen bonus features.
The treasure trove collection features stunning art newly designed by Masaaki Yuasa throughout the packaging, a 13"x21" poster of the new art and an exclusive 60-page book celebrating the work of this one-of-a-kind storyteller and featuring excerpts from the creative's sketchbook. Fans of the animator's award-winning projects can pre-order their 6-disc set of Masaaki Yuasa: Five Films on GKIDS.com/Yuasa.
MIND GAME
Audiences will begin to grasp what they are in for early on as loser Nishi, too wimpy to try to save his childhood sweetheart from gangsters, is shot in the butt by a soccer-playing psychopath, projecting Nishi into the afterlife. In this limbo, God – shown as a series of rapidly changing characters – tells him to walk toward the light. But Nishi runs like hell in the other direction and returns to Earth a changed man, driven to live each moment to the fullest.
THE NIGHT IS SHORT, WALK ON GIRL
As a group of teens go out for a night on the town, a sophomore known only as "The Girl with Black Hair" experiences a series of surreal encounters with the local nightlife… all the while unaware of the romantic longings of Senpai, a fellow student who has been creating increasingly fantastic and contrived reasons to run into her, in an effort to win her heart. Featuring boundless imagination and visual wit, The Night is Short, Walk on Girl is a celebration of the unconventional, confusing routes that life and love can take, from one of the most exciting voices in anime today.
LU OVER THE WALL
After his family moves from Tokyo to a small fishing village, teenager Kai spends his days sulking and adrift. When his classmates invite him to play keyboard in their band, their jam sessions bring an unexpected guest: Lu, a young mermaid whose fins turn to feet when she hears the beats, and whose singing causes humans to compulsively dance. But when an ancient prophecy threatens Lu and the village, Kai and his new friends must save the day in this toe-tapping adventure for the entire family.
RIDE YOUR WAVE
Hinako is a surf-loving college student who has just moved to a small seaside town. When a sudden fire breaks out at her apartment building, she is rescued by Minato, a handsome firefighter, and the two soon fall in love. Just as they become inseparable, Minato loses his life in an accident at sea. Hinako is so distraught that she can no longer even look at the ocean, but one day she sings a song that reminds her of their time together, and Minato appears in the water. From then on, she can summon him in any watery surface as soon as she sings their song, but can the two really remain together forever? And what is the real reason for Minato's sudden reappearance?
INU-OH
Born to an esteemed family, Inu-oh is afflicted with an ancient curse that has left him on the margins of society. When he meets the blind musician Tomona, a young biwa priest haunted by his past, Inu-oh discovers a captivating ability to dance. The pair quickly become business partners and inseparable friends as crowds flock to their electric, larger-than-life concerts. But when those in power threaten to break up the band, Inu-oh and Tomona must dance and sing to uncover the truth behind their creative gifts.

Re: Upcoming U.S. Anime Releases - 2023 Edition
Links don't work on firefox, but anyways, this could be a good sign. We've recently learned that Walmart is basically the biggest seller of movies now and if they can convince the labels to keep making stuff, maybe physical media will stick around a while longer.
Also, I wonder if they'd do Whisper of the Heart with The Cat Returns, since they're sorta related.

‘Suzume’ Filmmaker Makoto Shinkai Set For Pop-Up Retrospective At Academy Museum
EXCLUSIVE: Crunchyroll is rolling out a one-day-only private pop-up installation “Makoto Shinkai: A Journey from Voices of a Distant Star through Suzume,” which will explore the complete works of Japanese animation filmmaker Makoto Shinkai.
The event from Crunchyroll in cooperation with CoMix Wave Film, Story Inc and Toho Co. will be held November 19 at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and will feature a special appearance by the award-winning auteur director.
The installation will present artwork and materials from eight of Shinkai’s films starting with Voices of a Distant Star (2002) through to his latest critically acclaimed film Suzume. His recent full-length animated films Your Name (2016) and Weathering with You (2019) will also be included.
Shinkai’s films examine themes of loneliness, distance, loss and longing, and humanity’s complex relationship with the natural world. His conceived real and science fiction worlds are filled with characters whose journeys and emotions resonate within us all.
Attendees will be treated to Shinkai’s creative process – from initial proposals and early sketches to design, including storyboard, animation renderings, and final film materials – and will be able to follow his growth as an animation artist and storyteller, particularly following the aftermath of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, which profoundly affected his approach. An accompanying film retrospective in the museum’s Ted Mann Theater will allow guests to delve deeper into the world Shinkai creates.
RSVPs will open at 10 a.m. PT on Monday, November 6 here. More info: email [email protected].
Film Retrospective Screening Schedule
10:30 a.m. – Public Screening of Weathering with You (2019)
1:30 p.m. – Private Screening of Suzume (2023)
5:15 p.m. – Public Screening of Your Name. (2016)

Maybe they ran out of the initial copies and didn't want to leave it in their typical "sold out" status?
