New Releases - 14th November 2016

Written by A. H. on 14 Nov 2016



I hope you've got a big mug of coffee in front of you this morning, because boy has this Monday brought us a lot of releases to talk about. If you're ready and raring to go, let's get cracking...

If we're going in descending size order, then we should really start with Anime Limited and their behemoth of a Full Metal Alchemist Ultimate Edition, containing the original series in its entirety on Blu-ray together with a hefty art book packed into a resin replica of the "Gate" from the series. Our unit of this release should be arriving this week, so we'll be taking a look at it as soon as we can.

Slightly less massive but still substantial is the Escaflowne Ultimate Edition from the same distributor, which officially arrives today containing the entire series and film on Blu-ray together with soundtrack CDs and art book. We're yet to review the release formally, but you can see our video coverage of this Ultimate Edition over here.

Last but not least in terms of Ultimate Editions, today finally sees Anime Limited also release Miss Hokusai officially, with both DVD and Blu-ray Standard Editions and a DVD/Blu-ray Ultimate Edition. No review copies were available to us of this release, but we have previously reviewed the film in theatrical form so you can find our thoughts right here.

Also appearing today is the Outlaw Star Blu-ray Collector's Edition, upgrading the distributor's prior DVD release which we reviewed over here.

Anime Limited's final release for today is Your Lie in April Part 1, which arrives in DVD Standard Edition and Blu-ray Collector's Edition forms today. A review is forthcoming right here on the site, so keep your eyes peeled!

Next up we have Animatsu Entertainment's release for this week, as The Perfect Insider Complete Series Collection arrives in the UK. We're yet to receive any review check discs for this title, but we'll keep you posted if we get any!

Moving on to Manga Entertainment, today sees Digimon: Digital Monsters Season 2 appear on DVD (we'll have a review at some point in the future), while Pokemon Movies 1-3 get a DVD release or, if you're so inclined, a Blu-ray Steelbook Edition containing all three films.

Last but not least, MVM Entertainment's week of releases comprises the arrival of the classic Chobits in a Blu-ray Complete Series Collection for the first time - you can read some of our thoughts on Chobits right here. Meanwhile From the New World gets a DVD Complete Series Collection - you can read our individual reviews of part one and part two on the site already.

There are also some notable new manga and light novel releases this week, including new instalments of RE:Zero and One-Punch Man - check out the full list below.
