New Releases - 15th August 2016

"Yesterday... all my troubles seemed so far away..." But now it's Monday, and the weekly trouble of figuring out what anime releases are actually arriving in the UK is upon me once again.

With the latest volume of Naruto Shippuden pushed back again at the last minute, we have a couple of newcomers today. First up is a 25th anniversary edition of Studio Ghibli's Only Yesterday, which arrives as a DVD/Blu-ray combo pack from STUDIOCANAL complete with its all-new English dub (as well as Japanese with English subtitles, of course).

Meanwhile, MVM Entertainment bring us their previously delayed release of the Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East - Complete Series 1 Collection on both DVD and Blu-ray. You can read our thoughts of this release over here.

There's nothing to speak of manga or light novel-wise this week, so that's it, we're done, you're free to go. Be sure to come back next Monday though - there will be a quiz. Speaking of which, it's all about re-releases next week - Haibane Renmei returns to the UK and Fate/stay Night gets a Blu-ray outing while Perfect Blue gets a Steelbook presentation. Until then, take care!
