A bit about Discotek Media.

It'll sit next to all those other Lupin TV specials really nicely.
Welp, all done. Lupin the 3rd is caught up.
A few things out of print. A few not on Blu-ray. A few from other companies. But the Lupin anime has hit home video in English in some form or another for fans.

It's Discotek Day! I'm @marcfbr & it's time to tell you about the new titles you can pre-order right now that are coming out in May!
But first, let's answer the question you probably have about them being for May...
Disc replication & shipping for various companies has been slow since the holiday season.
It looks like it's getting back to normal, but just in case, we're skipping April.
But May will be a massive month of releases with 20 discs over 8 releases!
And they are big ones.
Digimon Season 2
The 2nd season of the classic English dub of Digimon gives the adventures of Davis, Veemon, & co. a brand new high quality upscale cleaning up decades of video issues.
The battle against the Digimon Emperor has never looked as good!
It's fall, pumpkins are around, people are drinking pumpkin spice in things like coffee and soup... and we're gonna have a fun stream with anime announces & news, you'll want to be there before it begins!
The 2nd adventure with A-ko and the gang has been fully remastered based on the original film! The subtitles have been gone over, and the dub has been synced to the new remaster.
The series got a pretty nice remaster in Japan, which is here, and the subtitles have been gone over.
The English dub ran a bit longer than the Japanese & has been recreated w/ remastered Japanese footage & the extra footage has been upscaled & color corrected as nicely as possible.
In fact, the clip at the beginning of this thread switches between sources a number of times.
