ANN:Discotek Media announced on Wednesday that it has licensed the
Eat-Man, Eat-Man `98, Cosmo Warrior Zero, Gun Frontierand The Galaxy Railways: A Letter from the Abandoned Planetanime. In addition, Discotek announced that it will release School Days on Blu-ray Disc on December 6 and the Yowamushi Pedal Grande Road sequel anime on DVD in
January. Discotek released School Days on DVD in 2014. The company announced in 2014 that it had licensed both the first and the second anime series for Yowamushi Pedal, and released the first series in January 2016. The original Eat-Man anime series from 1997 is slated for release on DVD on December 6. Like Akihito Yoshitomi’s Eat-Man manga, the 12-episode anime series follows Bolt Crank, a man who can eat anything and reproduce it in his right hand.
Discotek plans to release Eat-Man `98 on DVD in
January. Bandai Entertainment previously released the 12-episode series on DVD in 2005 with an English dub, but Discotek’s release will be Japanese-only with English subtitles. Discotek plans to release Cosmo Warrior Zero on DVD on December 20. The release will include both Japanese and English dub tracks.
Discotek will release the The Galaxy Railways: A Letter from the Abandoned Planet OVA on DVD in
January, with a Blu-ray Disc release to follow. Crunchyroll recently added the anime streaming, and the series is also streaming on Viewster. The four-episode OVA bridges the story of The Galaxy Railways and Ginga Tetsudo Monogatari: Eien e no Bunkiten television anime, although it was released after the latter had already aired. The OVA debuted in December 2006. Discotek’s upcoming release calendar is as follows:
