Cool! Viz releasing the Bleach spinoff feels fitting.

I wonder if they'll have full English cast credits?

Happy to see Viz Media now licensing more new anime titles for their Home Video releases considering that for the last 2-3 years they haven't licensed any new anime lately up until their license on Genie Family and Yashahime last year.

Outside of their new manga licenses which are Viz's "bread and butter" the majority of the anime announcements for the past 2-4 years by Viz Media have been Home Video solicitations of other licensed anime titles (e.g. Pokemon, Megalobox, JoJo, Naruto/Boruto, Inuyasha, etc.) for Blu-Ray and DVD or new seasons of existing licensed anime titles (e.g. JoJo, One-Punch Man, K, etc.).

The Jujutsu Kaisen special "My Friendo!" edition is a must buy for me.

Y'know as much as I actually am happy to see this since I had always thought VIZ would've/should've been the ones to license Crunchyroll anime for home video, what the hell happened to CR's deal with Sentai? Like, I thought they had a whole contract that gave Sentai home video rights to their titles, did it only apply to Granbelm, Bookworm, Food Wars S4, and World Trigger?

Still waiting on Hamefura disc release Crying or Very sad

Here's to hoping they have a similar announcement with Funi/Sentai/Discotek soon.

Probably not considering Viz couldn't be bothered to include any for Infini-T Force & Osomatsu (though I guess re-announcing the latter's cast before people got their early copies redeemed that release).

So the Crunchyroll-Viz Media partnership turned out to be actually real.

Definitely picking up JJK. Maybe Burn the Witch and I still need to check out In/Spectre to see if that's worth a purchase.

Nice to see JJK announced so soon too. Hopefully it gets a nice release.

I'm also glad to see Viz releasing more new titles especially Jujutsu Kaisen which I'm glad they'll have another big hit long running shonen show. Hopefully Jujutsu Kaisen can also get a Toonami broadcast eventually. It would also be great to see more of Viz's back catalog added to Crunchyroll like the rest of the original Inuyasha.

I'm happy there are more crunchyroll home video releases happening but this whole ordeal with them being consistently inconsistent with home video releases still drives me bonkers.
