The upcoming slate has now reached the year of 2020. Funimation and Sentai are going all-out with an interesting selection, including some titles that literally only aired back in January 2019 and some more steelbooks. For this post, I’ll be rounding up all of the new releases between these two distributors for the month of January 2020.
Each title has been color-coded to represent which distributor they belong to:
- Orange – Crunchyroll license, but distributed by Funimation
- Purple – Funimation license
- Blue – Sentai Filmworks license (includes any Maiden Japan licenses etc.)
UPDATE 9th May 2020: There had been some release date adjustments after this blog post was made and therefore have been removed from the list below. The following that were delayed are as follows:
- No Game, No Life & No Game, No Life Zero (Blu-ray) [LES]
