A lot more progress has been put towards newer releases this time around for both distributors. Of course, we also have more titles re-released that were initially in the S.A.V.E. vault which is a nice bonus. For this post, I’ll be rounding up all of the new releases between these two distributors for the month of April 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.)
