October 2020 Solicitations for US Anime Home Video Releases

Welcome to the October 2020 solicitations for the US anime home video releases, covering Discotek Media, Funimation, and Sentai.

Each title has been colour-coded to represent which distributor they belong to:

• Orange: Crunchyroll license
• Red: Discotek Media license (will be updated later from the others)
• Purple: Funimation license
• Blue: Sentai, Maiden Japan licenses

Funimation generally reveals their titles around 14th-16th each month, Sentai generally reveals theirs between 18th-25th each month (though in this case it was the 30th), and Discotek reveals theirs around the first week of the next month.

Note: Dr. STONE Season 1 Part 2 was listed for 20th October, but was instantly removed soon after. Chances are it was probably supposed to be part of the November 2020 slate instead.
