November 2020 Solicitations for US Anime Home Video Releases

Welcome to the November 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:

• 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: Azur Lane and One Piece Season 10 Voyage 3 were added post-reveal. The Garden of Words Steelbook was listed for 17th November, but has since been cancelled by Sentai.

Disclaimer: Amazon links are also included when available. They are affiliated so if you decide to order them, I’ll earn a small percentage if they ship which will help me with any hauls or small bills.
