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.
