Welcome to the October 2024 US industry release schedule blog post which covers the latest home video anime releases for United States and Canada from distributors AnimEigo, Aniplex of America, Crunchyroll, Discotek Media, and Sentai Filmworks.
These news posts are generally released once Crunchyroll or Sentai had revealed their line-up which is often announced first between 14th-18th every month. The post will then be updated to include new AnimEigo, Discotek Media and Aniplex of America releases when available.
Each title below will have links when available, and all prices listed below don’t include VAT or Customs. Finalised artwork will be presented below when available (with some exceptions). With the exception for Amazon, Crunchyroll Store and Sentai Store only ship domestically for US & Canada (for international fans, I recommend checking out Stackry to forward the items to them so they can be sent to your area).
The schedule below is up to date as of Thursday 19th September 2024.
Any delayed releases will be mentioned in the list below.
- The Dreaming Boy is a Realist – Moved from 8th October to 19th November
