Welcome to the May 2026 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, GKIDS/TOHO 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, though delays can occur. The post will then be updated to include any new AnimEigo, Aniplex of America, Discotek Media and GKIDS/TOHO 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 March 2026.
Any delayed releases will be mentioned in the list below.
Disclaimer: Amazon links included in this post are affiliated so if you decide to order them, I’ll earn a small percentage if they dispatch. International shipping restrictions may apply for select items.
