The Protomen enhanced my life.Actually, in regards to Monster Rancher, they said the first dubbed set is gonna be released in December 2013. Anyway...I LOVE Discotek Media, even though I only have three movies they released (Sea Prince and the Fire Child and the two Unico movies). I only wish they release Ringing Bell and Fairy Florence (aka Journey to Fairyland) so I can complete my Sanrio movie collection.
Edit: Newsflash. Discotek Media has JUST announced a license for Ringing Bell. Cue my rejoicing and squeeing.

I consider Discotek Media to be the animation equivalent to The Criterion Collection. They always make sure that their releases are of the best quality possible, and the titles they rescue would probably have either faded into obscurity or never see a release in the US.
Since they're currently the main distributers for Lupin III, I hope they rerelease The Castle of Cagliostro, with both the Streamline and Manga Entertainment dubs. They did an awesome job with The Mystery of Mamo, and I would love to see the same job done with The Castle of Cagliostro.
The fact that they've licensed the Mega Man and Cybersix shows me that they're willing to rescue western shows as well, in which case, here's to hoping that they rescue Mighty Orbots.
This is not the greatest signature in the world, no... this is just a tribute.And now Discotek has licensed Ghost Stories. It's a comedy series that got a really weird (and not really in a good way) gag dub courtesy of everyone's favorite ADR director, Stephen Foster.
It's kind of an interesting pick.
Discotek is making a bunch of new announcements today, so I'll edit this post to add them as they come.
First announcement: The Fatal Fury TV specials, to be released in 2014.
Lupin the 3rd: Bye Bye Liberty Crisis
DNA 2

I've got three Discotek DV Ds: The Sea Prince and the Fire Child, Animal Treasure Island, and Taro the Dragon Boy. Eventually I'd like to add a couple more to my collection, like the Unico movies, and maybe Ringing Bell.
Oh, if the double feature is Blu-Ray only, I'll track down the DV Ds instead. I don't know much about the Unico movies. I remember reading—several years ago, so my memory might be off—that the first movie was a compilation of episodes from a TV series that never aired. And then they. . . made a sequel, I suppose?
Yep. I heard Reed Nelson had leaked that Discotek has gotten the UK dub, although I haven't seen confirmation, myself.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.Discotek has the licenses for Violence Jack, which is interesting, and also Zombie Loan which is apparently a thing.
Oh, and Shin Mazinger Z Impact, the remake/reimagining thing of Mazinger Z from 2009.

So, in light of the large batch of titles Discotek has just announced for release (including the Cardcaptor Sakura movie, the original Devilman show, a Mamoru Oshii OVA called Dallos, Great Teacher Onizuka, Jin-Roh and more), I thought it might be a good idea to make a thread dedicated to them.
Their next big release is the complete series of the original Space Pirate Captain Harlock, which I will definitely buy. I have a few of their releases, and they are high-quality and I love them for it.

It is where they announce new acquisitions and release dates.
