Azur Lane, BOFURI, Cannon Busters, CLANNAD and more announced for UK Q2 2021 Release by Manga Entertainment

Slightly earlier than expected, as the first month of 2021 has yet to end, but today Manga Entertainment, who are now part of the FUNimation group, have today announced new title licenses as part of their Q2 2021 release schedule with highlights including Azur Lane, BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt So I’ll Max Out My Defense, Cannon Busters and CLANNAD.

In addition to the newly announced titles Manga Entertainment will continue to release the individual season sets of Dragon Ball Z, in both standard and steelbook forms, and HUNTER X HUNTER as part instalments.

Those who follows us on social media, specifically Twitter, might remember that Anime-On-line, the retail site operated by MVM Entertainment, listed CLANNAD & CLANNAD After Story Collection for pre-order in November 2020 last year before it was shortly removed. At the time Manga Entertainment (quite naturally) denied its existence, but today’s announcement confirms the release and provides some additional hope for Blu-Ray releases of K-ON! and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya; both of which were also listed last year but have yet to be formally announced by the distributor.

Regardless, Q2 2021 is shaping up to be an interesting year with a mix of shonen styled titles, such as Dragon Ball Z, Fairy Tail and HUNTER X HUNTER, along with other titles such as Azur Lane, BOFURI and Fruits Basket.

As per usual the dates listed above are tentative and could change without notice. An updated release schedule can also be found on the official MangaUK Website.
