Publishers AniMoon Publishing, Crunchyroll, polyband anime and KSM Anime have rescheduled the release dates of 28 new Blu-ray and DVD releases, according to listings from various online stores. Among the affected titles are all volumes of Sakamoto Days, Virgin Road and Bitte zieh dich an Takamine!, as well as the second and third volumes of Bocchi the Rock!, the steelbook of the second season of Sailor Moon, the complete box of Kaiju No. 8 and the first two volumes of the limited Bankai edition of Bleach.
The physical calendar shifts toward late 2026 and early 2027 📅
Most of the delays are concentrated between late 2026 and early 2027, a margin that exceeds the usual adjustment periods in production and distribution. Store listings show new dates for each item, forcing collectors to review their pre-orders and distributors to recalculate storage logistics. This shift affects both standard editions and limited formats and steelbooks, and confirms the volatility of the physical anime release calendar in the German market, where coordination between licensing, dubbing and disc pressing conditions every move.
Pre-order today to receive the package when you no longer remember you ordered it 📦
With these dates, more than one person will place their pre-order and receive the shipping notice when they have already forgotten it existed. German collectors fine-tune their spreadsheets while stores update deadlines with the serenity of those who know that the calendar is a suggestion. And you, meanwhile, can keep checking your email: perhaps by 2027 the Sailor Moon steelbook will arrive and, along the way, a surprise about who remembered which order.
