The recent Dragon Ball movie proved to westerns mainstream cinema buffs that anime is here to stay. A box office hit, it paved the way for more movies to cross the Pacific and reach North American (and European) audiences. And with so many anime coming out each season, it’s difficult to keep track of what’s on. MT wants you to be in-the-know of all the new anime movies and OVAs that will screen in Japanese cinemas, the Blu-rays and DVDs, and all the extra episodes in manga and light novel bundles. We have also included series that stream in their entirety online.
Don’t forget to check our seasonal Anime Hashtags list, our Season Chart, and our weekly reviews for the new season. Couple these with the latest anime and otaku news, and you have everything you need for an amazing spring season!
If you want to purchase any of the Blu-ray/DVD or manga/light novels, you can always use Otsukai, MT’s new proxy buying service. It’s a cool way to get items that one can only find in Japan. Check it out here or click the banner below:
