It was just last week that Manga Entertainment announced that they would be bringing the first of the Digimon Adventure tri movies to the UK on blu-ray, and they have now announced they are to be releasing Pokémon movie 18, Hoopa and the Clash of Ages, and the first three movies to blu-ray in Q4. Here at Japan Curiosity, we’re eagerly anticipating these releases. Manga’s press release can be seen below.
Pokémon: Hoopa and the Clash of Ages will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on October 24th.
The second release, coming on November 14th, will feature the first three movies as a trilogy and be released on DVD and limited edition Blu-ray Steelbook.
“We are incredibly proud and excited to announce the release of the first three Pokémon movies on limited edition Blu-ray steelbook. We pride ourselves on being the home of classic and perennial franchises and this is a great addition to the family. With the success of Pokémon Go this is the perfect time to be releasing the movies, especially as this is the first time fans can get them on Blu-ray!” – Marketing Manager, Andrew Hewson
