Crunchyroll - Crunchyroll and VIZ Media to Bring BURN THE WITCH, Tower of God, JUJUTSU KAISEN, and More to Home Video

In partnership with VIZ Media, Crunchyroll is getting ready to bring more hit anime series, including some Crunchyroll Originals, to home video. The latest titles that will be available on Blu-ray and via digital download include BURN THE WITCH, In/Spectre, JUJUTSU KAISEN, The God of High School, and Tower of God.

All of the titles will be available both subtitled and dubbed to fans in the United States and Canada. Read more about each below, and stay tuned for additional details.

Synopsis:

A boy fights... for “the right death.”

Hardship, regret, shame: the negative feelings that humans feel become Curses that lurk in our everyday lives. The Curses run rampant throughout the world, capable of leading people to terrible misfortune and even death. What’s more, the Curses can only be exorcised by another Curse.

Yuji Itadori is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high school life. One day, to save a classmate who has been attacked by Curses, he eats the finger of the Double-Faced Specter, taking the Curse into his own soul. From then on, he shares one body with the Double-Faced Specter. Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Satoru Gojo, Itadori is admitted to the Tokyo Jujutsu High School, an organization that fights the Curses... and thus begins the heroic tale of a boy who became a Curse to exorcise a Curse, a life from which he could never turn back.

This applies to all five titles in this announcement, but... weird. The Crunchyroll/Viz partnership finally materializes after Crunchyroll went back to Discotek for some titles, Sentai for others, and is in the (potentially blocked) process of being acquired by Funimation, who would be reasonably expected to return to releasing their titles after that's completed. I guess Crunchyroll has formed enough home video partnerships at this point that it's basically just like anyone's titles streaming on Crunchyroll; anyone can also release their titles.

And thus, Funimation begins doing things their way now that they own Crunchyroll. The next step should be to get this show on Toonami seeing that this is a perfect fit for the block.

have there been any whispers on when this will get a BD release yet?

Who knows. Viz Media takes literally years to release something on BD.

We probably won't hear anything until it's solicited. It will be interesting to see if they will release it in 1 set or 2 sets.

I looked into this. Apparently, a random Japanese news site reporting on JJK0 box office numbers casually mentioned that the film would open in Korea and the US in February. It may be real information that they accidentally revealed early or it may be bogus. Either way, it’s unconfirmed.

Thanks, going to guess it is not going to come February unless its like the very end of the month and they will do wild marketing for it starting this week or something.
