The Story So Far
AnimEigo made known during its Otakon 2026 panel on Friday that it has licensed the following titles: AnimEigo will arrival the 12-installment Antique Bakery Japanese animation series on Blu-ray Disc in 2027. The Japanese animation adaptation of Fumi Yoshinaga's 1999 Japanese comic of the same title made its launch in 2008. Digital Manga Publishing published the manga in English and describes the first volume: Ono has come a long way since the agonizing day in high school when he confessed his love to handsome Tachibana.
Now, some 14 years later Ono, a world-class pastry chef and outed playboy has it all. No man can resist Ono's charms (or his cooking skills!) but he has just found a brand-fresh position under a man named Tachibana. Can this be the only man who resisted his charms, and if so, will the man who once snubbed the "magically gay" Ono get his just desserts?
And how in the heck did a former middleweight boxing champion wind up as Ono's cake boy? Right Stuf / Nozomi Entertainment previously unveiled the Japanese animation on DVD in 2011 and 2014. AnimEigo will arrival Dog of Flanders: the movie in late 2027 on Blu-ray Disc, and the 4K restoration will feature the uncut original, as well as the edited Pioneer English dubbed version that headlines Robert Loggia as Grandpa Jehan Daas.
The 4K restoration will be available for both versions. Dog of Flanders: the movie is a 1997 reimagining of the evergreen 1975 Japanese animation series about the bond between a boy and his faithful dog living in a 19thcentury Flanders village near Antwerp in the Netherlands. The emotional narrative shows the boy's struggles in life and his hopes of becoming a great classical painter.
Geneon Entertainment previously unveiled the movie on DVD in 2000. The Japanese animation series and movie are based on the 1872 novel A Dog of Flanders by Marie Louisa De La Ramée (pen name: Ouida). AnimEigo will arrival the 13-installment television series and four-installment OVA of the Japanese animation adaptation of Yayoiso's ReLIFE Japanese comic in a brand-fresh comprehensive edition that will include the subtitled and dubbed versions.
ReLIFE is a 2016 comedy series about Arata Kaizaki, a 27-year-old unemployed man who inks on an experiment rehabilitation program for shut-ins. He takes a exclusive drug to look 10 years younger and makes a comeback to high school for one year to fix his life. The original run of the Japanese animation made its launch in its entirety on the Comico app in June 2016.
The Japanese animation began its television broadcast in Japan the following month, and Crunchyroll streamed the full anime with English subtitles on the same day. Funimation then offered the episodes with an English dub. The Japanese animation's four-installment finale shipped on Blu-ray Disc and DVD in Japan in 2018, and also streamed on Amazon Prime.
AnimEigo will arrival the Ruin Explorers – Fam & Ihrie four-part OVA on Blu-ray Disc with an HD restoration in 2027.
