Anime fans know the struggle of keeping up with so many shows and releases every month. North American fans are always wondering if their favorite show are going to get a home release in their country. With some retailers restricting releases of merchandise to only Japan, and more content becoming available to stream on popular sites like Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Hulu every month, anime home releases may seem like they are on the decline. But with enticing collectors editions of anime, and American companies buying rights for distribution, we have exciting new DVD/Blu-Ray releases every week.

So here are all of the anime releases DVD releases scheduled for America march 5-11:

  • Miss Hokusai

  • Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V Season 1 Complete

Notable mentions from the list are of course the spin off from the infamous franchise Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Miss Hokusai.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V is a spin off from the original series, that now has its' complete first season compiled. The new series is an amazing take on the classic card game, with an amazing story and brings a mix of original and new characters. If you are unfamiliar with the show, Crunchyroll summarizes it as the following:

"Yuya Sakaki's dream is to follow in his father's footsteps and become the greatest "duel-tainer" in history – and he just might pull it off when he suddenly discovers Pendulum Summoning, a never-before-seen technique that lets him summon many monsters at once! But when countless rivals emerge to steal his spotlight, Yuya needs to gear up his game because dueling has evolved into a non-stop world of action!"

Miss Hokusai is a beautiful slice of life feature film set in the 1800s. The story is beautiful, the art is mesmerising, and the light hearted music leaves you happy and warm. This movie is a tribute to Japanese art and paintings and leaves the audience appreciating it in a new light.

  • Bleach Volume:69
