**What’s Happening with Crunchyroll’s ‘Gundam’ Related Blu-ray Restocks?**
A recent Redditor post raised concerns about the restocking of certain Blu-rays on Crunchyroll, specifically regarding Gundam-related titles. I reached out to the company to get more information and insights.
To set the stage, Crunchyroll absorbed RightStuf in October 2023, which included their massive Blu-ray catalogue. This led to the release of new Blu-ray titles for newer Gundam shows like Witch from Mercury. However, it seems that the initial customer service response regarding restocking older Blu-ray releases was somewhat bleak.
Fortunately, Crunchyroll has since provided a more hopeful update. In a statement, they acknowledged that they are currently out of stock on some select titles and are evaluating how to replenish them in the future. While no specific timeline or plans were shared for Mobile Suit Gundam Blu-rays, it’s clear that the company is committed to producing award-winning home entertainment and collectible packages.
While this news is a positive step forward, I do have some concerns regarding Crunchyroll’s supply chain issues and potential difficulties in meeting increasing fan demand for Blu-rays of popular anime. In light of recent announcements from Sony, the parent company of Crunchyroll, stating their intent to cease Blu-ray production, it’s crucial that Crunchyroll can adapt and find alternative solutions.
As an avid fan of Gundam and anime collectibles, I hope to see a positive resolution to this situation.
