Okay, let's talk about something near and dear to my anime-loving heart. It's about My Hero Academia: World Heroes' Mission!
More specifically? Where's the darn DVD release date in the USA?!
The Great DVD Waiting Game
Seriously, it feels like we've been waiting longer than it takes Deku to perfect One For All.
I know, I know, streaming is a thing. But hear me out!
I have a confession: I'm old school. I like owning physical copies. Judge me if you must.
My Unpopular Opinion (Maybe?)
Here's the thing, streaming services remove shows. Sometimes without warning! I want my World Heroes' Mission goodness available whenever *I* want it. No internet required.
Plus, there's something awesome about having the box on your shelf. You can admire the artwork! Maybe even re-watch the special features.
Who doesn't love bonus content?!
Let's be real, collecting is half the fun. It's like saying, "Hey world, I have impeccable taste in anime!"
The Mystery Deepens
We've seen the movie in theaters (multiple times, perhaps). We’ve (probably) streamed it.
Yet, the DVD release date remains a mystery. It’s like a villain’s meticulously planned secret identity!
I've checked all the usual suspects. Amazon, Crunchyroll's store, even my local comic shop. Nothing!
Are they deliberately trying to torture us? Is this some kind of twisted test of our fandom?
I'm starting to feel like All Might facing down All For One... except my enemy is the ambiguous world of home video release schedules.
What Could Be Taking So Long?
Maybe it's licensing issues? Perhaps the special features are taking longer to produce?.
Maybe they're waiting for a special collector's edition with exclusive figures. Oh, please let that be it!
The possibilities are endless...and endlessly frustrating.
My Plea to the Anime Gods
Oh, Funimation (or Crunchyroll, whoever is in charge now), hear my desperate plea! Grant us the World Heroes' Mission DVD release date!
I promise I'll buy it. I’ll probably buy two! One to watch and one to keep in pristine condition.
I'll even write a haiku about how amazing it is. Seriously, I will!
I know, I'm being dramatic. But a true fan's gotta do what a true fan's gotta do.
So, to anyone else out there waiting with bated breath: You are not alone. We are in this together.
Let’s hope the DVD release date announcement arrives soon!
Until then, I’ll just keep re-watching the trailers on YouTube. It’s not the same, but it's something.
Fingers crossed for a release date sooner rather than later!
And maybe, just maybe, a special edition with a tiny Rody Soul figure. One can dream, right?
Please, anime distributors, think of the completionists! Think of the shelves that need filling! Think of the haikus waiting to be written! The world needs this DVD!
