December Anime Release Schedule
Here’s our December anime release schedule guide! Because there are just some series that you want to own physically, and watch with extra nice features and visuals. This month is a great month for throwback anime releases.
Looking for other December release schedules?
Japanese Games | Manga | Light Novels
These are based on the UK release dates! Some of these are the result of slips from planned earlier releases (hey, it happens), but these shouldn’t slip too much again. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time super duper nice edition should hopefully actually release this month! Maybe.

There’s some great new releases — it’s great to see Ajin and Gangsta in there especially — but this month is really tickling some nostalgia for me. Not only are the Dragon Ball Z Movie Collections still going with volume 3 (I love the Cooler movies), but Digimon Adventure Tri Part 3 is also dropping, which is a wonderful throwback to the original Digimon anime, but brand new. And Transformers‘ 30th Anniversary edition is also on the way!
The Hosoda Collections were set back a little bit, and the The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is a particular favourite of mine, so don’t miss it! It’d also make a great Christmas gift too. A great Christmas gift for me. Please?
Are you buying anything this month?

Reactions:
I used to watch Digimon Adventure after school, so I love these new movies!
Hosoda worked on Digimon the Movie… And Digimon Adventure Tri is out this month. Coincidence? Yes.
Today I will earnestly plead for you to watch Gangsta. RIP a second season. THEN READ THE MANGA. (҂⌣̀_⌣́)
Ronja, The Robber’s Daughter is incredible! If you like Studio Ghibli, watch this one! (*＾-‘) 乃
