In addition to the range of Rooster Teeth media and merchandise they offer, Hanabee Entertainment have continued to provide Australian and New Zealand anime fans with anime titles month-to-month. Although their monthly range may pale in number when compared against Madman Entertainment, with licenses such as Fate/stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works, Accel World and even niche titles like AKB0048, they have many interesting titles in their catalogue.
Hanabee will be doing their next monthly release of anime on October 13th 2016, with two series on offer. Like many of the company’s releases, despite each only having the original Japanese dub on-disc, both these titles are available on DVD and Blu-ray. You can read more about both of these below:
