While far from the cornucopia of anime DVD and Blu-ray releases they were offering audiences just a few years ago before the age of streaming was upon us, Sentai are still pushing forward with a release of four home video releases in North America during the month of April 2025. With all four available exclusively on Blu-ray, scroll down to see if there are any that catch your eye, and may soon see a spot on your shelf:
Princess Principal: Crown Handler Part 3
Run Time: 55 Minutes
Street Date: 8 April 2025
Language: English and Japanese voice overs
SRP: $29.98
Who’s in the box at the Royal Funeral? Sadly, it’s Prince Edward, and that leaves Princess Mary and Prince Richard as the next two heirs in the line of succession. Which, since the Duke was responsible for Edward’s assassination, means that Mary’s time as an heir to the throne may be cut unpleasantly short. Team White Pigeon is about to swoop in, but even with Ange and Dorothy disguised as maids, can they possibly clean up all the treachery and political corruption before the Duke’s diabolical plans come to fruition in PRINCESS PRINCIPAL: CROWN HANDLER – PART 3?!
Legends of the Dark King: A Fist of the North Star Story
Run Time: 325 Minutes

Much has been written about the legendary Fist of the North Star. Yet before Ken claimed that title, there was another master, one of four adopted brothers trained in the art of the Divine Fist. This is the story of Raoh, Ken’s elder brother, who claimed the title King Of The Fist and set forth to conquer the brutal world of the post-apocalypse. Unlike Ken, however, Raoh was no hero. Instead, his journey is one of savagery and conquest, for Raoh, the only purpose of other men is to serve his will and witness the Legends of the Dark King!
Armed Girl’s Machiavellism
Run Time: 325 Minutes
Street Date: 22 April 2025
Language: English and Japanese voice overs
SRP: $69.98
When the students at Aichi Coexistence Academy learned that their school was being converted from all-girls to coed, some of the feistier young ladies MAY have overreacted a bit by arming themselves with sharp implements and forcing the boys to dress and act like girls! Unfortunately, that new dress code sounds like a drag to new transfer student Fudo Nomura, and he just might have the martial arts chops needed to take on the lovely but lethal Supreme Five Swords who now rule the school! The term cutting class will be completely redefined as the battle of the sexes becomes quite literal in Armed Girl’s Machiavellism!
Urusei Yatsura Season 3 and 4
Run Time: 575 Minutes
Street Date: 29 April 2025
Language: Japanese with English Subtitles
SRP: $79.98
If drooling womanizer Ataru Moroboshi thought his life became complicated when he defeated bikini-clad alien invader Lum and she decided to move in, our human fool hasn’t seen anything yet! Wish-granting bubble gum? Body swapping and time travel? Lum turning into a cow??? In fact, as the third and fourth seasons of Rumiko Takahashi’s remade hit series continues to pile absurd adventure upon absurd adventure, the one thing that becomes clear is that our universe is not just much stranger (and funnier) than we imagine it is, it is, in fact, much stranger (and funnier) than we CAN imagine in URUSEI YATURA Seasons 3 & 4!
