With Sentai Filmworks set to unleash K-ON! The Movie to North American audiences in May 2013, Aussie KON! fans might be wondering when we will see an Aussie release hit our shores.
Due to certain unspecified restrictions, it has been hinted that we may be waiting until July/August 2013 for the DVD and Blu-ray release although no release date has obviously set in stone yet. While there have been exceptions such as Hanabee Entertainment’s release of Bodacious Space Pirates that launched almost simultaneously with North America – this seems to be a standard gap of time between similar releases in the region.
Madman Entertainment have to date released the first season of K-ON! over four installments and later a complete collection on DVD and Blu-ray as well as the second season over two installments also on DVD and Blu-ray. The license of the film was confirmed by Madman Entertianment during their Brisbane Supanova 2012 panel alongside a number of other titles (See: Madman Entertainment Panel – A Number of Titles Announced at Supanova Brisbane 2012)
