While there isn’t much new in the way of anime this month from Australian anime publisher Hanabee Entertainment, the company are revisiting several titles from their back-catalogue and giving them a chance to shine.
Following their website running out of DVD stock for both Inu x Boku SS and BTOOOM!, it seems like they have decided to respond by offering new DVD + Blu-ray combo sets for both titles. This is in addition to a boxset for Hakkenden -Eight Dogs of the East- and a Blu-ray set containing the Red vs Blue: The Chorus Trilogy.
All four sets will be available in Australia and New Zealand starting July 14th 2016. You can read more about each title below:

Be careful what you wish for. Ryouta Sakamoto has suddenly gone from playing his favourite online game to becoming a real life player in it. Left on a mysterious island with a set of provisions, a bag of bombs and a strange crystal embedded into his left hand – this is the world of BTOOOM realized. Beautifully replicated, this game of BTOOM is an all out dog eat dog world, where to escape you will need to kill seven others before they kill you.

For more than a decade, the hapless, helpless anti-heroes of Blood Gulch – the Reds and Blues – have fumbled their way from one adventure to another. They’ve survived bloodthirsty bounty hunters, evil AI fragments, and taken down some seriously strange military organizations. You’d almost think they knew what they were doing… almost.
The Chorus Trilogy is a new chapter in the Red vs. Blue saga, and what starts with a simple shipwreck quickly evolves into one of the greatest adventures the galaxy has ever seen. Between comedy, drama, and over-the-top action, The Chorus Trilogy box set is bursting at the seams with RvB goodness.
The Reds and Blues are in for the fight of their lives. What do you fight for?
