Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun Headlines Madman Entertainment’s May 2021 Anime Line-Up

While Australian anime fans can log into the AnimeLab video-on-demand streaming service to get their daily anime fix, to some like myself, there is still nothing quite like having ownership of an anime on DVD or Blu-ray. Madman Entertainment are still publishing series to home video platforms in Australia and New Zealand, and while not available to pre-order just yet, have confirmed a tentative line-up of releases for May 2021.

May 2021 is headlined by home video releases of shows including 2020’s Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun, the second season of Kunosuba and Part 1 of A Certain Scientific Railgun T. Those who didn’t jump aboard the K-ON! bandwagon last decade can also look forward to being able to purchase the show’s “Ultimate Collection”.

A full list of shows planned to be available in 5 May 2021 are listed below:
