Pop was Hideaki Anno&#8217;s first commercial live-action movie in the late &#8217;90s. Linda Linda Linda was first remastered in 4K UHD for its 20th anniversary last year. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This collector&#8217;s edition is the first time Look Back, which came out in 2024, will be available on Blu-ray in the West. The Tatsuki Fujimoto adaptation was released on Blu-ray in Japan earlier this year, and some Reddit users have already noticed that this new GKIDS edition will feature the same art and packaging design. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">GKIDS, which debuted its first exclusive home video release in 2022, has also been making moves beyond the physical media space. The distributor signed a deal with HBO Max last Fall which gave the Warner Bros.-owned service the streaming rights to 20 &#8220;adult-oriented&#8221; films, including Love &amp; Pop and Angel\u2019s Egg. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Blythe (she\/her) is an Audience Development Coordinator at IGN who spends way too much time in character customization screens and tracking down collectibles. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/gkids-anime-expo-2026-4k-blu-ray-announcements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media distributor GKIDS announced four new home video releases &#8220;built specifically for collectors&#8221; during its 2026 Anime Expo panel.
