Out This Week : Godzilla Vs Kong, Advent Children, Phantasy Star Online 2 Episode Oracle and More

June 14, 2021 ,

Tradition says that home entertainment releases slow down for the summer months, but nobody seems to have told this week's list that. In a surprisingly packed week Legendary's Kaiju smackdown Godzilla Vs Kong (a live-action film but it centres on two animated characters so we're including it) stomps onto home video this week on both sides of the Atlantic. UK readers also get the chance to pick up video game based anime with Persona 5 continuing and Final Fantasy spin-off Advent Children making the jump to 4K. US collectors can grow their shonen collections with new releases from Naruto and One Piece. Fans who like their anime with a heavy dose of sauce might be tempted by this week's releases of Queen's Blade and To Love Ru Darkness.
