Out This Week: Attack On Titan The Final Season, Onyx Equinox, Sonic The Hedgehog and More

February 21, 2022 ,


There is nostalgia of many different stripes available in this week's new home entertainment releases. Whether that's classic Disney in the new Anniversary edition Blu-Ray of The Jungle Book. Or old-school video game based fun in the Blu-Ray debut of the complete Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog (the syndicated series, not to be confused with Sonic Saturday AM).  Or retro anime with Galactic Gale Baxingar or the controversial 90s OAV Angel Cop.

For something a little more up to date, this week also sees the Blu-Ray debut of Attack On Titan: The Final Season Part One and Crunchyroll's Meso-American inspired original Onyx Equinox. In The UK this week, there is a full season collection of My Hero Academia's Fourth Season and new standard editions of cult faves Bartender and Future Diary.


 
In this week's deals section, look out for some big Studio Ghibli savings on Amazon UK.

However, Eden Hall isn’t the kind of establishment that just anyone can wander into - instead, it plays home exclusively to those whose lives are plagued with problems and find themselves searching for solace and guidance. Once you find your way to the bar, Ryuu’s expertise will find the perfect cocktail to soothe your soul and provide exactly what you need to console and assist you.
