MediaOCD announced on Wednesday a sales agreement with Aniplex of America to carry select anime on Blu-ray Disc through the MediaOCD online store. The first Aniplex of America titles listed are the Gurren Lagann television series and films and both seasons of Mashle: Magic and Muscles. The Gurren Lagann Complete Blu-ray Disc Box holds the 27-episode series, the films Gurren Lagann the Movie -Childhood's End- and Gurren Lagann the Movie -The Lights in the Sky Are Stars-, and two versions of episode 6. A separate Gurren Lagann the Movie 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray collects both films remastered in 4K for the films' 15th anniversary, with staff audio commentary, a leaflet, and the English dub. The Mashle boxes cover the first two seasons with mini-character stickers, a booklet, a soundtrack CD, and creditless opening and ending videos. Justin Sevakis, founder of MediaOCD, said the agreement keeps the titles available to fans and that more titles are planned. MediaOCD announced the deal from Los Angeles on October 6, 2026.
The two Mashle: Magic and Muscles boxes are the Season 1 Complete Blu-ray Disc Box and The Divine Visionary Candidate Exam Arc Complete Blu-ray Disc Box, covering episodes 1 through 12 and 13 through 24. Both include mini-character stickers, a special booklet, an original soundtrack CD, and creditless opening and ending videos; the first season box adds a U.S. Blu-ray coaster. The second season's creditless materials carry "Bling-Bang-Bang-Born" by Creepy Nuts. The A-1 Pictures anime is based on Hajime Komoto's manga in Weekly Shonen Jump. The first season premiered in April 2023 and the second in January 2024. The third season is set for January 2027.
The Gurren Lagann box carries artwork by mechanical designer You Yoshinari and holds seven Blu-ray discs. The 27-episode television series aired in 2007 and led to two films, two OVAs, several manga adaptations and spinoffs, and three stage plays. Childhood's End opened in September 2008, and The Lights in the Sky Are Stars opened in April 2009. The 4K release includes the English dub of both films, which debuted during the films' revival screenings in North America in 2024. Sevakis said MediaOCD plans to announce additional titles.
