Madman Entertainment has just revealed their list of anime releases scheduled for April 15, 2015. Here is the list in its entirety:
- Ben-To series collection – on DVD and Blu-ray with dual audio
- Dog & Scissors series collection – on DVD with dual audio
- KILL la KILL volume four – on DVD and Blu-ray with dual audio
- Log Horizon part two – on DVD and Blu-ray with dual audio
- Sailor Moon season one part one – on DVD with dual audio
- Sankarea: Undying Love complete collection – on DVD and Blu-ray with dual audio

- The Collected Works of Hayao Miyazaki – on DVD and Blu-ray with dual audio
- The Tale of the Princess Kaguya – on DVD and Blu-ray with dual audio
Madman has not yet confirmed if they will go through with their plan to release Sailor Moon on Blu-ray. The home-video release of Sankarea: Undying Love was delayed back in 2013. This was due to the discovery that FUNimation, the North American licensor and dubber of the anime, was given the censored television broadcast version instead of the unedited version released on home video in Japan. Initially, a replacement program was going to be made available for any customers who purchased the censored version. However, the home video release has been delayed for one-and-a-half years and only just been re-announced.
FUNimation also delayed the home video release of Ben-To due to discovering “inconsistencies associated with the materials used to create the release”. Initially set to be released several months ago, both FUNimation and Madman have delayed their releases of the series until now.
