Following last weekend's Project A-Kon event in Fort Worth, Texas, Discotek took to social media with their September anime release plans, including more Project A-ko action comedy anime (the 1987, 1988 and 1989 movie sequels). Along with this was the 2006 TV anime adaptation of Navel's visual novel eroge Soul Link.
Project A-ko 2 on DVD
Three weeks have gone by since the alien spaceship crash landed on the Graviton City spire, and since then the aliens have been hard at work converting their ship to a pleasure district, hoping to make friends with the humans! ...Not. Perpetually late and continually over-eating A-ko, spacy and cheerful C-ko, and brilliant and bold B-ko are about to enter summer break from school, and it just so happens the aliens' ship is open for business. When a free meal turns into a sob story about how the aliens just want to go home, will it be A-ko or B-ko who can get the ship into orbit again? More importantly, which one of the two will win C-ko's affections? Giant mecha, superheroes, and battle bikinis abound in this second installment of the parody-tastic Project A-ko! Japanese language with English subtitles, and the original English dub!
Project A-ko movie 3 coming to DVD September 26th
Spring is in the air, and that means love is sure to follow. Or at least, overpowered redhead A-Ko really hopes it does! While out shopping for the perfect dress, A-Ko gets into an argument with normally carefree C-Ko, who's more interested in having fun than having a boyfriend. When C-Ko runs away, she's nearly hit by handsome hunk and motorcyclist Kei, who in turn is hit by a panicking A-Ko rushing after her friend. Left with only a glass slipper earring to remember "her" by, when A-Ko and Kei meet again at A-Ko's part-time job, the passion of youth is sure to bloom! Or will it? Throw in conniving B-Ko's plans to ruin anything good for A-Ko, a petulent C-Ko, and a whole mess of mecha, and you've got yourself a Cinderella Rhapsody! Japanese language with English subtitles, and the original English dub.
Project A-ko movie 4 coming to DVD September 26th
On a quiet day at Graviton High, while the kicks are fast and the missile barrages are booming, Miss Ayumi ponders just where her life is leading. Meanwhile, out in the deserts of Iraq, scientists have unearthed a strange artifact bearing a symbol just like the one on Miss Ayumi's pendant. Strange things begin to occur, and the strangest of all is Miss Ayumi agreeing to an arranged marriage. With handsome hunk Kei, of all people! Still carrying a torch for the dashing young man, A-Ko and B-Ko take their fight to the school's gym-turned-wedding chapel, even as a massive fleet of aliens bears down upon the Earth. As the mecha are mobilized and missiles start to fly, C-Ko wonders to herself, where does she belong in all of this? It's the final chapter of Project A-Ko, and it won't go out without a bang! Japanese language with English subtitles, and the original English dub.
Soul Link coming to DVD September 26th
The happy reunion between siblings, friends, and lovers aboard the space station Aries is short-lived, as a group of heavily-armed terror- ists invades. A majority of crew members and tourists evacuates, leav- ing a small group of fresh-faced military cadets, their tough-as-nails commander, and a resourceful young of cer to survive while trying to keep the terrorists from bombarding Earth with nuclear weapons. Soon, though, both cadets and terrorists realize there’s a bigger threat in their midst, in the form of a traitor with a bioengineered virus. Making matters worse, the genius of cer is taken prisoner, leaving his comparatively av- erage younger brother to lead the underdog effort.

Crusher Joe OVA series coming to DVD September 26th
In the 22nd century, mankind has expanded into outer space. However, it was the Crushers who paved the way, performing jobs that ranged from terraforming to asteroid busting, warp lane plotting to transportation. These days, the Crushers still accept jobs of all kinds, so long as they're legal and ethical, and Crusher Joe's team is the best in the business! In this set of two OVAs, Joe, Alfin, Ricky, and Talos, along with the robot Dongo, take on jobs that require all the tools, tricks, and knowledge that the Crushers are known for. Of course, no job ever goes as expected. Whether it's rescuing prisoners trapped on an icy asteroid in a decaying orbit, or extracting a military officer charged with the safe keeping of a weapon of mass destruction from the clutches of insurrectionists, it's all part of the job to a Crusher, and that's before the mission goes sideways! Japanese language with English subtitles, and the original English dub!
