Funimation UK Unveils Home Video Lineup for Q2 2022, Featuring Black Clover Season 4, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, HINAMATSURI, One Piece Film GOLD, and More

A month after the distributor had revealed their first quarter of 2022 line-up, Funimation UK have announced their home video release plans for the second quarter of 2022 for the United Kingdom and Ireland territories.

This batch features mostly shonen-related shows with a few re-releases and a couple catalog additions to the mix, and a few limited edition releases.

Some finalised artwork has been revealed for the UK releases, but others posted below are from the Funimation US version, though the final product tends to be the same but with BBFC logos. Slipcases may not be included for many of these titles.

A bonus addition to the first quarter of 2022’s line-up is One Piece Film: GOLD from director Hiroaki Miyamoto, the 13th One Piece film released in 2016 (after Film: Z and before Stampede). It will be available on standard Blu-ray (£19.99 SRP) and standard DVD (£14.99 SRP).
