Latest Japanese movies on Blu-ray and DVD
This is a list of the latest Japanese movies released on Blu-ray or DVD, with the main focus on North American, UK, Hong Kong, and Japanese releases. Any disc that doesn't explicitly list English subtitles can be assumed to be a Japanese-only release.
In general, most native releases of Japanese movies don't have English subtitles, but are released first (4-6 months after the theatrical release). Hong Kong releases follow a few months later and often have English subtitles. It usually takes anywhere from 6 months to a year beyond that for US and UK distributors to get around to putting out their releases. All in all, only a small percentage of Japanese movies ever see a release with English subtitles and many of those discs go out of print within a few years.
