Discotek Media has announced its June batch of Blu-ray releases. They are: Bohachi Bushido: The Villain (1974), Project A-ko 4: Final (1989), Mazinkaiser VS Great General of Darkness (2003), Lupin III: Angel Tactics (2005), and Medabots (1999-2000).
Bohachi Bushido: The Villain
Official description: Life is hell. death is hell, too. In Edo, Japan, life could be hell on Earth and there are no heroes, just an amoral wandering samurai who becomes an assassin for a group of sex traffickers after they save his life.
Debauchery, treachery, and corruption are on full display, while local politics degenerate into bloodbaths. The samurai, Kyushi, leans that nothing is forbidden in this world except love...
This is the second Bohachi Bushido film with a new cast, but with the same sleaze and wild ultra-violence! In the original Japanese language with English subtitles, on Blu-ray for the first time anywhere!
Technical Specs:
Lupin III: Angel Tactics
Official description: From Heaven or Hell? These Angels Are After Lupin's Blood. Even with the help of his new partner Emily, Inspector Zenigata can't stop his rival Lupin from swiping the Original Metal from Area 51. Our agile antihero plans to turn the Metal—an orb said to have come from outer space—into a ring. But when Goemon tries to slice it, he discovers that his almighty sword can't make a dent. After Goemon leaves on a journey of training, the Lupin Gang boys each have an encounter with a mysterious woman. But these women reveal themselves… to be specialized assassins! The Bloody Angels are hell-bent on taking down the United States and would love to have the Original Metal to help them do it.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Project A-ko 4: Final
Official description: 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!
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Medabots
Official description: Medabots First Series contains episodes 1-52 of the Japanese language episodes directed by Tensai Okamura in standard definition on a Blu-ray disc.
In the near future, humans and robots coexist. "Robattles," a competition in which Medabots are pitted against each other, is popular among kids. A Medabot's consciousness, effectively its brains, is located in a Medal that can be inserted into and ejected from the robot body. By chance, nine-year-old Ikki finds a Rare Medal, and soon after has his own Medabot named Metabee. This is the story of their friendship and growth as they use wisdom and courage to fight countless opponents in robot battles.
Technical Specs:
Mazinkaiser VS Great General of Darkness

The Mazinger Army falls before the seven generals under him, each of them leading an army of superior Warrior Beasts. Meanwhile, Archduke Gorgon is relentlessly pursuing Koji Kabuto, trying to eliminate him before he can reach Mazinkaiser. But a red light in the sky over Mt. Fuji portends the greatest battle in history!
