updates from Tanuko

Tezuka set:

[Show spoiler]

We are thrilled to announce that the main production of Osamu Tezuka Anthology box set is almost complete. However, as mentioned during our last live session in December, an unexpected and exceptional element has extended the delivery timeline.

We can’t wait to reveal this surprise to you, but we need to wait a little longer before sharing it.

We are confident that this last-minute addition will bring immense value to this exceptional release and exceed your expectations. However, it does mean a delay in delivery: the box set, initially scheduled for January 30, will now arrive with an approximate six-week delay (this timeframe is indicative, and we are doing everything possible to minimize it).

Personal Touches:
Over the past few weeks, we’ve also been preparing all cards with handwritten messages to accompany each box set.
As for Golgo 13 - The Professional, one of our favorite artists, PANY, has created an exclusive new card for this box set, which we are thrilled to present to everyone.

Important for Combined Orders with Golgo 13 - The Professional:
For those who ordered the Golgo 13 - The Professional box set alongside the Tezuka box set, we are happy to confirm that the Golgo 13 box set will be shipped next week. A confirmation email will be sent at the beginning of the week with tracking details.

Thank you for your patience and support. We are working hard to deliver an experience that meets your expectations.

It does annoyingly use a broadcast/streaming master with epilepsy edits. Discotek's Blu-ray doesn't have this problem (though it does have a color space conversion error, but it is a veeeery minor inconvenience compared to epilepsy edits).

updates from Tanuko - email newsletter

Our team is currently in Tokyo for Anime Japan, a major event where we are holding back-to-back meetings with many partners. This trip is crucial for the future of Tanuko… and will bring some exciting surprises in the coming months!

That being said, this trip temporarily impacts our communication, and we apologize for any inconvenience. Everything will return to normal in early April.

⚠️ Delay in the Release of the Love Saves the Earth Box Set


We were supposed to receive the box set last week, but several unexpected issues have forced us to postpone its release:

A problem during the disc pressing was detected late in the process, requiring us to restart the production from scratch.

The exclusive bonus announced in January took longer than expected to be delivered to us. Included in the Tezukanimation book, it will add a unique and exclusive touch to this outstanding collector’s edition.


Production of the box set had already begun, as we announced in January, and these two elements will be produced quickly once the issues are resolved. We are eager to release this exceptional edition, the result of several years of work.


We truly appreciate your patience and understanding. 🙏


Rest assured, we are doing everything we can to keep you informed and deliver the best possible edition. At this time, we are not committing to a specific release date to avoid any disappointment or false hope. We know how much you are looking forward to this box set, and we owe you complete transparency.


We should be able to provide a release date within the next two weeks.

Aim for ace update

[Show spoiler]

The first elements of the box set have been sent for validation, and the project should move forward quickly!


We are still aiming for a release this summer!

I wonder when the love saves the earth box set will ship out

[MiaLeeSakura]

wow it's already been a month...

they might've mentioned something in the livestream but it's mostly in french so idk how to sift through that ^^; But I might see if I can glean anything with the auto subs and google TL ahaah

Also Macross II update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects.../posts/4370355

I know it's not anime specifically, but did anyone back the Tenchi Muyo!: American Omnibus Edition campaign on Kickstarter?

I didn't find it until yesterday, after it ended, so I missed out. If anyone for the hardcover editions and has extra copies and/or doesn't end up wanting theirs for some reason, I'd be interested in purchasing them!

New tezuka update:

they had a livestream earlier this month but once again in french and for some reason no VOD viewing but supposed to be upcoming. but here's the channel link for whenever they do that https://www.youtube.com/@Tanuko_eu/featured

✨ An exclusive gift for the first 150 orders! ✨

During our last livestream (which will be available to watch soon), we revealed a never-before-seen surprise: an exclusive A3 poster, limited to only 150 copies!


This limited edition is our way of thanking the early supporters of the Love Saves the Earth box set, those of you who backed the project during the crowdfunding campaign and later confirmed your orders on our website.

As a token of our gratitude for your trust and enthusiasm, we’re gifting you this unique collector’s item, a special piece straight from the world of Love Saves the Earth.

Our graphic designer just wrapped up the art book with the extra bonus, which is now heading into final approval before production begins.
And for those who couldn’t make it to the livestream, we absolutely had to share this exclusive poster with you.

Thank you again for your incredible support.
The journey is far from over, it’s only just beginning.

Tezuka update:

Dear all,

The Love Saves the Earth box set is finally entering its final stretch!
We have received very positive initial feedback from Japan regarding the exclusive book included in the box set. The previously unseen interview is present, and despite a few minor requested changes (which we will send them within two days), everything has been approved. Once these corrections are integrated, production of this final element can begin.

Next week, we will even be able to announce a reception date. To ensure everything is absolutely perfect, please find attached the acknowledgments list including the full names of all the people who pre-ordered this exceptional box set.

We kindly ask you to check the spelling of your name for the book entry. Deadline for verification: September 2, 2025
After this date, the book will go to print and no further changes will be possible.

Thank you again for your trust.
The Tanuko Team

You can now order your patch and standee and extra sets for Macross II from Animeigo.

[SteamfloggerBoss]

The patch is so good. I have all their patches and this might be my favorite. I of course bought one.

[Shirowed]

Do we know if there is a cut off to place an order for Macross II or Dagger of Kamui?
