MediaOCD Adds Kyo Kara Maoh!, Nanoha, and Kashimashi to Discotek Deep Dives Project
MediaOCD, with an announcement that will delight classic anime fans, has added a number of new titles to its Discotek Deep Dives project. According to the announcement made on August 17, 2026, titles such as Kyo Kara Maoh!, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl, Ninja Scroll: The Series, Reborn!: Special Fan Disc, and City Hunter 3 will be re-released with restored or high-definition versions as part of the project.
These additions stand out as part of Discotek's mission to preserve nostalgic and lesser-known anime series and bring them to new generations of viewers. In particular, Kyo Kara Maoh! is known as a popular isekai-comedy series from the early 2000s, while Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is one of the beloved examples of the mahō shōjo genre. Kashimashi has also left its mark as a cult title in the yuri genre. MediaOCD's move offers a great opportunity for physical media collectors and fans of these works that are not available on digital platforms.
The Discotek Deep Dives project is an initiative launched in recent years that focuses particularly on anime classics from the '80s and '90s. With this project, the company is preparing high-quality transfers for both Blu-ray and digital platforms. While series like City Hunter 3 take their place in this project as one of the important representatives of the '80s action-comedy genre, Ninja Scroll: The Series stands out as the TV series sequel to the famous film of the same name. MediaOCD's extensive catalog seems likely to appeal to both old fans and new viewers interested in anime history.
This development shows that physical media still holds an important place in the anime industry. Despite the proliferation of digital platforms, the absence of older series from digital due to licensing issues or low demand poses challenges for collectors and archivists. Discotek's project aims to fill this gap. Furthermore, such restoration efforts are critical for ensuring that anime history is not forgotten and is passed on to future generations.
Fans are eagerly awaiting when these titles will go on sale and in which regions they will be distributed. With announcements to be made through MediaOCD's official channels, the scope of the project is expected to expand even further. In the coming months, these classics taking their place on shelves in restored form heralds an exciting period for the anime community.
