We had our first blush look at some titles that Funimation will be bringing out for the May 2019 release month but now they’ve updated in full with a whole lot of anime goodness. Their partnership with Crunchyroll will be continuing on for some time with shared licenses on the home video front and this month has two back half releases and two new single-season releases.

On Funimation’s main side, they’ve got a number of Essential releases landing at great prices to help bolster collections while also getting the third season of My Hero ACademia underway. We also get the Tokyo Ghoul:re anime series underway and the start of Kakuriyo among others.
