Discotek Media is an American entertainment company based in Altamonte Springs, Florida, focused on distribution and licensing Japanese anime, films, and television series.[1]

History

Formed in 2005,[1] Discotek primarily focuses on licensing retro titles from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, a lot of them "license rescued" from other companies such as Funimation, Viz Media, ADV Films, Bandai Entertainment, Geneon, Manga Entertainment, etc. Their licenses include most of the Lupin the Third franchise (including the Hayao Miyazaki film The Castle of Cagliostro), the first two seasons and three films of Digimon, Fist of the North Star, Sonic X, Hajime no Ippo, Urusei Yatsura, Galaxy Express 999, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, and the 1997 Berserk series, as well as OVAs such as Giant Robo and Gunbuster and films such as Memories and Project A-ko. The company has also acquired several recent titles and has collaborated with streaming service Crunchyroll on several releases including KonoSuba, Kemono Friends, and 5 Centimeters per Second.

Discotek Media announced a new sub-label as a return to live-action films known as Nihon Nights, which started in 2022 with the 2000 film Uzumaki's Blu-ray release. They also announced another sub-label for Tokusatsu series and films known as Toku Time and it started that same year with Space Sheriff Gavan.

The company is notable for being a major adopter of the SD Blu-ray format, using it to release anime that do not have HD masters available.[2]
