Anime/Manga The Kirby anime is arriving on Blu-ray!... but why is it taking so long?

[FirePuppy]

I am excited about the Kirby anime finally arriving on Blu-ray Disc in "Winter 2022". I thought this anime was doomed to be banned worldwide for a long time, but as it turned out, that's not the case anymore.

The only issue I'm noticing is that as of three months after the Blu-ray was annoucned, there's still no price for it! We're also only one month away from winter, and still nothing as of this. What's happening?

I thought this anime was doomed to be banned worldwide for a long time,

Curiously why did you think this? Did something happen with it that I didn't know about? @_@

Here's the source I found from it:

By the way, in reply to your message here, back in 2020, Nintendo took down a bunch of Kirby anime videos from YouTube without notice, with no apparent plans to re-release the anime at the time.

I'll buy it but only if it also comes out in the U.S. with an english dub audio option

I'm also concerned about the massive huge price it's going to get, based on prices of other anime on Blu-ray. I'm considering to just have someone else, like a hardcore Kirby fan, buy it and get it on the Internet Archive.
