Out This Week: Dan Da Dan, My Hero Academia, Renaissance Paris 2054 and More
Welcome back once again to yet another edition of Out This Week. As the festive period approaches, animated releases continue to slow down. Case in point: this week, where Stateside only three titles are released (all anime). They are: Akiba Maid War in a fancy new Steelbook edition, My Hero Acdemia Season seven part two and That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime Season three, part two.
Things are (slightly) more lively in the UK, where new releases include Dan Da Dan, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Part two, Level One Demon Lord and One Room Hero and Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets The Wise Wolf. Also released as a limited edition Zavvi exclusive, is 2006's rotoscoped sci-fi Renaissance: Paris 2054.
All information correct to the best of our knowledge and is subject to change.

Level 1 Demon Lord & One Room Hero (MVM Entertainment, 15) "Ten years ago, Max struck the final blow against the Demon Lord, but now he's out of shape, out of cash, and completely out of the public eye. Except for the eyes of the resurrected Demon Lord, who desperately wants to stage a rematch! Unfortunately, the facts that the Demon Lord is now physically ten years old, that Max has no interest in fighting, and that the Demon Lord's secretary Zenia is totally against the idea are just a few of the “minor” problems that will have to be addressed when the Demon Lord moves in to “fix” up his former foe!"
FORMATS: Blu-Ray
Renaissance: Paris 2054 4K (Screenbound Pictures, 15) "In 2054, Paris is a labyrinth where all movement is monitored and recorded. Cut off from the world for its own protection, the city has nonetheless continued to expand. Now, 21st century skyscrapers overlay centuries-old architectural masterpieces. And below street level, a sophisticated network of streamlined plazas push up against the city's ancient, deteriorating tunnel systems. Casting a shadow over everything is the city's largest company, Avalon, which insinuates itself into every aspect of contemporary life to sell its primary export--eternal youth and beauty. When 22-year-old Ilona (Romola Garai), one of Avalon's most promising scientists, is abruptly kidnapped, Avalon calls on Barthélémy Karas, a Paris cop with a hard-fought reputation for finding anyone, no matterwhat sacrifices he has to make along the way. As the trail gets hot, Karas senses he's not the only one looking for thebeautiful enigma, and every witness he digs up seems to turn up dead. To find Ilona and unlock the secrets of her disappearance, Karas must plunge deep into the parallel worlds of corporate espionage, organized crime and genetic research where the truth imprisons whoever finds it first and miracles can either save the world, or end it."

US Releases For November 18, 2025
Akiba Maid War (Sentai Filmworks, TV-MA) "In an alternate past, the otaku paradise of Akihabara was an unsavory hive of scum and villainy. One thing, however, is sort of the same: Maid Cafés! Except maids are the enforcers and assassins for corporate corruption… which is unfortunate for new maid Nagomi, who was too blinded by the cutesy uniforms and clever waitressing tricks to understand the darker reality of the maid business until she’d already joined the seemingly sweet Oinky Doink Café with Ranko Mannen. Now that’s not ketchup on table 5 as the carnage erupts in Akiba Maid War!"
