Out This Week: Hoppers, Arco and more
Welcome back to another edition of Out This Week. As summer arrives, we enter one of the quietest times of the year for new releases. And that's definitely true this week.
The two releases for the US this week are at least pretty big deals. Pixar's Hoppers is one of the biggest animated films of the year so far, and it arrives this week on 4K, Blu-Ray and DVD. Also out this week is the cult favourite Shojo classic Nana: The Complete Collection.
New in the UK this week is the digital release of the Oscar-nominated Arco. On Blu-Ray is new anime title When Will Ayumu Make His Move?

During his first flight in his rainbow suit, he goes off course, loses control, and lands in our near future. Iris, a little girl who’s the same age as Arco, sees him fall from the sky. She will do everything she possibly can to help him go back home."

When Will Ayumu Make His Move? (MVM Entertainment, 12) "Ayumu was a Kendo competitor in middle school, so everyone assumed that he'd join the Kendo club for his first year in high school. Instead, he becomes involved with an entirely different sort of activity with a Second-Year girl… an activity famous for becoming increasingly complex the longer it goes on! We're talking about Shogi, of course, the board game that's often referred to as Japanese chess. But the game itself soon becomes a problem, because while Ayumu finds himself increasingly attracted to Urushi, he's also sworn not to tell her until he's won a match against her… and Urushi's REALLY good at Shogi! So now they're stuck in a loop, caught up in ancient game that's far more complicated than chess… and also playing a lot of Shogi as well… wondering when will ayumu make his move?"
FORMATS: Blu-Ray

As their fates intertwine, they navigate blooming relationships and support one another in their struggles, but it’s only a matter of time until the harsh realities of life in metropolitan Tokyo threaten to tear apart everything they’ve built in the legendary shoujo series NANA."
