GKIDS lists Hideaki Anno's Love & Pop Blu-ray for October 6

The GKIDS Store is taking preorders for the Region A/1 edition of Anno's 1998 live-action film, with an October 6 shipping date.

Hideaki Anno's 1998 live-action feature Love & Pop is listed for an October 6, 2026 Blu-ray shipment from the GKIDS Store. This is a preorder shipping date, not a claim that the disc is already on shelves. The store labels the disc Region A/1 , with Japanese audio and English subtitles; importers outside that region

should check player compatibility before ordering. Adapted from Ryū Murakami's novel, the film follows Tokyo schoolgirl Hiromi over a summer day. Its handheld digital photography and unusual camera angles make this a particularly distinctive Anno release for film collectors. GKIDS lists a 110-minute runtime and 1.33:1

aspect ratio. The listed extras include a feature on Anno and the film, a deleted scene, television spots, teasers, trailers and a booklet. Check the product page for the current price and shipping territories; those details may change before dispatch. Headline image: official Blu-ray package image, courtesy of GKIDS.
