Discotek Media Unveils Project A-ko Perfect Collection 4K

Discotek Media has officially announced the highly anticipated Project A-ko Perfect Collection 4K, a definitive box set aimed at classic anime enthusiasts. This collection brings together the original 1986 Project A-ko film and its three direct sequels: Project A-ko 2: Plot of the Daitokuji Financial Group, Project A-ko 3: Cinderella Rhapsody, and Project A-ko 4: Final. The announcement was made on November 11, 2025.

The centerpiece of this release is the debut of the groundbreaking 1986 original feature film in magnificent 4K resolution. This visual enhancement utilizes a high-quality film scan that was initially prepared for Discotek’s 2021 Blu-ray release, promising exceptional clarity for this beloved cult classic.

Comprehensive Viewing Experience and Accessibility

To ensure maximum accessibility for viewers, the main film includes both English subtitles and a complete English dub track. Furthermore, the three sequel films will also feature both language options, providing a consistent viewing experience across the entire saga.

While the sequels will be presented in their existing 1080p high-definition formats, the Perfect Collection 4K represents the most comprehensive and visually superior presentation of the entire Project A-ko franchise ever released.

Extensive Supplemental Materials

Beyond the films themselves, Discotek has included a substantial amount of supplemental material for dedicated enthusiasts. The collection meticulously compiles nearly every special feature from their previous individual releases, ensuring a rich historical context for the series.

These bonus features include engaging audio commentary tracks, detailed storyboards, a music documentary, the revealing Project A-ko Secret File documentary, various trailers, teasers, television commercials, informative liner notes, and extensive production galleries. To optimize the set's flow and presentation, redundant materials, such as repeated VHS credits and duplicate bonus features, have been strategically omitted.

This release marks a significant moment for the anime community. It offers a convenient, upgraded option for fans who previously purchased the individual Blu-ray releases (which spanned from December 2021 to June 2023) and serves as the ultimate gateway for newcomers into this influential sci-fi action-comedy franchise. Anticipation is high among anime aficionados eager to revisit the iconic visuals and kinetic storytelling of Project A-ko in its finest quality yet.
