The company has also acquired several recent titles and has collaborated with streaming service Crunchyroll on several releases including KonoSuba, Kemono Friends, and 5 Centimeters per Second.

Discotek Media announced a new sub-label as a return to live-action films known as Nihon Nights, which started in 2022 with the 2000 film Uzumaki's Blu-ray release.
