Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters Japanese Blu-Ray Drops This May

Toho has announced plans for their domestic home video release of the the first anime film in the franchise, Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters. Four different releases will hit the Japanese market on May 16th, 2018. It is important to note that while these releases include extensive special features and unique box art, they will not include an English subtitle or English dub option. They are exclusive to Japan, but for collectors of the the Japanese releases willing to import, Toho Video is offering quite the spread.

Has anyone else thought about how releasing the Blu-ray for Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters would affect the success of its sequel, which comes out that same month? I know I have.
