If you weren’t aware, as of 15th of February, you will no longer be able to purchase the DVDs or Blu-ray’s of Avex productions from Japanese stores. This includes shows like Yuri on Ice, Noragami, King of Prism, Assassination Classroom, etc. Most places will still ship orders placed before the new system comes in effect.

They’re applying the restriction on all web stores that operate from within Japan (so that means places like CDJapan, AmiAmi, etc so if you still wish to purchase the discs for those anime, you better work fast ;).) The restriction only applies to the product categories mentioned above, so character goods etc are still fair game.
