Nipping on the heels of an announcement that a couple of classic Gundam flicks are being released on Sony’s Blu Ray, two other very popular anime movies have been announced for the next-gen format: Vision of Escaflowne and Cowboy Bebop: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.

The Gundam discs are out February 22nd; Escaflowne and Bebop are due January 25th.
