I think the BBFC certificate is largely irrelevant, as @ayase said. I doubt it's going to convince many British / Western under-12s to sign up to the Japanese military (or defence force, as it is today). Unlike Triumph of the Will or Jud Süß, which strongly promote poisonous ideologies and prejudices that still sadly persist to this day, Momotaro's propaganda is now largely irrelevant and inapplicable.
I asked about on-disc extras because, as I've posted since it was announced, I thought it would be a good opportunity to release a historical survey of anime as I imagine that a lot of them are now public domain and could just be put on disc for posterity's sake. I'll take this chance to promote the English-friendly Japanese Animated Film Classics website that was set up by the National Film Centre at the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo for anime's centenary last year and includes other works by Mitsuyo Seo (director of Momotaro) and Kenzo Masaoka (The Spider and the Tulip)

Shame its French masters and down to two discs from Nozomi's four
Patient-X
Railgun
At 60-70 minutes a film, two discs won't be a problem. The nozomi discs are BD 25s, I'm presuming the AL discs will be BD 50s

The issue is that you can only have the artwork for two films visible unless you double dip.

Railgun
Once it's sitting on my shelf the only visible artwork is the spine of the artbox, so I'm not too worried

Yeah the disc art on ALs is not great and I didnt like ZZs sub font.

I'm just going to pick up two copies and reverse the covers on the second set to solve the problem.Once it's sitting on my shelf the only visible artwork is the spine of the artbox, so I'm not too worried
Patient-X
Railgun
In that case I'm getting four copies so I can have an artbox for each

Very happy we're getting this, it will certainly still be a day-one purchase for me, but the choice of the covers being for I or II and III or IV is a little bit awkward, as others have mentioned.Mobile Suit GUNDAM: Origin I-IV
Any chance the reversible interior could have both, so you have the cover for Vol. I on the front of the case, II on the back etc? Just the images with minimal white space and titles would be even nicer (like AL's reversible sleeves of the other UC shows) but I get that distributors have to work with what they're given a lot of the time.
As one of the people who posted "I'd love to buy that but that's far too much money for one OVA" every time, I would like to thank Anime Limited for this treat! Plus another matching box as well!

Only things currently oop here are the movies(available from AL France) and G Reco, which should be getting a standard edition in the near future. I'm excluding the Origin CEs as they're Japanese versions sold by AL.
