For what it's worth @anime_andrew said during the panel when it comes to the bleach releases that they'll be releasing them 1 volume a month rather than several months so if they do release more shonen it will be quick.

Happy about Re:Zero S2. I've been interested in Shirobako so that's nice to see as well.
What's weird is Naruto. Starting another forever series, really? Why not One Piece too while you're at it (assuming Funiroll only has the DVD rights).

Wow Re:Zero 2 is very unexpected. What was Crunchyroll doing a few months ago then?

I'm curious how Naruto will be packaged and released. I might be interested in that one if only because it's one of those rare shonen series that actually has a beginning and end lol.
I mentioned this in passing at the Q&A part of the panel (which I imagine hasn't been picked up), but InuYasha Season 2 is coming early in 2024.
It's also a very different beast to Bleach and Naruto, where we're already receiving materials far ahead of time, and its very much our intention to have a regular and solid cadence between volumes.

Maybe will see what reviews say
- Lonely Castle in the Mirror (dir: Keiichi Hara, studio: A-1 Pictures)
- BLUE GIANT (dir: Yuzuru Tachikawa, studio: NUT)
- Kaiji
- SHIROBAKO
- Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 2 (semi-new license but let's just leave it here)
- Harmonie (dir: Yasuhiro Yoshiura, studio: Studio Rikka & Ultra Super Pictures)
Really interested in all of these given they're all getting CEs (I'd even double dip on Parasyte, already have the Animatsu CEs for that but I'm curious to see what AL come up with!)
- Kids on the Slope
- Food Wars! Season 1
- The Flowers of Evil
- Parasyte -the maxim-
- Akame ga Kill!
- Naruto (Original series i.e. the one before Shippuden)
- Naruto Shippuden [they got this too, makes sense]

Is there a reason you've stopped streaming the Love Live franchise?

Is there any plans to release all of Food wars, or is this down to sales figures?
Since it allegedly bombed for Animatsu

So does this mean they will be taken down from Crunchyroll?
Or will Crunchyroll retain UK streaming rights while AL has physical?

Anime Limited are sub licencing this from VIZ for physical release, who still retain the streaming rights.

So yea, clone of the current Sentai release looks likely
Thanks for the clarification - I hadn’t heard that as I didn’t attend MCM London this time around. Am Interested to see how Naruto and Bleach will be handled compared to the US releases from a packaging perspective + episode count (it would be great to get fewer sets but with more episodes each compared to the 27-28 per Viz release.)

Oh for
if I had only waited a bit longer before getting spooked by more and more importer options being lost... Oh well, let's see if the AL CE will be superior enough to double dip for

I'll definitely double-dip and buy a UK release of Shirobako. I'd like to think it was Miles that was specifically pushing for the collector's edition. 
I'll probably pick up Re:Zero S2 as well, but oh boy, what a messy situation that appears to be. Well whatever, I'd be quite happy for AL to pick up that the other titles that Crunchyroll UK have lost under the sofa. I'm specifically thinking of Sonny Boy & Heike Story. Although given AL's past involvement with Naoko Yamada, that latter would seem more likely if the opportunity arose.

I'm glad Re:Zero s2 is getting a release here but it's kind of a crazy situation!
I mean yeah Crunchyroll probably accidentally listed it here and didn't have the rights BUT Anime Limited was one of the sites that put it up for pre order!?!?!!
Did they forget they had the rights or at that point had they assumed crunchy had them and not even attempted? Both options are crazy.
Also happy about Food Wars but s1 & s2 are still pretty readily available so maybe start with s3 and go back?
I can see s1 not selling too well and them getting cold feet and us again never seeing s3 - s5
Apart from that though a pretty solid line up
