its been out in Australia too, pretty disappointing to be that far behind for... some reason. Appreciate its probably not gonna be a particularly big deal given the numbers elsewhere.

I could last until September in a vacuum. But American's have already started aggressively spoiling this. And the fanboy part of me looks at the more arthouse stuff on the AL theatrical slate and thinks "You really couldn't have given one of these spaces to the big franchise movie UK fans now have to spend 4 months trying in vain to avoid spoilers for?"
 
I really don't want to sound petulant about this, it doesn't make me happy in the least but...at the same event where we learn the UK apparently likes Gundam well enough to get a permanent retail location, the fiction once again gets a non committal future date. There's literally a section for the film at Bandai's booth!

Hanners made this entirely sincere remark about understanding UK fans frustrations (a lesser man would have put me sat in the 4th row on blast). But as is, once again the fiction side of Gundam gets kicked down the road.

My main source for the larger cinema chains is the Film Depot release list that is updated every Thursday https://www.filmdepot.nl/download/releaselijst

Some releases like GQuuuuuuX don't appear on the list, so you also have to frequently check the release schedules of cinemas. Some smaller arthouse cinemas like LAB111 regularly have anime in their programming. Then there also various festival such as Kaboom Animation Festival, Imagine Film Festival, IFFR, Camera Japan. Kaboom Animation Festival also organizes anime screenings throughout the year in smaller arthouse cinemas across the country.

Distributors currently active on the anime market: Sony/CR via Universal Pictures, Piece of Magic Entertainment (POM Anime), Paradiso Films and the French distributor Apollo Films (CGR Events, ADN Animation Digital Network). Periscoop Film seems to be exiting the anime market as they have not released any anime since Totto-chan last summer. There was supposed to be a release of Hunter x Hunter The Last Mission in November last year that got canceled.

Thank you so much! Thats some amazing info:)
 
Someone elsewhere brought up the idea Hathaway isn't coming until Autumn because it'll be folded into SLA. Don't want to go down the conspiracy theory path (stop laughing!) but after what happened last year with CCA and EW, I could see it.
