New CR stuff is starting to pop up on the BBFC website. Just The Legendary Hero is Dead! so far, will probably be another 2-3 titles showing up over the next week.

It's still an indicator that a bunch of CR stuff is currently going through classification. When one thing pops up on the BBFC website another 2-5 Crunchyroll titles usually appear over the course of the following week.

Would be nice if we got the good stuff.
I trust in calendars, not BBFC
- CR US releases are usually announced on the 15th of the month (if weekend / holidays: following working day) during the late evening (UK time)
- UK releases are often announced on the same or the following day
Currently 404ed, but wait a few days
Guess we'll have more information on April releases on Monday.

Honestly the only home video releases I'm looking forward to from Crunchyroll is Tomo Chan, 86, The Dangers in My Heart, Bungo Stray Dogs Season 4-5 and Vinland Saga Season 2.
The recent slates regardless of which branch have been dry, barring Bocchi.

Noticed AOL have Transformers: The Movie, both BD and 4K copies up as new listings, assume these are re-prints which is interesting as they're under Crunchyroll (the movie was licensed when they were still Manga UK).
I know Crunchyroll have re-printed a few old Manga UK releases at this point but always interesting to point out nonetheless.
AOL have also put the prices back down for some upcoming Crunchyroll releases such as Spy x Family Part 2 LE, was £60.00+ a few weeks back I'm pretty sure but is now back to £52.49 which I'm glad about.

Isn't this a Sentai one? So it'll probably be through either MVM or AL here.

What an underwhelming line-up
OP is the only thing I'm interested in there but when I catch up to that point I'll import the BD version anyway.Though if any of the other shows are decent, someone let me know.

I decided to place a order for The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie via Amazon.
Honestly disappointed that it didnt get announced despite being BBFCed already a while ago.

The movie has only been classified for the theatrical release, there has been no submission to the BBFC for a home release.

Reminds me of what happened with Genocidal Organ, which had a theatrical release by AL but didn't get a UK home video release. Though weirdly, AL did release it in France.

That was due to Funimation pulling all their licences from AL not long after the theatrical release.

And speak of the devil. Crunchyroll finally confirmed a UK home video release for the Quintessential Quintuplets movie on May 6th.

Was real close to importing as well, they were taking their sweet time I thought they weren't releasing it at this point, despite the theatrical release.

Multiple outlets have received the press release saying it's been added to the schedule

Mob Psycho season 3 has recently been rated on the BBFC for physical media and streaming so that might be out soon.

Hopefull Boochi will eventually sneak in the UK home video schedule since it's one of the biggest anime of 2022.
