The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

It seems Gamersheek have teamed up with Goodsmile Company to create

Goodsmile Company UK

Will be interested to see how this goes, and what products they will stock going forward as being a Goodsmile branded store might bring some limitations?

Finally preorder bonus's being available in the UK. It was always a pain they don't do what Kotobukiya did and make some available for the EU market

Personally haven't used them in a while but hopefully this will be a good time for Goodsmile products in the UK

Yet another anime review in The Guardian.

Now another anime Guardian piece, this time about Pluto.

 
Criterion Collection is going to include Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (S1) and Gunbuster The Movie

(Also weird timing for me, I literally just finished SAC S1 for the first time time last night! Had this been known I may have held off to see what this looked like)
Pretty sure this is just for streaming and not a new US home video release. Sony don't have the US rights, they went to Lionsgate with their merger of Manga US. Sony have the UK rights from buying Manga UK, Manga were on the production committee for the 2 movies and SAC.
 
Scotland Loves Anime 2026 (Glasgow and Edinburgh legs) dated!

Glasgow Film Theatre from 6th-8th
Edinburgh Filmhouse for a week from the 16th-22nd


Gap in the middle for London again maybe?
I actually liked the move to the Cameo, kind of shame as they had a bigger screening room for us, more leg room, you could buy an annual Picturehouse membership to get most of the tickets with (saving a few £) and they had smaller screening rooms for overspill screenings for fast filling festival slots.
