Doing good with the KyoAni titles this year here in the U.K. on blu ray, eh? So far, one cancelled and the other pulled from sale pending “art review”. At least they won’t have to recall it this time if it never makes it onto shelves!! Guess the discs are going back in the warehouse next to...

I think Goodfellas are the licensor (a french company). At least, that's who are listed as the "Courtesy of" on the BFI's site for it's screening next month. Their website says they've distributed a bunch of the Ghiblis over the other side of the channel, so I wouldn't be surprised. Not sure...

I picked up a copy of Sentai's soremachi "And Yet The Town Moves" Blu-Ray release awhile back (great series!) - I notice you have it listed as "geo-locked" -- but it runs totally fine in my player (region B), no bypass needed.

Ofcom's annual media nations report is out today and places Crunchyroll as being used by 2% of surveyed UK households in the last 3 months (n/c from reporting year 2022, only of the portion of households who use VOD services to begin with)...

I guess K-ON kind-of makes sense, given they previously only released it in limited edition. Hope they don't have to recall it this time. Interestingly K-ON hasn't made it over from Funimation yet on streaming. This does give me some hope though they'll eventually get round to doing a Haruhi...

Quite surprising indeed. I doubt the early announcement was the cause of this, it was properly announced via a press release along with a bunch of other titles. It's unusual that a large title like this got announced before any word of a US release, though. I guess it's possibly just a matter of...

Looks like it's incorrectly marked as a Film on the BBFC website. It displays as a 15 because that's the rating of the first item in the set. This is because films may contain bonus discs of a higher rating than the main feature (e.g. encanto's bonus features), and so the BBFC site is...

Looks like a 15 to me, with Ep8 marked up for violence?

The image they're using for One Piece 31 has Blu-Ray on the side of the box. I thought OP in the UK was DVD only? Listing seems to be for 4xDVD only, so maybe it's a mistake or placeholder.

Amazon announced their BookDepository will permanently close as of the end of April https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/apr/04/amazon-to-close-book-depository-online-shop

Is it just me or does the BBFC's recent change to make individual episode rating details expand/contract mean you can no longer click through to read individual rating content description details of each episode? I'm missing my weekly dose of slightly unhinged and ostensibly formal descriptions...

In less egregious news, CR announced that the Kaguya Movie (tickets went on sale in the US today) will premiere in the UK on February 15 in a release sent out to media (source), with tickets on sale from Feb 3.

You can’t really compare apples to oranges between systems that have different goals and regulations around them. TV in the U.K. is heavily regulated (by Ofcom, who impose a daytime watershed on objectionable content) but there are no age ratings for linear TV, nor any legal mandate for...

ANN now reporting Seven Seas States Amazon in Europe Has Stopped Purchasing its Titles

That law is interesting. I suppose it'd make sense timings-wise, though apparently Amazon haven't said anything according to people who replied to the tweet and contacted their support. I guess it doesn't really affect continental Europe too much, since manga is popular enough to be handled by...

Seven Seas posted this somewhat ominous tweet yesterday that raised more questions than it answered It sounds like Amazon in Europe are no longer stocking or buying manga printed in the U.S--at least not from the Los Angeles region where Seven Seas are based. The replies to the tweet have...
