    The date is only tentative because we need final confirmation of dates from cinema chains, and from experience that can change as other film date's shift or films consume more screening slots than initially anticipated. Last thing I wanted to do at MCM is shout "THIS IS THE DATE" and then have...

    Just wanted to drop a note here that I've seen people's concerns/issues with this one, so I've raised it internally for us to look into what we can do here. No promises, but I wanted to acknowledge that we're aware and investigating! There was always supposed to be a relatively subtle effect of...

    Did we.... not confirm that at MCM Comic Con? I know I have MCM fever dreams (and stress dreams), but I'm sure that one actually happened....

    If we're talking about BLEACH, it's a Friday/Saturday release. More broadly, cinema chains do insist on showing non-anime films too - rumour has it that some of them even generate higher attendances than anime, especially at weekends! Unthinkable I know, but this is the scurrilous chatter we...

    Just to double-confirm, yep, it's definitely happening! It's in the works currently.

    Our theatrical and production teams are entirely disparate (barring us marketing folks who straddle both of course) so our cinema slate has no bearing on production work; work on Naruto and Bleach actually isn't eating up as much production time as you'd think, so it wouldn't be fair to say...

    We're in the process of moving to different social media management software that (from early testing) seems to actually work properly with BlueSky - once that's finalised and we're fully migrated we should be able to start posting everything there more easily.

    This is exactly why we don't typically include Steelbooks in Collector's sets - it's a divisive topic, but whenever we've asked in surveys etc more people have wanted us to keep the Steelbook out of the Collector's set than include it. It's also a per-title based decision, dependant upon print...

    That's right - aiming to get back to it in October most likely. Opted not to have an industry panel this time around because: a. We're being haranged constantly about previous announcements we haven't released yet so it feels like a good time to focus on those b. Boring internal admin stuff as...

    That's a Crunchyroll title as far as I recall.

    There's been a hold-up of the latest reprint of the Standard Edition, but it should be back in stock pretty soon now as that's all been resolved.

    As far as I'm aware it's an open event for anyone with an MCM ticket, so it'll just be first come, first served on the day (and it's a big auditorium so I'd expect a decent amount of space).

    Unlikely sadly - those shows have a long and successfully history in France, whereas they're practically unknown in the UK. Add in BBFC costs and it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense at this point in time.

    This is the kind of thing I'd love to be able to handle more seamlessly/comprehensively, but stock management is a complex beast and to do it 100% "properly" from a systematic point of view is, but simply, an absolutely nightmare unless you have a vast infrastructure (or vast manpower to brute...
