It should be set to auto renew, using stripe, in fact there isn't any option to not have it auto renew, or even send out a reminder a few days or a week before it renews, unfortunately...

I've cancelled mine for now, haven't ordered anything since In/Spectre I think, may very well re-sub later but no point in paying for a subscription for something I'm not currently using at all...

Thanks for letting me know!

I plan on keeping my subscription for now, just wasn't sure if I had to renew myself or not.
 
That's good news to hear with Crunchyroll, since obviously with Sony owning them there is worry that they simply won't play ball with others in case they maybe want to do something with the series 5 years down the line.

Since people asked about stuff, don't suppose there has ever been any interest in Tower Of God at all?
 
To the surprise of absolutely no one, it looks like CCS has been delayed yet again lol now listed as the 4th of July on Anime-on-Line which is how we usually find out things are delayed now days. Seems JJK has also been delayed until the 6th of June.

Heya!

For Poco's Udon World - if I had the chance I definitely would, it's not on the radar right now but if that changes will let folks know!

On the BL / Yaoi side of things - That's an area we've not done a great deal in barring Junjo Romantica which didn't do badly so never say never on more. To manage expectations though I think Super Lovers is unlikely though as I think it's unlikely to clear BBFC though.

If it does do that, please let us know and we'll manually cancel / refund for you. It's not something we have much control on this side or we'd have set it up to make it easier.

Makes complete sense there! Look forward to hopefully seeing you there again sometime :).

Well for now - there's definitely bigger things for them to do (integrating companies of the size of Funimation and Crunchyroll is not an easy or fast task) but we do have some stuff here that is on-going from the before times still yet to talk about. We'll see what the future has to bring too though :)!

Re Tower of God - there's certainly interest on my side here - I loved the series and it's one of the CR Originals so I'd love to see what kind of materials lurked to make a nice edition for it...

@anime_andrew

I've seen people ask about Yuru Camp and A Place Further Than the Universe, but I'm guessing as there's no US release it would be more difficult to release especially as there from a less popular genre.

Although you did release Amanchu! which seems similar and as far as I can tell is the only version, still haven't got round to watching it yet!
 
Regarding the next Gundam news going to be announced as mentioned in their last blog entry, I get the feeling AL will announce this or something else.

Gundam Cucuruz Doan's Island Blu-ray is going to be release same time as theatrical screenings (same as Hathaway's Flash).

Outside of the guaranteed Seed Destiny home video announcement we might see G Gundam, Gundam X, Build Fighters S1, 08th MS Team or 0080 War in the Pocket.

I'm not sure about Victory or AGE coming this year.
 
We surely won't be get a physical release of Cucuruz Doan's Island before any screenings here?

I would have thought that War in the Pocket or 08th MS Team would be next up but I've been saying that as a while so...

@anime_andrew does the cost of the bbfc ever stop you from releasing a show do you think they will ever lower the price ? thanks

I'm not Andrew but I can't envisage the BBFC ever lowering their price. Why would they? If anything, it's more likely to rise proportionally with, er, everything else.

I confess I don't understand what Crunchyroll do and do not own, but if you guys could get Eizouken and Vladlove out in physical form that'd be great!
Click to expand...

Just to quote myself, I don't think I need to justify Eizouken but I'm surprised how little of a splash that Vladlove made at time of broadcast. The first series directed by Mamoru Oshii since Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai! in 1989, it's a return to the comedy from that series as well as his more famous Urusei Yatsura and his collaborator on that series, Junji Nishimura, joins him here as well. Now, you don't expect Oshii post-Angel's Egg/Patlabor/Ghost in the Shell/Kerberos Saga to be returning to comedy with a vampire yuri series but that he did. I don't think it's near the same level as his masterpieces but I thought it was a genuinely funny abstraction of modern anime stereotypes/tropes from a director who is clearly a few generations removed from it. And it's visually beautiful, stylish, distinctly Oshii. Love it, hate it, I think it deserved more discussion either way and I'd love a release that considered it in the context of Oshii's career.

[Speaking of context, it looks like Ghost in the Shell (and Ghost in the Shell 2) are the only works by Oshii currently in print in the UK which seems like a situation that needs to be rectified. I suppose there are limited options - The Sky Crawlers looks to be OOP but it was available from Manga for years for cheap, Angel's Egg would be the ideal but it appears to be impossible, Urusei Yatsura is hella long, it seems like there aren't any HD masters for Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai! or Twilight Q, and we discussed Patlabor here a few years ago and I know Andrew was concerned that there was a small market for them here due to previous releases but....I really do think there needs to be a release of the Patlabor films for the UK market. There was probably more buzz about their recent screenings at the BFI season than pretty much any other film in the season. The US editions, while cheap and pretty good, can be bettered.]
