As far as I'm aware they go out to all Anime Unlimited subscribers.
@Hanners @demiopedia well so much for being independent, still hope there really won't be to much change and certainly hope you will still do the conventions but I can't shack the feeling it won't be the same.

Plaion Pictures acquires Anime Ltd.
The indie label Plaion Pictures, the film division of the Plaiongroup, has acquired 100 percent of the shares in British Anime Ltd. With the acquisition, Plaion says he wants to expand its position as a pan-European key player in the marketing and distribution of Japanese pop art content.
Anime Ltd., headquartered in Glasgow and offices in Paris and San Francisco, specializes in the marketing of Japanese animated films and series, soundtracks and merchandise products in the UK, France and the USA.
Stefan Kapelari, Managing Director Plaion Pictures: "We are very pleased to welcome the Anime Ltd. team to our group. Together, we will further expand our role as a key player in the marketing and distribution of Japanese pop art content. Together, we will become a pan-European publisher who can offer our Japanese partners a 360-degree service from marketing to distribution on all relevant channels."
Jochen Walter, Managing Director Plaion Pictures, adds: "I am particularly pleased that with this step our Plaion Pictures team is growing in the UK, and we now also have a location in France. With the support of Anime Ltd., we will also continue to expand our SVOD channel Aniverse. Our entire anime team welcomes the new colleagues!"

Hehe, I forgot to unsubscribe and haven't bought much from AL this year (so far). I got the booklet yesterday and am seriously considering cutting out the picture of Liz and The Blue Bird to frame.

I cannot tell if this is a good thing yet or not.
If this means that more anime will become available to the UK then I will remain open.

Seeing Gundam & VE get delayed again made me think when was the last time AL actually released something? Going by their new to old option on the site Memories came out 3rd Oct and before that it was Hello World on 18th July... I know their site has an update "problem" but no way they've released one thing in 3 months right?!?!?!
Edit: apparently Relative Worlds came out yesterday but is still listed as a preorder so missed that, my mistake!

OK, by the looks of things AL will still be making it's own decisions and operate on there own and this is mostly going to be about expanding to the rest of Europe. I hope that will just be the case as I have always loved that AL concentrate on not just new but old titles and would hate for them to stop licensing classic titles. It also looks like Andrew will still be running things. If it's ok to ask I hope @Hanners or @demiopedia are OK (and aloud) to answer any questions anyone has on the subject. For instance how do you think this will effect AL with regards to titles going forward?
