I've been keeping track on what's licensed and what not for UK anime for the past decade or so. Anime Limited in recent years have managed to get through some titles here and there but there's still a chunky list to go through.
I do expect most of what was announced yesterday to be part of the Early Bird slate this coming Christmas sale. List below doesn't include titles on pre-orders like Lonely Castle in the Mirror or continuous shows like InuYasha.

Looking at the list, they could breeze through them without too much issue but my problem is that the gap between the US and UK has been widening more and more especially when it comes to Sentai's catalogue. I get that Anime Limited have a lot on their buffet, but it would be better if they announce it in advance rather than leave it to the last second.
Pretty much. My guess is that had Anime Limited managed to secure the Netflix dub, then it would have sold better to warrant getting the second season.
Hey, there must at least be enough of us for them to keep releasing it.
Wait, what was the last Gundam AL released? Is the fact I didn’t buy Sneed and Build Fighters the reason they stopped, because they only sold eleven copies of those instead of the usual twelve?

Well those ones I didn’t buy because there was no way in Hell I could afford them also I was kinda just making a joke and didn’t actually expect a serious answer.
