One of my favourite shows of recent years. I'd never have thought that it would get released over here.
Seems like the Crunchyroll acquisition will hopefully lead to more diverse releases now.

I doubt it considering they are making people redundant, it will probably just become a office of the US company. I’m expecting it to be less considerate of the UK due to the job losses.

Yeah maybe it's just wishful thinking.

Well that's some news that is terrible to hear. Why did they even buy out Manga?

To have a UK office one assumes. @Joshawott wrote an article about the redundancies:

Redundancies Reported at Funimation/Crunchyroll UK & More • Anime UK News
Reports of redundancies at Funimation UK have circulated on social media this morning, following last month's news of consolidation between Funimation and Crunchyroll.

These sort of redundancies were fully expected in any merger, they always axe the HR, admin, PR, etc departments as they only need one of these teams within one location. The main things to look out for however is if they take an axe to the people who handle the content or acquisitions, which may result in poorer quality as fewer people trying to work on more simultaneous projects.

Quick question, I've just ordered a copy of Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! Take on Me on ebay with the slip cover but I was just curious if the other movie, Rikka Version, also came with a slipcover on its first print run as I haven't come across a copy with it so far.

I didn't get one (slip cover) and I pre ordered early, so I don't think one existed in the UK.

I honestly can't remember if I ordered early or not but it's the only one I don't have a slipcase for if that helps at all.

Ah, alright then, thanks guys. I'm in no rush to pick it up as it's only a compilation / recap movie but good to know regardless.
Hey this is interesting. According to the bbfc this was classified on 11/04/22 but it's still register's the distributor manga entertainment Ltd, was there some kind of paperwork not filed out for the company name change or something?

Given they only changed the company name to Crunchyroll Manga Ltd on 29th March, perhaps we’ll soon see this change reflected on their future releases.

No slip with that one. Not much in the way of extra features either.

Standard Mugen Train also has one.

I'm curious of when the Funimation (now Crunchyroll) is gonna announce new shows for Q3 or monthly announcements?
It's taking a while.

@NormanicGrav's the man in the know, so... I see SSSS.Dynazenon's coming up to its US release, which I notice is region-A/B. What would you reckon are the chances of a UK release for it?
