MVM:
Rosario & Vampire - September release
October: Rosario & Vampire Season 2.
November will see Mayo Chiki released.
Bodacious Space Pirates licensed by MVM for release next year.
Dream Eater Merry and Risen Maiden Overture (I think they must mean Rozen Maiden)
coming from MVM next year too.
MVM are looking to license the rest of Shana (season three and OVAs). Have Season 2.
MVM: Sony licensing costs are prohibitive, and consumer and retailer take-up have both been slow. MVM are sharing all costs with Madman for Broken Blade Blu-Ray - discs feature both company logos and both country rating certificates.
LIVE ACTION (from their FB) - Live action wise we're releasing My Ex 1&2 and the latest from the director of The Ring, Incite Mill, which will be renamed Death Game over here.
MANGA/KAZE:
Black Lagoon on Blu-Ray - coming on July 2nd! - First two seasons - one complete DVD set, two separate Blu-Ray season sets.
Bleach Season 9 - new-look releases in conjunction with Kaze UK
Strike Witches Season 2 - released 23rd July on DVD.
Panty & Stocking - currently slated for July 30th DVD release. Still waiting for masters however!
6th August: Spice & Wolf Season 2.
13th August: Squid Girl Season 1 DVD.
Sengoku Basara Season 2 - released on 17th September.
Tiger & Bunny movie 1 to get theatrical screenings in London and Scotland.
8th October DVD release for The World God Only Knows. Season 2 coming next week.
No date for release of second Mardock Scramble movie - waiting for English dub.
Q&A time. Black Rock Shooter is tough to license as it's designed to sell figures, which UK distributors don't do!
Jerome had lunch with Toei on Friday - Manga are looking at options to license more of their series.
Manga Entertainment: We need cost per disc to come down to make it more viable. BD inception costs are 3x higher than DVD. Hoping for a better deal with replicators next year.
In reply to me on Twitter: "However, we have #Gintama movie scheduled for Dec and......#MadokaMagica will get a 3-disc complete series release in mid October."
Berserk Movies - Kaze UK will start releasing these films from December 31st. First movie will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray, working towards a Collectors Edition as well. The first film will also get theatrical screenings in October (read: At Scotland Loves Anime!).
Viz Media are probably trying to assemble a dub cast around the original TV anime dub, no official word on this yet however. Currently discussing outtakes from the US dub of the original Berserk anime TV series.
Regarding Beez:
"Gundam licenses will be staying with Bandai, but all other Beez licenses have been released back to their original licensors. Currently in progress is the task of relicensing as many series as possible for the UK with other distributors. Thus, a lot of shows (such as Code Geass for example) will re-emerge once the new licenses are finalised, some of them later this year!"
