It's been a while since I've done this sort of thing, but we have two big conventions these next 10 days. Anime Central (also called ACen) in North America and MCM London Comic Con here in England.

The entirety of Season 1 will be released as a complete Blu-ray box with the same on-disc contents as the Blu-ray Limited Edition Box Sets from back in 2013.

In addition Blue Exorcist Kyoto Saga English Dub is being simulcast exclusive on Hulu.

for Blue Exorcist if you want a nice artbox release for cheap just get Madmans, or if you really care and just want the show then get Manga's. Paying $160 for AoAs is crazy
 
Still annoyed I was suckered into the LE DVDs for Blue Exorcist. At least I learnt in time for Magi - but there are still several DVD-only sets which really deserve the upgrade except they probably sold terribly due to AoA's staggered release strategy.

All The Anime | Announcement Day 0 and Day 1 #1

Your Name coming to IMAX theaters this August.

Project Itoh: Genocidal Organ, the third and final part of the Project Itoh trilogy adaptations is coming to the UK with a theatrical screening this July. Funimation managed to acquire all three films at the same time but Anime Limited only managed with just Empire of Corpses and Harmony a few years ago.

The leaked theatrical releases for the upcoming anime films have been officially revealed.
  • The Night is Short, Walk on Girl - 20th September 2017

Where are you getting this info from?
 
Bonus:

This was announced yesterday, but PQube did a similar type of announcement last year with Steins;Gate 0.

Chaos;Child is heading west for PlayStation 4 and Vita. This is the fourth main instalment in the Science Adventure series, it also has ties to Chaos;Head but it's mostly standalone. The visual novel has been rated PEGI 18 and CERO Z for its strong bloody violence.
 
Cardcaptor Sakura announcement soon? Or has it been announce already?

Happy to see the rumor confirmed. Love the first Steins Gate game (still need to play 0), so this will be a day 1 purchase.
 
Universal have announced their releases for the rest of the year.
Starmyu Season 1
Bakuon
Heroic Legend of Arlsan: Dust Storm Dance
And You Thought There Is Never a Girl Online?
Berserk
Drifters

Universal will also be releasing complete collections of Arslan Season 1 and Seraph of the End

Universal also announced that they have the home video rights to Seven Mortal Sins.
 
Some good titles there. Will be picking up Netoge and Drifters. It's a shame that Grisaia wasn't on the list but there is a small chance MVM may have it.
 
Only really interested in Drifters out of that Universal lot, and even then only at the right price.

So was Anime Limiteds panel just about theatrical then?
