UK Anime Distributor MVM Entertainment Discussion Thread

Modern ecchi anime would give the BBFC a headache (and that's even with them softened up over the years).........imagine if MVM attempted to release Redo Of Healer. They'd cut like half the show

Not that it matters to me anyway. I imported Immoral Guild, Redo Of Healer and another show that would probably run afowl of the BBFC Gushing Over Magical Girls all last year not even entertaining the idea they would ever get UK releases anyway

I think we were actually offered Redo of Healer at one point but declined due to the content involved.

When will Sentai ever release the final 3 Crown Handler Blu-rays? Did they lose the license or something? There was supposed to be six releases in total.

The fifth and sixth movie have not come out in Japan, they are yet to be aired. No air dates/release dates for the movies have been announced either.

Rather like Girls und Panzer: Das Finale, it's one of those mini-movie series that has settled into a very slow release cadence where you're lucky if they release a new episode every two years. If it keeps following that pattern (which isn't confirmed), the sixth movie might screen in Japanese cinemas in 2029. Expect it to be at least 2031 before we have western blu-rays of the whole series (if anyone is still releasing blu-rays by then...).

It was a similar situation with some OAV series in the 90s, where some series might only get one new episode per year. I think Giant Robo was like that. We just used to be insulated from some of the lethargic pacing because OAVs tended not to be licensed for the west until they were complete. I clearly remember the painful multi-year wait for Giant Robo 7 when the UK caught up to the Japanese release schedule early.
