Thanks for the confirmation.
I had a feeling it tended to be in that range, but there are enough exceptions to make me twitch. I can't remember all the ones I noticed off the top of my head, but Ideon went out of print after a year or two, the same for Goshogun, One Week Friends was maybe 4 years, etc.

Not to be rude as I would never intend to be so, but if I may, there were some issues with Dog & Scissors, long before you attempted to release it upon unsuspecting UK eyes. You're competing with AL's Ousama Game so I dare say best it stays on hold, forever more, lest innocent viewers be tainted by it. I shall never forget the hobo+shotgun, in no-gun Japan... the horror~
...ah, and yes: please stop the BBFC on spines. Andrew eventually learned with their more pricey releases if not their cheaper ones. Space Dandy was traumatic for me. Heaven Feel's releases didn't have the BBFCing on spines, which is quite wonderful to behold.

I almost purchased Seitokai Yakuindomo in the Sentai Sale last week, but then I watched a few episodes streaming first, and just like the GIF above, there was just way too much of that obnoxious 'comedy' in it for me.

I asked MVM on Twitter if there will be any new licenses announced during the weekend of MCM London, even though they aren't attending this year, as they confirmed with another user, and they confirmed to me that whilst they have titles in the pipeline and pursuing new licenses, they won't be announcing anything during the weekend.

I loved the first season of Aria and hope they announce the rest as I will happily preorder each release as it comes

I've noticed that MVM's Aria The Animation is listed as 'Aria S1 collection' on Amazon. This seems unwise as it causes that listing to not appear in search results. You only find the American and Japanese releases if you search for Aria The Animation there.

Oh yeah baby, gimme that Fate HF 3 and surprise Babylonia announcement, I need those sakuga goodies. Just rewatched Zero the other day, still one of the goats.

Yes! Been waiting for the HF3 announcement.
Has anything been said about Babylonia?

Nothing at all, just wishful thinking on my end! Sure wish we'd heard about it, though...

Yeah it seems weirdly silent as Madman released part 2 of FGO Bab last month and the fact US is now releasing the film is making me hope for it less, then again they skipped Fate/Extra which already made me go AoA.

Looks like funimation will probably get it by the sounds of things.

At this point, I'm debating about whether to carry on waiting for a UK release of Dreaming Girl (hopefully, a collector's edition), or go for broke and import the AoA release, which was released in June last year.
I know MVM stated back in July this year on here (after I asked) that they've enquired into Dreaming Girl, but no further news regarding it.

Saw the answer here before I saw it on Twitter lol
That sucks. Having all of Fate on one publisher would be cool. Still, if it ends up coming, that's cool and funi will probably give us a CE to go with it.

I suppose it's a question of how long AoA releases tend to stay in print. If they vanish quicker than other labels, I'd say go ahead and import it. I wouldn't pay AoA prices for most movies, but Dreaming Girl was definitely worth it.
