UK Anime Distributor MVM Entertainment Discussion Thread

Today is MVM early bird day.
I'm calling Vinland Saga, Bunny Girl Senpai Dreaming Girl, Aria Season 2 or My next Life as a Villainess.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Bunny girl senpai movie would indeed be a very nice announcement after all this time

 

[RaeDra]

Early Bird is Venus Versus Virus on DVD

I predicted wrong after all...
Decent pick tho but DVD only?

Curses no Monogatari season 1

 

[Girls with Guns]

MVM sale seemed to be mostly a DVD dump, so I didn't buy a thing from their sale this year, since I quit buying DVDs 13 years ago.

 

[Vincentdante]

I can't wait for the MVM announcement to be something left field that no one brought up yet

Well it looks like I was correct lol.

 

[WMD]

I imagine this is good news for many

It does seem quite obvious they’ve lost Fate… madman and AoA about to release Camelot 1 and we don’t have Babylonia.

That sucks too because it's not like someone else picked it up and had won it from them. It's basically just not available outside of the US or Australia for english releases.

Air, Kanon and Venus Versus Virus have two things in common:

1) All three are published by TBS which is one of those companies that basically kept only giving US/CA access over the years.

2) They were also distributed by ADV Films before Funimation took over the licenses.

I see that Sentai is now taking orders for Is the Order a Rabbit? BLOOM, I wonder if we will see it listed on MVM soon.

I really hope so!

Do you think mvm could do some of there releases on SD to BD. Rather than dvd only?

There is no reason why they wouldn't, it's more down to who authors their discs, if MVM get a license for say Blue Seed, they'd have to release it as an SDBD, as that is the only release still available.
I assume Tony does it on a series by series thing, depending on what is available to him.

Interesting thing about MVM's release of The Familiar of Zero Season 1, which was first released in 2014. I received it today, amongst other titles I purchased from their 12 Days sale, and it seems that later batches use the masters from Sentai's Complete Collection release from 2017 (at the end of the English post-credit scroll, it was given a 2017 copyright at the end). The other 3 seasons still use Hanabee's discs.

 

[Magical Senshi]

Apologies for the double-post, but I forgot to mention that the recent issue of NEO, which came out 2 days ago, gave away an upcoming MVM title, which I believe MVM has yet to announce.

MVM has Vinland Saga (the release date is TBC, according to NEO).

Everyone needs Vinland Saga in their lives. Prepare to ugly-cry.

If they do the whole artbook+rigid case thing, I may double dip. Eager to see, at any rate!
