UK Anime Distributor MVM Entertainment Discussion Thread

Nice are you an Empowered fan? I really like that series (also by Adam Warren, though tbf I've only read the first two volumes)

I don't think I've heard of empowered.

I don't think I've heard of empowered.

Let me know what you think of it if you check it out - I believe it is all available digitally though some of the physical books from Dark Horse are out of print sadly

I don't think I've heard of empowered.

It's Adam Warren's superhero comedy that he did in the 00s. I thought the first few volumes were great, but it got a bit repetitive after a while and the story just didn't seem to be going anywhere. I lost interest somewhere around volume 6, I think, but your mileage may vary.

Same. Although I'm not sure the UK anime fans here would agree, I actually enjoyed the dub even if they were imitation British accents. I normally only watch subs.

Only thing that would have made it better would have been if they had cast authentic British VAs to play the parts.

I genuinely adore the English dub. Especially when there's an extra who can only keep the fake accent up for 8 words before relapsing into their normal American accent. It makes me smile.

Any chance of getting the dirty pair blue ray box set licenced for the UK.

Hard to say where licensing would stand as it's a Kickstarter project. I'd personally like to see it released as well as Flash (which I enjoyed back in the VHS era).

 

[MVM]

Hey @MVM any chance of a uk release of. "say i love you"?
Sentai have the licence for this

Nothing planned for this one sorry.

Still waiting for Scum's Wish to get another turn in dotw, I'm sure MVM have completely forgotten about it.

Everyone be sure to get Aria the Natural, if you even slightly liked Aria the Animation you'll like this one even more. It's one of shows that gets even better with each new season. So if Aria the Animation was an 8/10 for you then Aria the Natural is at least a 9/10.

Pre-ordered my copy just now, looking forward to watching it all.

For real, Aria the Origination was even in the MAL top 10 back in the day. It's pretty much the peak of its genre IMO.

Only just looked at the release dates of both parts of Aria The Natural, Jan. and Feb. respectively, the wait is going to be real on this one, really looking forward to watching more.

Hopefully, MVM are able to get both parts in stock early and possibly even send them together like they did with the first 2 parts of Girls und Panzer das Finale.

All I said was I thought Princess Principal was better.
Of course, you may be quoting someone else.
I enjoyed them both but the steampunk raised PP for me. I suppose knowing about cavorite helped me.
