Isn't there also a big London con soon too? Maybe something there?

Perhaps, but it's rather unlikely we'll expect an announcement over here... yet.
But, hey UK distributors. Surprise me.

Oh god I think I'd cry many tears of joy if Anime Limited got Jojo, but tbh I think I'd buy it from anyone at this point.

I don't think Warner own VIZ. As far as I'm aware they just handle the distribution of their titles. I do wonder what constitutes season 1 though. Are we talking episodes 1 - 13? Are we talking just Phantom Blood?NormanicGrav said:
I wait to hear what Viz will be doing as far as the release strategy goes, and I'm looking forward to hearing what the inevitable BD LE will include. I just hope they haven't given the project to Subatomic Digital to handle since the video quality on the Sailor Moon and Gargantia BDs are abyssmal. A **** quality Jojo release would break my poor miserable heart.

I think Anime Limited would do a great job of JoJo's but at the same time I think its too long a series for them too undertake as they're better suited with their limited edition sets to 13 episode series and movies (25-26 episode series at a push but not too often).Buzzkillington said:
If its Viz / Warner bros then its Kaze by default in which case I'd hope Warner Bros would bypass Kaze and just release it themselves in the UK

Yeah I actually asked about it for one of the podcast questions, and Andrews answer didn't sound as though it was something he would be keen on, but he did say a few people were interested but it was tied up in complications at the time....but seriously, I'd even buy it from Manga.Jon O Fun said:I think Anime Limited would do a great job of JoJo's but at the same time I think its too long a series for them too undertake as they're better suited with their limited edition sets to 13 episode series and movies (25-26 episode series at a push but not too often).Buzzkillington said:

US release confirmed NOT to be from Viz Media apparently. So it's Warner Bros themselves.
Funimation have announced that Blood Blockade Battlefront and Seraph have been added to DubbleTalk which suggests they'll be receiving a Broadcast dub.

JoJo has Manga written all over it... Didn't Manga distribute Supernatural the anime for Warners?

I have to admit I'd be shocked if Warner Bros distribute it themselves in the UK - like you say, it'd be a no brainer for Manga or Animatsu to get it as they'd market the crap out of it. Though I suppose Warner have upped their game with the live action RK movies and Black Butler movie recently, getting steelbooks/cinema releases.

No Warner actually released Supernatural themselves but DVD only (the US got Blu-ray [A & B apparently] and DVD).

I wouldn't mind Warner Bros invading the anime scene here in the UK. But the question is will they give the shows a nice treatment.

Yeah, I think that's more the issue I have with it - the treatment of the release.
Anyone remember Sony's limp attempt with Legend of the 1000 Dragon and First Squad? If Warner just do something like that, it's not really going to be favourable.
On the other hand, Warner as a bonafide anime distributor in its own right could be very interesting if they put proper money and marketing muscle behind it - they'd potentially have the kind of resources the likes of Manga etc. could only ever dream of.
Sentai Filmworks have done some recent license announcements lately.
Yesterday we had Punchline.
Now we have My Love Story and Triage X.

Media Blasters have plans to release a Kite collection (consisting of Kite International version and Kite Liberator) and Ladies vs Butlers collection on Blu-ray.
LvB was initially confirmed for DVD only at that point but now it's both formats.
Kite was already released on Blu-ray individually back in November.

How many years has it been since Media Blasters announced they were releasing LvB? Gotta wonder why they've sat on it for so long.
