[RadFemHedonist]

I followed my own advice and put in a $75 order including Ronja-The Robber's Daughter which I've wanted to get for a long time.

I love RtRD such an awesome underappreciated series

Girls Und Panzer das Finale Part 4 for me.

 

[zrdb]

I've been reading the Magical Girl Nanoha EXCEEDS manga and if the recently announced anime of the same name follows the storyline it's going to be an excellent series.

Crunchyroll having only those two Code Geass rereleases is the smallest slate of announcements I can think of from them.

Hope that's a one-time quirk rather than some hint of them just not releasing more and more of their titles on disc.

You just know something is very wrong when Sentai which is a much smaller company has more monthly releases than crappyroll.

 

[cfx]

Another paltry set of announcements in terms of size, I think the third(?) month in a row. One month is one thing, two is troubling, three suggests this is the new normal.

Given the overwhelming majority of what Crunchyroll UK releases are the same as what the US gets, this is going to start affecting Crunchyroll UK's slates as well. It hasn't, noticeably so yet, only because the UK release dates mostly lag a month or two behind the US.

And there is nothing in this set that I want.

 

[Otomo]

At least I know that we will get Solo Levelling 2 in the UK.
I'll buy that and I don't own S1 yet!

A small slate but glad to see DB Daima releasing and I like the design of the LE so I'll definitely be pre-ordering that once the UK listing is up.

 

[Girls with Guns]

I'll get the Solo Leveling S2 LE since I have the LE of the first season, and the Greatest Alchemist. I'll also pickup the two steelbooks from the February slate, 2.5 Dimensional Seduction and Elf Girl's Cat - even though I hate cats, lol.

Corporations don’t want you to own stuff. They want you to be on an eternal subscription to their content which they will drop or alter at a whim.
