Judging by it being on Animax FUNimation has the UK streaming rights for D-Frag so they probably have physical as well.
SNAFU and Chuunibyou were Kaze streams however, so it is less likely that Sentai has any UK rights to them (especially Chuunibyou since it is on iTunes in the US, but not the UK). Whether Kaze has any physical rights to them in the UK is impossible to tell since they've ceased talking to us. At this point we don't know if they're even going to release any non-ongoing titles that we do know they have the rights to, like Future Diary.

Thanks for the info =]

Hope Manga do grab it if that's the case (which I imagine it is).

I didn't know SNAFU was a KAZE stream, yikes. I have no idea how it works but if KAZE do have the rights to said shows then it'd be lovely if they could just ya'know ..hand em over into more capable hands (cannot believe we're still waiting for Future Diary, I feel like the license is going to run out before its released).

I hope KAZE aren't just sitting on UK licenses and doing nothing with them... sure pretty much all of us would just complain that KAZE had the rights and most would refuse to buy the release ;) but it'd be good to know.

Speaking of KAZE, have you guys seen the synopsis on the back of Mardock Scramble: The Third Exhaust? It's hilarious..
 
I noticed that on in the blurb, it refers to Rune as "him" at one point 9.9. Also, all of the names are underlined for some weird reason and whoever translated it needs to learn the difference between present tense and past tense and how to proof-read:

"Dr. Easter, Rune and Oeufcoque hast set up a plan to bring in Shell in a court of justice and to convict him once for once and for all. They will have to infiltrate the Blue Eggnog, the casino owned by Shell, and find the chip which stores the psychopath's memoriese. Without this component, the procedure will be rejected, and Rune will become useless in the eyes of the authorities, condemning her to destruction. Boiled, obsessed with the young cyborg and Oeufcoque, in on their tracks. Will Rune and his companion put their hands on the valuable chip beforce it's too late?

Ahaaaa!

Josh - I didn't notice the "him" part 0_o, its even more hilariously awful than I thought after all. Do they put it through google translate? You would think they'd run it through with a competent English speaker/reader before going to print, the errors make it look like a nicely designed bootleg.
 
I wish Kazé would at least send drafts of their blurbs to someone at MangaUK to look over if they don't have an in-house native speaker.

I hope they speed up the dubbed release of Freezing Vibration and Black Butler!

I hate the VA for GITS Arise. I don't want to watch any of it :( I miss Richard and Crispin and having Mary not as the major is ridiculous. Unless it's truly amazing, I will be that petty and not watch it :p

There's just such a betrayal and WTF-ness about recasting huge characters. Take Chad in Bleach for example, I couldn't care less about the VA change. Apparently they've done it with Kenpachi too, I'll be sad when I finally hear that.

The one success with different VA change so far that I've seen is with FMA Brotherhood. Totally happy with Scar and Greed!
 
New visual on Durarara!!x2, two returning characters from the OVA episode (somewhat prequel to the next arc) and a new character:

So they have Mild, Moderate and Strong as qualifiers for violence (and other stuff presumably), with the option to add in bloody.

But what is injury exactly? I can only assume someone hurts themselves by accident so it can't be classed as violence?

-edit- seems like Eps 1-6 of Another were rated as moderate injury, so I guess I was right (but only moderate injury for Another, really? even the umbrella bit?)
 
Princess and the Pilot on Blu-ray? Hmm... SRP £24.99... Hmm... For a subtitle only film I'm surprised they're asking people to pay the amount that a bilingual release costs.

Overall nothing special with their line up, it's all shounen basically (aside from a few sets that we already knew about (Berserk: Advent & Devil is a Part Timer for instance).

Can't wait for Durarara season 2, glad to see Mairu & Kururi returning.
The other character is Aoba Kuronuma, Ran Izumii's younger brother.

Was WataMote confirmed for blu-ray before? If not, nice to see that it is.

Also, totally forgot MVM are releasing Usagi Drop. Despite the woman sat next to me when they announced it giving me a death glare for shouting "Woo!".
 
Andrew is teasing people again:

I can't comment on the Facebook post but I will nominate LotGH (in some kind of sexy sub-only deluxe BD box, though I hear the JP transfer was not great) as per tradition and, more seriously, Ixion Saga DT (with a cheaper release format) >_>

Wandering Son is a good call from the people posting there. An understated but attractive LE (BD please) could be nice for it.
