UK company Serious Lunch acquires Ghibli's Ronia anime

[NormanicGrav]

Well this is a strange one. A UK company called Serious Lunch have acquired the international rights (excluding Japan and Scandinavia) for Studio Ghibli's and Polygon's Ronia the Robber's Daughter anime.

The company is also apparently seeking English broadcasters and plans to bring the series to potential partners at The Annecy International Animation Film Festival, taking place from June 15 to June 20. Serious Lunch CEO Genevieve Dexter stated that the company has support from UK Trade & Investment to open more animation trade between the UK and Japan. Serious Lunch opened in 2011.

I'm not really sure what to say about it but I would like to see the show so hopefully it'll end up being a positive thing.

She founded CAKE ltd, then sold that in order to found a company called Serious Lunch.

I'm spotting a food theme here...

I wonder if this extends to a physical release? Probably not, I imagine...
