Awesome.

Will be buying:

Gundam SEED boxset(s)
Stratos 4 boxset
S-cry-ED boxset [Even if it sucks or whatever, still a boxset]
GunBuster 2 [Most definately!]
FMA movie - Special Edition [Simply because I don't have the movie yet, and it's a special edition]

Might buy:
Haruhi
FLCL
Fantastic Children boxset
Witchblade: 1 - 3 Collection

Also, what is this? Ghost In The Shell: Individual 11
 
Think Witchblade and FLCL for me.

Do you think there'll be more announced as the year goes on, I guess there will be but what about major announcements?

Plus be interesting to see where MVM go with new releases, although I know they still haven;t finished releasing all there stuff yet.

Most of the big announcements are at the London Expo (May) and, occasionally, at AmeCon (August) too. No doubt, all the UK publishers will have some new anime to announce, and like you, I'm also interested in MVM; they release the kind of anime I really love; Berserk, Gungrave and FLCL to name but three great series out in the UK thanks to them.
 
Interesting tactic from MVM to release this Witchblade: 1 - 3 Collection... I don't think I've ever seen a mid-series collection like this?

Thanks Paul. I thought this was the case but wanted to be sure.

As for MVM releases, seems good minds think alike :D. I love both Gungrave and Berserk.

Id add Samurai Champloo aswell, which also has sign-subs yippie!!! and with ability to have them on or off. I wish Manga Ent. would do these, they ruined Karas for me.

Similar to the half sets that Beez do, I think.

Some excellent titles are in this list, From the months May to August, I'll have no money whatsoever due to the purchasing of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Special Editions. I'll also be hoping to get the Bleach Season Box Set, Lupin III: The Secret of Mamo. Possibly Shakugan no Shana, FLCL and the FullMetal Alchemist Special Edition movie.

Strange, BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad isn't on the list, though. ;o
 
One year later after the film and there's a special edition? I don't really see the point in releasing that tbh

Probably be buying...

Bleach Series 1 boxset (mostly because I cannot be bothered to get the seperate ones)
Ghost in the Shell: Individual 11
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya #1 Special Edition (since everyone talks about it, I'm really interested in it. Especially the lush special edition =D)
Shana (Definitley that... but err paul.. where's #1?)
 
Just Lupin for me, though it's an extremely long wait... I hope Manga don't let me down.

I already have the Individual 11 movie and despite it being a compilation of the series it's not in the vein of say Eva's DEath and Rebirth. It feels like a proper full movie and not something that has been chopped up from a TV series. The connection between Motoko and Kuze is highlighted even more in the movie version as well. I'd say it's worth checking out.

I'm still waiting for Mushishi as well. What's happening with that? I've only been able to get as far as volume 3.
 
Being able to own all of Haruhi Suzumiya by August is awesome! I'll definitely be picking up all of that series (even though I've never seen an episode before, I'm sure I'll love it!). Of course, I'll be continuing to collect the awesome Bleach DVDs. Might pick up the FMA movie special edition, but that depends on how "special" it is. It's a great movie, anyway, so I wouldn't mind buying it again. As for FLCL ... I think I will be picking that series up, too! Lupin III movie is a definate, and I might pick up the Ah! My Goddess boxset, too!

Wow, I'm really impressed by that summer line up! :]
 
More Berserk and Ergo Proxy, Haruhi (standard editions though, although I'd recommend the special eds to fans who are more 'hardcore' than myself) and, strangely, Shana. I found the feature film to be surprisingly excellent so I'm really looking forward to the series.
 
For me I will be getting a lot of those (I won't bother listing it; too much trouble :p). Interested in trying FLCL (I wasn't too impressed by the manga but that was mostly due to the art style). Bleach, Haruhi and Shana are the highlights for me.

These are additional (new) solicitations, not an absolute list of the schedule...
 
I couldn't find an online source for the Revelation schedule, but right now I'm holding a spiffy brochure they sent me listing things up to May 2009! I'll update this list with Revelations stuff once I've whacked it all into our database.
