UK Anime Distributor Universal Pictures Discussion Thread

[johnnythm]

Is there any chance of you releasing - So you never thought there was a Girl online or the Grisaia series?

We are still working on our 2017 line up and we haven't announced anything beyond Starmyu, Drifters and Beserk officially yet but I think there is a very good chance that we will be releasing So You Thought There Was Never A Girl Online in the UK in 2017!

Personally, I'd rather you bring us Grisaia. It's a much better series than So You Thought There Was Never A Girl Online.

Can we not have both? Id defiantly buy Netoge and Grisaia

Very OT but Henceforth i would love it if people spoiler tag the names of the shows that they use images and gifs from. I love seeing them but always ends in me having to Google search for the show details online

 

[Joshawott]

I would be over the moon if And you thought there is never a girl online? was released here, maybe even with a Seraph/Arslan-style Collector's Edition?

 

[NormanicGrav]

Well this is awkward, Arslan Part 1 has Short Comedy episodes 1-7, but Part 2 has Short Comedy episodes 5-8. Huh?

 

[blinx01]

Any news on an updated schedule?
Berserk and Drifters are the main two I'm interested in...

 

[mrclt1994]

Arslan S2 news?

 

[bailey1985]

Just noticed on bbfc site that bonus discs for My Hero Academia have been rated and that Universal Pictures UK has been listed as the distributor. MY HERO ACADEMIA - BD BONUS DISC 2 | British Board of Film Classification

Huh. Never would have guessed that.

 

[jonno394]

If it is Universal then that's great. Nice collectors edition ahoy!

 

[Patient-X]

I like the Arslan and Seraph CEs, I just wish the opening was in the side rather than the top.

 

[crashmatt]

Still waiting on news for Netoge as well. Hope we get some more info on the 2017 line-up soon. Drifters is on my purchase list.

 

[Jon O Fun]

Bonus disc TWO! And it's nearly 2 hours long?! Jesus that's a lot of extras!!!!

 

[HWR]

Looks to be a good release, Universal have been great thus far (though I agree that side-opening would be better than top-opening)
Would be interesting to see if anything has developed regarding Berserk 2016 as well (especially since a dub trailer was just unveiled)

Bonus disc TWO! And it's nearly 2 hours long?! Jesus that's a lot of extras!!!!

There's also a bonus disc 3 that's 64 minutes. MY HERO ACADEMIA - BD BONUS DISC 3 | British Board of Film Classification

 

[jonno394]

Loads of content i'll (unfortunately) never watch, just give me an artbook like the previous UP releases and i'll be happy!

 

[NormanicGrav]

Three Blu-ray discs? This is interesting considering I took a look at the US release. They have 2 Blu-ray discs and 3 DVD discs. The extras that are listed on the BBFC are all on Blu-ray disc 2.

Either way, it's time to intensify:

 

[HWR]

If previous UP releases are anything to go by we'll get the best of both (booklet and bonus material)
