UK Anime Distributor MVM Entertainment Discussion Thread

It passed German FSK uncut 16+, so it's kinda likely that it still passes BBFC18
(Yes, Vakyrie Drive Mermaid also passed FSK 16+)
 
Oh wow, quite the line-up!

Will definitely be pre-ordering Wasteful Days of High School Girls and Urusei Yatsura (S3 + S4) as well as the already announced Bubblegum Crisis.

Yet to own Ergo Proxy or Serial Experiments Lain so I will keep an eye on those steelbooks as well.

Yet to own UBW either and nice to see another Aniplex title licensed, even if it's just a re-license, it's starting to look good for the UK again.
I’m certainly glad that Ergo Proxy is getting something better than a standard edition; I imported a few other releases to go alongside my UK one because it’s a little lacking.
And Lain; I’ve also already multiple copies of, but a steelbook sounds nice. I assume it’ll continue to only be the ‘restore’ version - probably exactly the same discs as current.
 
MVM's DOTW is all three seasons of Non Non Biyori for £9.99 each.


I already own the first season and the movie so I'll order S2 and S3 with Monday's EB to get the free delivery.
Mine turned up earlier, and I’ve been letting the cleansing waters (of S2) gently revive my blackened heart.

I want a Komari plush. Or 20.
 
I might pick up those sets, although despite enjoying the original tv series, the delayed ova format has slowly killed my enthusiasm for keeping up with the franchise. The same thing happened with Girls Und Panzer. I feel the approach of focused merchandising of your show in installments over just releasing another tv show might get the most super hardcore fans, but pushes away everyone else.

Also, last week's order just came in & I've just realized I accidentally bought Non Non Biyori Repeat instead of Non-Stop (damn, those confusing titles). So I guess I have both the US & UK versions of S2 now but no S3. Welp. Maybe in a year or so the offer will come back on & I can make the exact same mistake all over again. :oops:
 
I know where you're coming from.
I haven't watched Girls und Panzer 3 yet.
I've got PP 1+2 but not started.
Simply because there's no rush.


Hopefully this link to my favourite self made anime trailer works.
 
It's absolutely ridiculous how long they are taking to release the six Princess Principal OVAs - it's been 4 years just to get 3 OVAs released. I've bought them but I haven't bothered to watch any of them yet. Reminds me a lot of the Dirty Pair Kickstarter... All we've got shipped so far from that in four years was the lighted standees. 😡

Crown Handler was really devastated by COVID and the studio have finished 4/6 so far. But I can’t imagine how making 6 short films over 5+ has been easier than a 13 episode season. It’s the same problem with Chainsaw Man being a mix of tv seasons and movies.

Still I’m glad Sentai/MVM are committed to releasing them overseas.
