Industry News: UK Anime Release Schedule for April 2018

Since I've posted a lot about the North American releases I figured it was about time I try and tackle the UK releases. The issue with the UK side is the delays that can occur at any moment, so I'm going to work on providing a monthly list as much as I can.

This April 2018 release slate for the UK features Fate/Grand Order -First Order-, My Hero Academia Season 2 and Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You on Blu-ray!

Much like the US industry news posts, the UK one will be laid out similarly. Formats, regions, extras and also artwork will be shown when available.
