Industry News: MCM London Comic Con October 2017 Announcements

MCM Comic Con London returns for the October season, and the new announcement trend from May 2017 continues once again so there isn't much to say sadly. Like last time, I have reported on the latest announcements on behalf of Anime UK News.

Unboxing [UK]: In This Corner of the World - Limited Collector's Edition (Blu-ray)

Manga Animatsu's big contribution to a major anime production since Ghost of the Shell is now available here in the United Kingdom.

Industry News: Sentai Filmworks February 2018 Release Slate

Sentai are offering a rather small slate but two of them are big sets. One of which is a cult favourite from Autumn 2016.

Unboxing [UK]: Ouran High School Host Club - Complete Series: Collector's Edition (Blu-ray)

Thanks to a Zavvi one-day deal I finally got my hands on this anime gem, surprisingly I never managed to watch it before (as it's usually one of the first shows a lot of newcomers take a look at first).

Unboxing [UK]: Beyond the Boundary -I'll Be Here- - Limited Collector's Edition (BD/DVD)

It's been almost a year since I last acquired a Manga Animatsu style product, and this time I have decided to go for the UK limited collector's edition of the Beyond the Boundary movies.

Industry News: Crunchyroll x Funimation January 2018 Release Slate

Crunchyroll and Funimation start the year with more Crunchyroll titles, including the first seasons of Attack on Trains and CLANG! as well as another couple of Sunrise rescues from half a decade ago.

Industry News: Crunchyroll x Funimation Delays Home Video Release for Hybrid×Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia

I figured this news warrants a notice as it's very rare to hear this report from Funimation.

UPDATE: Thanks to the response from ANN, I have tweaked the article to help avoid confusion.

Unboxing [UK]: Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ - Part 1: First Print Edition (Blu-ray)

The third major series in the Gundam franchise has finally been released for the UK for the first time. And just like the previous UK Anime Limited sets, this one also has a box.

Otaku Collection 2017: September Update | Life, Hometown and Monster Girls

September ends up being the delayed sets month for the most part. But nevertheless I have two fanservicey shows arrive in the same month!

Unboxing [UK]: Yakuza Kiwami - Steelbook Launch Edition (PS4)

It's great to see Yakuza come back even bigger for the west after the hiatus it had on localisation due to poor sales on the English releases. As part of its deal with SEGA, Deep Silver will be publishing Yakuza Kiwami for UK and Europe.

Industry News: Sentai Filmworks January 2018 Release Slate

Just a couple days ago Sentai Filmworks announced they will be phasing out DVDs starting 2019 (more info on that in this blogpost) so we have 12 months left for those starting with the January 2018 slate. Bloody hell it's 2018 already.

Unboxing [UK]: Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash - Girls of Paradise Collector's Edition (PS4) [NSFW]

It's summer over at Marvelous Europe despite summer already ending. The latest game in the Senran Kagura series has arrived and it's all about water guns and what not. I've picked up the collector's edition version so here it is.

Also to note, this game is Not Safe For Work because that's how it is.

Industry News: Funimation December 2017 Release Slate

Funimation conclude the end of the year with a few big-hitters and a mix of re-releases.

Unboxing [UK]: The Anthem of the Heart - Zavvi Exclusive Collector's Edition (BD/DVD)

I had been meaning to pick up this film for a long time, originally going to go for the Aniplex version, but I decided to make use of the Unidays student deal and acquire the UK Zavvi Exclusive edition for Anime Limited's release.

Unboxing [US]: Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls - Complete Series: Limited Edition (BD/DVD) [NSFW]

Sentai Filmworks' latest limited edition release has apparently broken pre-order records to the point where it's basically out of print. Never underestimate the power of monster girls.

Due to how Sentai went all out on the series, this unboxing is Not Safe For Work. There's a lot of fanservice with this set.
