After a week break today is a what we’re calling double edition edition of the Newswire, bringing you up to speed on all things Anime Limited from the past few weeks. Read on below for all the latest updates.

GENERAL NEWS/NOTES

~ First of all our latest release is the Limited Edition Blu-ray of Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya. It contains all ten episodes of the inaugural season, plus a bonus OVA episode, an art booklet and 4 tarot cards. You can see a full preview of our release with our unboxing HERE.

~ A quick reminder that our Limited Edition Blu-ray of Tokyo Ghoul Season 1 is now officially out-of-print. So if you happen to find it in a retailer we strongly urge to pick it up while you can as there are no more. However, if you missed out on the Limited Edition version don’t forget that we are releasing a standard edition Blu-ray of Season 1 from this coming Monday (16th November.)
