NEWSWIRE – December 2020 Releases Preview
November 2, 2020 · 2 comments
It’s the start of the month and that means it’s time we give you a preview of what we have in the pipeline for releases coming specifically in December!
Now, before we start, it’s worth noting that this isn’t everything you can expect from us in November – as I’m sure many of you aware, our 12 Days of Christmas sale is coming up fast, and that might just contain some pleasant surprises for you.
Want to know more? You’ll want to keep an eye on our YouTube channel at 7:30PM tomorrow, 3rd November…
One more Additional note before we proceed –
It’s worth highlighting that we’re now at time of the year where traditionally production activities and manufacturing times as a whole are subject to changes due to preparation for the impending festive period. This has had a knock on effect with some products originally due in November – you’ll read about those further below.
With that being said though, here’s what we have heading your way in December.

Are you guys going to release Love Live Sunshine over the rainbow movie in the near future? Mvm still hasnt released the movie of the original series so i ended up importing it from Australia.

Will we be seeing the yearly Christmas sale in December? I don't think the Coronavirus has affected MVM beyond delivery delays so the order packing/social media guy likely is expecting another busy time packing stuff if Anime Limited has said sale.
