Scotland Loves Anime 2015 Preview Edition
Scotland Loves Anime begins tomorrow and we are the official sponsor of the event, but that doesn’t stop us bringing you all the latest news direct from Anime Limited HQ. Read on below for all the latest updates.
NEWS/GENERAL UPDATES
~ First of all our Limited Edition Blu-ray of Tokyo Ghoul is available now! You can get the full details on our release HERE.
~ Speaking of our Limited Edition Blu-ray of Tokyo Ghoul, we want to reiterate that all stock is currently in circulation with retailers. So if you’re planning to buy it, it is starting become scarce. Though we will have some units available at MCM London Comic Con, it is sold out on our shop and also appears to be sold out with other retailers as well.
In light of the Limited Edition version already becoming scarce, we can today confirm we are already planning a Standard Edition Blu-ray release of Tokyo Ghoul. So if you’re not able to get hold of the Limited Edition version, fret not as a standard Blu-ray is on the way. We’ll have more details on this soon.
~ Also to reiterate, we will be releasing Tokyo Ghoul on Standard Edition DVD as well. That will be coming out on 26th October. (Only a few weeks away.)
~ In case you missed it earlier today, we announced that we have licensed the series Comet Lucifer. It’s simulcasting at Viewster.com. Read on below in the Simulcast Update section for more details.
~ For those of you planning to come to our MCM Loves Anime event in London that features the World Premiere of Gundam The Origin II: Artesia’s Sorrow, tickets are available for it now! Get the details over at cinema.AllTheAnime.com
In an update on the running times for the films on the day, here is how things will play out:
13:00, Mystery Film #1
15:00, UK Theatrical Premiere of Gundam The Origin I: Blue-Eyed Casval + World Premiere of Gundam The Origin II: Artesia’s Sorrow
17:15, Mystery Film #2
19:30, Mystery Film #3
Please note there has been a small change to the lineup, concerning the representative from Sunrise. Due to time constraints on the day, the originally proposed post-screening panel (after Gundam Origin II) will now be taking place as its own panel at MCM London Comic Con (date/time TBC.) We apologise for the change but this was unavoidable.
We will add that there will be short turnaround time in between each block. This is to allow cleanup time after each screening.
Also, we have been informed that food & drink cannot be brought into the venue. So we are going to be updating the F.A.Q. section of cinema.AllTheAnime.com to reflect this. However there is a café inside the venue where light refreshments will be available. There are course shops outside of the venue as well should you want to step out to get some fresh air.
There is going to be an update on the F.A.Q. section in general next week, so please keep an eye out for that.
~ And now for a few date changes to make you aware of. First of all, Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad has been pushed back, but we’re unable to confirm a new date at this time. This is due to a issue with the masters, hence why we can’t give a new date at this time.
And secondly, Fusé: Memoirs of a Huntress is also going to be pushed back, again we’re not able to confirm a new date at this time. The reason for this is simply that there was a delay in the production of this title.
Our release schedule has been updated accordingly to reflect these.
