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.)

~ Speaking of dates, and more specifically for titles to be released this quarter, we have a few date amendments to make you aware of. Some of you likely already noticed this last week with some retailer listings but we can confirm that both Samurai Flamenco Part 1 and Sword Art Online II: Part 2 are now set for release in December. We’ll have more updates on these including the new confirmed dates for both soon.

However in light of the date shift noted above for Sword Art Online II: Part 2, we can now share with you the confirmed designs for both the Limited Collector’s Edition and Standard DVD releases with the visuals below. Please note the BBFC certificate for this title is still TBC at this time.

    Sucks that you've artificially delayed the Prisma Illya standard edition on DVD. I get that you want the BD version to sell, but it's not as if BD owners will go for DVD over BD anyway if the price is right. And right after Christmas too, so given that Royal Mail are usually slow over this period because of the Christmas, you'd have to wonder if people will even get this release before 2016.
