A Letter To Momo release details. Coming to Blu-ray and DVD on 11th April 2016.
It's been a long time coming but today we're excited to announce the details of our highly anticipated release of A Letter To Momo.
We've made it known for quite some time that would be making the film available on both Blu-ray and DVD, but today we can confirm all the details you've been waiting for. For starters we will be releasing the film as Limited Collector's Edition Blu-ray+DVD set and as a standard DVD on 11th April 2016.
Before going any further if you've not seen the film before here's the synopsis for you: "The last time Momo saw her father, they had a fight. Now all she has left to remember him by is an incomplete letter penned with the words "Dear Momo," but nothing more. Moving with her mother to the remote Japanese island of Shio, Momo soon discovers three Yokai living in her attic, a trio of mischievous spirit creatures that only she can see and who create mayhem in the tiny seaside community as she tries desperately to keep them hidden. But these funny monsters have a serious side and may hold the key to helping Momo discover what her father had been trying to tell her."
So let's take a look at the Limited Collector's Edition Blu-ray/DVD set.
Limited Collector's Edition Blu-ray/DVD out on 11th April 2016
This set will come packed in a rigid case (top centre) and inside that will be a digipack to hold the two discs (1 x Blu-ray + 1 x DVD). Also included is a 36-page booklet (bottom right) that has an interview with the director of the film, production notes and more. And then put around the rigid case will be an o-card (top left.)
On-disc content on both the Blu-ray and DVD discs will include the film with both English language and Japanese (with subtitles) language audio along with extra content on the form of a Making Of... featurette (approx 38 mins long), Japanese trailers for the film and Animation Test Clips.

The Cowards Who Looked to the Sky
Paul Browne reviews a film that mixes cosplay and complications.
If there’s one human trait that can be relied upon, it’s tenacity. It’s an element that runs through Yuki Tanada’s 2012 film The Cowards Who Looked to the Sky, a story that also weaves in themes of poverty, fantasy, maliciousness and altruism. Continue Reading

Anime Limited Podcast #13 - February 2016
"We had bad cake"
Team Anime Limited is back with another Podcast [recorded on 2nd February 2016] as Jeremy, Kat, Andrew, Keith and Kerry take gather in the office studio to discuss recent news including the fact we'll be releasing Psycho-Pass 2, Free -Eternal Summer- and Rage of Bahamut: Genesis in the UK, a packed Q2 release schedule following some release date changes, talk on our upcoming Durarara!! x2 The First Arc: Shou release and more.
Then we bring you a new regular segment to the podcast, The AL Club. The idea of this is simple: we love anime and love talking about it in detail, so that's exactly what we do in the AL Club. We will pick a specific anime, be a title of ours or (as will most likely happen in the near future) we will pick titles that aren't ours (Anime Limited) or perhaps a title that's out-of-print, and we simply talk about it. It's a chance for us unwind and have a good time talking about a particular series. For this first edition of the AL Club we're focusing on one our titles, Space Dandy. But it's not just us talking about the series in general, we also delve into behind-the-scenes tidbits relating to the series.
However it's not all about us talking about a particular anime in the AL Club, we also want your thoughts on Space Dandy as well. Tweet us your thoughts on it using the hashtag #TheALClub on twitter, post your comments on our Facebook page or send your thoughts by email to Jeremy@AllTheAnime.com with the subject "Podcast - AL Club" with your thoughts, and we'll be reading out thoughts we receive on our next Podcast. Also if you have any suggestions for anime you'd like to discuss in future episodes, feel free to throw your suggestions our way.
Oh, and a random note. Towards the end of this inaugural AL Club, Kat got called out to a meeting so she wasn't able to give her thoughts on a favourite episode. So she will be revealing her favourite episode on the next podcast we record.
A fun show as always and we hope you enjoy it. We're going to aim to a record another podcast later this month, so be on the lookout for that.
As always please note this podcast contains strong language and any views expressed by individuals in this podcast do not reflect those of Anime Limited.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts.

We're still working on locking down a new release date for this, we're hoping to have that confirmed for you soon, so please stay tuned for more details.

In addition to this there will also be a Collector's Edition exclusive 40-page booklet that will be divided into three sections: 1) character and background art, 2) a gallery, and perhaps one of the most unique aspects to a booklet we've had in one of our releases 3) an epilogue section to the film. Yes you did read that right, there is actually an epilogue to the film included in this booklet. And finally in the top left of the image above is an o-card that will slide over the top of the rigid case, like what we've done for various releases of ours including Wings of Honneamise and Space Dandy Season 2.
