Blue Exorcist, Panty & Stocking and Madoka Magica were predictable as hell.

I got volume 1 of Aniplex USA's release, so unless MangaUK offer up some fancy limited editions as well...I'll stick with Aniplex.

EDIT: MangaUK have said Panty & Stocking is DVD only, due to no foreign entities being allowed to have it on DVD. Also, AniplexUSA exports means Madoka Magica on blu-ray isn't viable.

Baka & Test is DVD only (fair enough I suppose...)

Well, they've cocked up again. At least AniplexUSA are apparently expecting a Blue Exorcist dub in the future, so could see a rerelease. Will be out in 2 sets - part 1 due out on 20th August.

I already have absolutely everything on that list (some only partway of course) other than Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt :s

I eagerly await news of release strategies that will stun and impress me.

Interesting nugget from the source Twitter, "Aniplex USA Blu-Ray exports of Madoka Magica means it is most likely not viable for a UK Blu-Ray release". Looks more than likely than ever that it is Manga UK and friends and their complaining to Aniplex that has blocked exports of the special editions. Classy. So basically people over here are forced to go with a version with no English translation or DVD-only?

Manga want to release Beelzebub, but they believe it's either licensed by Kazé or MVM! World God Only Knows licensed too; DVD only.

SQUID GIRL LICENSED! **** YES! Shame it's DVD only too.

I already imported The World God Only Knows from the US (on blu-ray), but I am so glad to see it licensed. Now I'm not sure on if I want the US Squid Girl blu-ray, or MangaUK's DVD.

D'awww common. All those 12(ish) episode series are perfect for one-shot Blu-Ray releases. I am highly disappointed in MangaUK this day... Guess it is imports for me (despite not wanting Funi's goddamn double packs).

What I'll probably do, is import the Squid Girl blu-ray for me, but pick up the MangaUK DVD for my little brother...as knowing him, if he uses my Blu-ray he'll break it.

TGWOK, Squid Girl, Panty and Stocking and Madoka?

Excellent.

Could be tempted by Blue Exorcist or Okami.

It is a shame that manga were a bit slow on these shows. Just ordered Okami yesterday.Would have brought it from manga if I had known. Got TWOGK already. Got Baka Test. Got the fullmetal alchemist movies. Got Clannad. Still it is great to see just how different all these shows are. Great range of different themes. Hope these sell well for them.
