On more assorted news, Beez mentioned the Gundan Unicorn second volume on PSN for the UK, but still didn’t had definite plans for it in DVD / BD forms. Anime Legends is selling strong, with some titles like Wolf’s Rain requiring additional prints. It was also confirmed that Andrew Partridge, Beez face in the UK, will no longer be part of Beez from this coming Monday and will join Kaze. The brigther side of this news is the coming of Kaze to the UK, meaning a new player on the market, with hopefully some interesting stuff up its sleeves.

MVM confirmed that they relicensed several of its’ older shows, such as Trigun, for an extra period to ensure they are still available in the UK.
