MVM Entertainment’s Q1 2018 Home Video Slate Unveiled

Among the confirmed delays from a while back, a couple more titles are now available for pre-order.

MVM Entertainment over the MCM London Comic Con weekend announced 10 new additions to their catalogue, but while they will take some time to arrive (either late 2018 to sometime in 2019) they do have a fair share of other titles that can be released.

They also have a Bonfire Blu-ray sale planned for Friday 3rd November 2017 so keep an eye on that.

Today, you can now pre-order select titles available on MVM’s Anime-on-Line retailer website. A couple titles have received delays but considering it was the Christmas season where everything is packed full of releases it’s no concern.

The classic series returns to the Blu-ray format. The collector’s edition was known for a while but now a standard edition option is also available. Audio options include English & Japanese with English subtitles.

For those asking about Kizumonogatari, MVM are keen to go after it but it’s a matter of having to wait for Hanabee to release it first. Rumours have been said that both distributors had to wait until Aniplex of America have released their sets first before proceeding.
