Late last night a rumour went around that Studio Ghibli were closing their production department. Since then a source for the news has been found. Although it doesn’t strictly say the studio are stepping away from making films, it doesn’t really give us too much hope that they won’t either.
MVM Entertainment have today announced a number of release dates to see us through to the end of the year with a number of great anime titles. The release dates and anime being released are as follows with their release formats included where confirmed:
The release formats for Blast of Tempest have yet to be confirmed at the time of writing. It’s certainly a nice line-up of titles to see us through to the new year!
Streaming service Viewster have announced the addition of more Aniplex shows to their anime line-up! The service have today added the following shows:
Servant X Service, Blast of Tempest and Silver Spoon can all be found and streamed on Crunchyroll in the UK. However, this is the first time we’ve had access legally to the first season of Oreimo as Crunchyroll only have the rights to the second season of the show here.
All of the shows mentioned above and a good deal more can be found on Viewster right here
Interesting news appeared this morning as Anime Limited revealed that Kill la Kill and Gurren Lagann are now available to watch on Netflix UK!
All 25 episodes of Kill la Kill have gone up on the service and can be watched subbed. Meanwhile all 27 episodes of Gurren Lagann have gone up on the service and can be watched subbed or dubbed. Both are top class series’ so it’s really nice to see them being added to Netflix. You can read my review of Kill la Kill right here
Overall the range of anime on offer to the UK via Netflix is fairly slim compared to the US offerings, but with Anime Limited seemingly interested in bringing more anime to the service here we should have some fairly interesting times ahead!
