Seems ADV are launching their Anime Network OD service in the UK. With free-to-watch vids, free vids for registered users and subscription only vids for about £5 a month.

Their initial line up includes Elfen Lied, Lady Death, This Ugly Yet Beautiful World, Azumanga Daioh, and Cromartie High School.

Some "never released in UK" series are there too. I spotted Loki Ragnarok available (subscribers only) as well as things like Comic Party Revolution, etc..

It's an interesting idea, and I wish them the best of luck. Hopefully this can lead the way for more new DVD releases for ADV in the UK.

I dunno the titles offered seem to be exactly the same ones as those offered on the US site, perhaps the UK launch is just to get UK viewers/subscribers.

If it means more way's to watch anime, especially for fans in the uk then I think its a very good idea, plus £4. 95p a month doesn’t sound like much to subscribe.

I thought Funimation owns those titles now, unless ADV still have certain rights to them.

No. FUNimation got all (or most) of the shows ADV licenced after their deal with Sojitz fell through. The titles there are licences that ADV had before they partnered with Sojitz and they retained the right to all of those shows.
