News and Announcements from this weekend's london expo.
Info is from UK Anime.Net.
There was no industry panel at the London Expo this time, so UKA has done all the leg work and gotten all the latest information from the big three in the UK. So let’s get started:
Beez
New Releases
Code Geass Season 2
Gundam 00 Season 2
Plans
Anime Legends line of DVD releases being considered bringing older titles back to the UK and releasing older anime that never made it to the UK.
Beez wants to hear from the fans about everything including what Japanese guests to bring over
The Bandai Channel is still going ahead and will be released in the UK, a release date is not final yet though.
MVM
New Releases
Fate/Stay Night (Jan)
Romeo x Juliet (Feb)
Rozen Maiden (Mar)
Geisha vs. Ninjas (live-action) (Apr)
Slayers Revolution and Slayers Evolution-R will being in early 2010
No confirmed release dates
Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit
Pet Shop of Horrors
Mahoromatic: Something More Beautiful (series 2)
Plans
Blu-Ray is being looked into for HD specific series and also any interest in older series
Digital Download is being worked on in partnership with Manga Entertainment where the rights are available
More live-action films will be coming
Manga Entertainment
New Releases
5cm Per Second on DVD/Blu-Ray (Apr/May)
Sherlock Hound – English only, HMV exclusive (1st Feb)

D.Gray-Man starting in Q1 2010
Soul Eater will start streaming in early 2010 with DVD release being currently planned for June/July
Sky Crawlers on DVD/Blu-Ray (May)
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood will hopefully begin streaming as soon as contracts are signed and looking at a June release for DVDs.
Box Sets
Blue Dragon
Claymore
Darker Than Black
Naruto Series 7
Looking at a possible Oshii Collection
Plans
Naruto will finish on series 9 in Apr with the final series consisting of one part
Naruto: Shippuden will be starting in early June, will be uncut and will more than likely be broken up in a similar way to Naruto Unleashed.
The first Naruto: Shippuden film will be released next year with a possibility of second before the end of the year
Manga will be taking part in the 10th Anniversary Naruto celebrations with more details announced later
Bleach Series 4 will be split into three parts. Part 1 & Part 2 will have 2 discs each with Part 3 having 3 discs
There will be a slight delay on Series 4 Part 2 while some manufacturing is sorted with Madman
Series 5 will begin towards the end of the year
Thank you to MVM, Beez and Manga for taking the time to talk to us. Watch out for more as we talk to each company about their latest announcements soon.

Great to get confirmation of that. (I'd read it somewhere but was a rumour) I've held of importing that one with hope that it gets a domestic release.

Already have Rozen Maiden via import, but will be buying the UK RxJ release.

When it gets released will determine whether I wait or not.

New licence! 
Shame I recently gave up hope of a licence over here and imported the new US collection.

Same as usual then. Personally I'd be interesed in Blu-ray anime, but not for anime I already own, within reason. Remastered HD versions of classic anime like Bubblegum would be tempting.

Great to see that it's finally getting a UK release. Any word on if they'll use the Bang Zoom or ADV dub?

Though I'm not interested, it's good that they're skipping the inferior versions and just releasing the 'final' version of the first film.

More titles from Funimation... Not that interested in either.
| Quote: | | Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood will hopefully begin streaming as soon as contracts are signed and looking at a June release for DVDs. |
Yeah, because streaming was only announced six months ago...
So really the big news for me is Fate/Stay Night. If I hadn't broke down and imported, thinking no chance of licence then Rozen Maiden and Mahoromatic SMB would be good too, but as is becoming increasingly common MVM have arrived late. I hope they do well though, they're both good titles.

Very obvious, but welcome none the less.

I'm looking foward to the following...
Beez
Code Geass season 2
MVM
Fate/Stay Night
Romeo x Juliet
Rozen Maiden
Slayers Revolution and Slayers Evolution-R
Mahoromatic: Something More Beautiful (series 2)
Manga
D.Gray-Man
I may or may not pick up Soul Eater, and will probably pick up 5cm Per Second at some point. |

I already have Claymore box on preorder.
The others I am looking at are 5cm, and Darker than Black box.

I predict the Bang Zoom dub. I also predict that the disc will be authored by Madman.

If Beez do want to bring older titles Id personally like to see them maybe bring over Saber Marionette J as it was one series I never got around to importing and rather enjoy what I saw. Also Galaxy Angel, Jubei-chan and Please Teacher would be awesome too
As for the other releases Im happy about pretty much all of them and Im glad I held off importing Fate/Stay Night, Rozen Maiden and Mahoromatic: SMB. In general some cool stuff announced |

Please Twins would be nice too. I haven't got round to seeing that yet. Did Bandai release the OVAs of Stratos 4 in the States? That would be nice. Also another title mentioned on another website is Banner of the Stars...
