Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood OVA Collection Gets Delayed within the UK

Manga Entertainment UK has today confirmed, via its latest Podcast, that the UK release of the upcoming Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood OVA Collection will be delayed due to a technical fault with the subtitles on the Blu-ray Disc.

According to the UK Anime Network, they experienced ‘subtitle issues’ with the Review / Sample Discs and because of this issue it rendered the release ‘impossible’ to watch in its original japanese format. The UK Anime Network  forwarded this information onto Manga Entertainment UK, who repsonded that they would try and fix the issue before its release next monday – however during the Podcast Manga confirmed that the release would have to be ‘pushed back’ until the problem has been sorted.

While the fault is only on the ‘Blu-ray’ Disc of the Collection, the DVD disc, which works perfectly fine, will not be released seperately, meaning that fans will have to wait until the Blu-ray disc has been fixed – before being able to watch any of the OVA Collection.

While some fans may be disappointed with news of the delay, its great to see that this ‘issue’ was picked up before its general release, unlike the Panty & Stocking DVD Collection which featured several seconds worth of footage missing – because of this error Manga had to recall all stock from customers and retailers, before being able to re-release a fixed version of the product.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood – OVA Collection was expected to be released next monday, 15th October 2012, however at this moment in time the release has been pushed back into an ‘unannounced’ release date.
