UK DVD Release of K-ON Season 2 Put ‘On-Hold’ Until Next Year

Over the past few days i’ve received a fair few e-mails enquiring about the upcoming UK DVD Release of K-ON Season 2, a release which was initally expected to be available next month, so i decided to do some digging.
After some digging around i noticed that several online retailers, including United Publications, Base, Amazon and Anime-On-Line all listed different release dates which led me to believe that the series had been ‘put-on-hold’ until further notice, and it seems like my assumptions were correct.
@Mr_Lolly_Pops Sadly not. We have had to shelve the #KonSeason2 DVD box set until next year. You know Japan & their fear of foreign boxsets!

In turns out that Manga Entertainment UK had to ‘shelve’ this particular release due to the original licensor not wanting a complete series box-set to be released ‘outside’ of Japan at this current time.
As it stands the K-ON Complete Season 2 box set will be aiming for a 2015 release, but in the meantime the current ‘half-season’ sets are available within the UK, both of which we reviewed within the past year. Those wishing for a Blu-ray release of K-ON will also be waiting, as currently Manga Entertainment UK has plans of releasing the series on Blu-ray, however with the season 2 being delayed till next year anything can happen.
Is season 2 being released on blu ray over hear still a possibility??
It’s unlikely that a UK Blu-ray release of K-On! will surface; although ‘Region B’ versions of K-On! do exist as it was released in Australia. Both Season 1 and Season 2 are available on Blu-ray within Australia (which are same Region as UK).
