MVM Entertainment To Release Paranoia Agent on Blu-Ray

MVM Entertainment, otherwise known as MVM UK, have recently announced on social media that they will release the 2004 anime series Paranoia Agent on Blu-Ray in the UK.

Paranoia Agent was previously released on DVD in the UK via MVM Entertainment, but the series has since then received a High Definition remaster and, more recently, was made available on Blu-Ray by FUNimation in the United States. As MVM Entertainment currently hold the license to the series they have announced plans to re-release it on Blu-Ray in the near future.
