Anime Limited Confirms Q1 Release Schedule

Anime Limited, or more commonly known as All The Anime, have recently taken to their blog to confirm their Q1 (January to March) release schedule and despite the distributor not having many licenses the schedule actually looks pretty jam-packed.

Anime Limited Clarifies January and February 2015 Release Plans

Anime Limited, along with the newly recruited Jeremy Graves, have today taken to the official website to reveal some interesting pieces of information regarding future Anime Limited releases – and as you’d expect it’s not all good news; although some good news can be expected.

The Bad News:

The bad news is that the upcoming release of Blood Lad, which is being released as a Collectors Edition Blu-ray and Collectors Edition DVD, has been delayed by week and as a result will now be released on the 2nd February 2015. The reason for this delay is due to finalised stock not being received at the suppliers – it’s nothing serious but it does bring disappointment if you were eagerly awaiting its release.

Blood Lad Comes to Netflix within the UK

If you are currently a Netflix subscriber then prepare for some exciting news, as the anime series Blood Lad is now available to stream for all subscribers.

As unveiled yesterday on All The Anime’s Facebook page Blood Lad is just one of many anime series currently being streamed on the service, with more ‘potentially’ to come in the coming months. Blood Lad isn’t the first All The Anime licensed show to appear on Netflix either, as complete series collections for Gurren Lagann and Kill-La-Kill are also available to stream; both of which will be coming to the Blu-ray and DVD very shortly.

Well that is about to change as All The Anime have today taken to their blog to reveal the full Q4 2014 release Schedule and there is a few surprises in-store.

September 2014:

• Gurren Lagann: Ultimate Edition -> SRP £149.99
• Gurren Lagann: DVD Collector’s Edition -> SRP: £49.99
• Gurren Lagann: TV Blu-Ray collection -> SRP £59.99 (changed from £79.99 SRP in exchange for an Amaray box)

October 2014:

It’s worth nothing that all Ultimate and Collectors Edition bundles will receive artbooks and come in a rigid chipboard case (similar to that of Cowboy Bebop / Tiger & Bunny Movie); furthermore the Blood Lad sets will include the OVA Episodes.

It’s nice to see All The Anime starting to push a larger range of releases out onto the market; as other than Kickstarter Campaigns or cinematic releases we haven’t heard much from them. Furhtermore while the ‘release month’ has been confirmed the actual release date for each title (other than Gurren Lagann) has yet to be announced so some waiting is still in order.
