Manga UK Announcements from Scotland MCM Comic Con 2014

Another weekend; another expo; this time the MCM Comic Con in Scotland and while the event maybe drawing to a close on it’s first day UK Anime Distributor Manga Entertainment revealed some pretty interesting pieces of information during it’s live panel.

For starters the distributor announced that it had acquried the UK distribution rights to Ben-To and Good Luck Girl!, which is known in Japan as Binbogami-ga! Interestingly both of these titles will only be released exclusively on Blu-ray; which means if you don’t own a Blu-ray player, or even a PS3/PS4/Xbox One console, then you won’t be able to watch either of the series. Both Ben-To and Good Luck Girl! will be available in January 2015.

Scotland Loves Animation To Go on Tour Around Scotland This Summer

Anime fans in Scotland will be interested to hear that the Anime Festival Scotland Loves Animation will be going on tour, with it bringing a variety of Anime films to various venues across Scotland.

If you do not live in Scotland, or can’t get up there, then obviously this news will be a bit of a disappointment – but its nice to see Anime films being taken seriously and used in mysterious new ways. Anyway the tour has ‘technically’ already started, as it began on the 18th April 2014, but the first film being shown isn’t until 11th May 2014 so there is still some time to book seats and arrange travel.
