Welcome to another post focusing on the upcoming home video releases for anime coming to the United Kingdom via distributors like Anime Limited, Manga Entertainment (Funimation UK) and MVM Entertainment.
Much like the Q4 2020 post, this one will be updated from time to time to include any delays on releases as well as new additions to the mix. The Q1 2021 slate focuses on releases from January to March. Any title that gets pushed back into April onwards will be noted under the Coming Soon section below the dates instead.
Each title below will have links when available, I will also try and provide the cheapest option if possible (but sometimes prices can vary). All prices listed below from United Publications (UP1) include postage. Finalised artwork will be presented below when available (with some exceptions).
Everything revealed in the schedule below is up-to-date as of Monday 1st March 2021.
Disclaimer: Amazon links included in this post are affiliated so if you decide to order them, I’ll earn a small percentage if they ship which will help me with any hauls or small bills. Everything else uses the usual regular links.
