Welcome to the First Quarter of 2022 UK industry release schedule post for this blog. Like before, this is about covering the latest home video releases for anime coming to the United Kingdom via distributors like Anime Limited, Funimation and MVM Entertainment.
This batch will cover all of the releases scheduled for January 2022 up until March 2022 so if a series or film is scheduled or pushed back to April 2022 onwards, then they’ll be listed under the Coming Soon section 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 include UK VAT, so for non-UK users expect the prices to be a bit cheaper from your perspective. Finalised artwork will be presented below when available (with some exceptions).
The schedule below is up-to-date as of Saturday 2nd April 2022.
Disclaimer: Amazon links included in this post are affiliated so if you decide to order them, I’ll earn a small percentage if they dispatch. They have tweaked the rules this year so direct links will help me a lot more than ordering other products indirectly. Everything else uses the usual regular links. Due to COVID, international shipping restrictions may apply for select items.
