Q3 2023 Solicitations for UK Anime Home Video Releases

Welcome to the third quarter of the year release slate, and the second half of 2023 for anime releases in the UK.

The distributors covered in this batch will be from Anime Limited, Crunchyroll UK and MVM Entertainment. This batch will cover all of the releases scheduled for July, August & September 2023. Any delays will be listed under the release date adjustments section above the line-up, which tends to happen.

Each title below will have retailer links when available, and the artwork featured I always provide the finalised version whenever possible (so if a title doesn’t have artwork then what’s shown on other sites isn’t final, though some non-final artwork may be displayed here if the release came out without any updated artwork).

The schedule below is updated as of Sunday 1st October 2023.
