Q1 2025 Solicitations for UK Anime Home Video Releases

Welcome to the first quarter of 2025’s release slate for anime 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 January, February & March of 2025. 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 Saturday 22nd March 2025.

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. International shipping restrictions may apply for select items.
