NEWS: UK's MVM Ent. Adds 3 The Familiar of Zero Anime Seasons

First up is MVM, who smashed expectations via their Twitter account with a whopping ten new titles:

Btooom!
Campione!
Dusk Maiden of Amnesia
The Familiar of Zero
From the New World
Girls und Panzer
Hakuōki (Season 1 to 3, plus the OVAs)
Ikki Tousen (Seasons 3 and 4)
Infinite Stratos
Senkō no Night Raid

That's right, the Anglerfish team heads to the UK via Girls und Panzer, and we've even got the harem/mech show Infinite Stratos, which is currently in its second season.

Manga UK, who regularly reveal their new acquisitions at MCM, didn't disappoint either. While they didn't license nearly as many shows as MVM, they've certainly snapped up some of the big names.

Dragon Ball GT
Evangelion 3.33: You Can (Not) Redo
Naruto Shippūden: The Lost Tower
Psycho-Pass
Hentai Kamen

Evangelion 3.33 isn't at all surprising considering the previous two releases, but Dragon Ball GT? Man, that is surprising. Ah, what am I saying, I'm sure there are plenty of Dragon Ball fans that'll pick that up regardless of their opinions on that show. Note that Hentai Kamen isn't actually an anime, but it is about a guy who wears underwear on his face, so it gets included.

..........Iiiinteresting!

The thing I draw most from your post mdo7 is that with the exception of Ikki Tousen, everything on MVM's license sheet is a Sentai Filmworks title. You've given me hope that this is a joint licensing agreement and eventually I'll be able to purchase a release of Zero no Tsukaima here in the states! Thank you, I'll be off in my happy little delusion now!

Thanks, glad I could help. Now if somebody can add my info to the current article or post another article and credit me for it.

We only report news on the U.S. site for foreign country pick ups if they are in English and haven't been released in North America. All the other licenses have gotten state-side releases.

There is a UK section of the ANN site where that news was posted.

See here and here

Eh the anime deviates to much to hold my interest into season 4, for God's sake the anime doesn't even have Saito's brother, the real familiar for the 4th void mage, and the sacrificial gandalf in it. Personally Zeros familiar is behind only Rosario Vamp for me for shows that really need a flat out reboot.

Good luck getting that, with the author passed.
