Great news, but since when was things like Assassination Classroom, Fairy Tail, Attack on Titan and Norogami anime classics? Sure, good shows for the most part, but they are also what I would consider to be relatively new.
Ah well, it'll be nice to have an actual viable alternative to Crunchyroll so I'll probably be subscribing. Hopefully this opens up a way for Funimation to license their series in the UK for home video release - cutting out the middle man to give us better boxsets and get them out more quickly. It would also leave Manga UK and Anime Limited space to focus on other series that might otherwise go unlicensed (like Hyouka, for example...)

The problem is a lot of those series listed are already available to view on either Crunchyroll or Viewster in the UK. Having said that, I'll probably end up subscribing just to see Assassination Classroom, which I don't believe is streaming legally in the UK just yet.

i suppose the biggest pull would be the fact that all the series are both sub and dub so it caters to fans of both
not to mention that with FUNimation Now coming to the UK and that FUNi would also require the UK distribution rights to those shows that some of those series on Cruncyroll and Viewster might not be on those services much longer
depends on how the licencing works

Meeee, honestly FT is one of the only things I watch at the moment. I was kinda surprised that the US release of the combo pack apparently works over here as well though, so I might order that.
Was hoping to get Ajin legally streaming at some point...

DON'T ORDER THE US PACKS
yes the US release works in the UK BUT only up to part 10, parts 11 and onwards are region locked and WILL NOT work on UK players
although if you do want to own part 10 onwards i suggest you import the blu-rays from Australia as they are the same blu-ray region as the UK

Dubs is a major pull for me, I can't wait. I can't really afford to buy everything anymore, so hoping this plugs that hole.

yeah the first 5 US collection sets are fine too but no more after that
but like i said the Australian blu-ray release is the best way to go to be safe for any anime not released in the UK

first question is your player part of your PC or is it a stand alone one?
