Fans of madcap romantic comedy will be pleased to hear that, following hot on the heels of Tenchi Muyo!, MVM will soon be unleashing the madcap romantic comedy Love Hina on the UK market.

MVM have announced two major new titles as part of their distribution deal with US licensor FUNimation. Fans were pleased and surprised at the confirmation of the 102 episode romantic comedy Kodomo no Omocha (aka. Kodacha or Childs Toy) and the pretty new Full Metal Alchemist. Kodacha has been a fan favourite for years but no-one ever expected it to be licensed due to its length, Full Metal Alchemist was still airing in Japan when we went there at the start of the year and looks superb. Look like MVM have done it again with some great deals! Source: AnimeOnDVD.com |
