Anime Limited release schedule includes Space Dandy

The Space Dandy science fiction comedy about a dandy guy in space might have only just had its worldwide premiere this weekend just gone, but the huge international effort that saw the latest series from Studio BONES (Fullmetal Alchemist, Soul Eater) and Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Kids on the Slope) premiere in North America's Toonami block before its Tokyo MX debut has really ramped the speed of the international release the series to warp speed. UK Anime retailer has updated its website with the latest confirmed release dates from distributor Anime Limited, which includes complete DVD and Blu-Ray collections for Space Dandy, which are slated for release on 24th November - that's right, an anime that has only just started airing already has a UK release date announced. The standalone DVD release will include 4 artcards, the movie and the Parallel Works, while a separate release of them on blu-ray is being considered.



Another addition to the schedule is the much talked about GURREN LAGANN: GURREN-DEN EDITION, which launches on 2nd June as a blu-ray exclusive collector's edition that retails for a whopping EUR149.99 (although the included extras will make it worth it!). For those of you not willing to spend that much though, regular, barebones DVD and Blu-Ray collections of the critically acclaimed series will be released on 20th October for about half of the price. The Gurren-den Edition will be limited to 2,000 units and will include a 50-page hardback artbook and every extra Anime Limited could get their hands on, including the Nintendo DS OVA (although some extras are still Japan exclusive)




Those are the juiciest of the new updates, but the full confirmed schedule is as follows:



* 10th February 2014: Garden of Words (DVD and Blu-Ray)

* 24th February: Outlaw Star Complete Collection (DVD), Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning (DVD/BD Combi-Pack)

* 24th March: Durarara!!! Complete Set (DVD), Durarara!!! Limited Edition (Blu-Ray)

* 28th April: Nerima Daikon Brothers Complete Collection (DVD)

* 2nd June: Gurren Lagann: Gurren-dan Edition (Blu-ray)

* 20th October 2014: Gurren Lagann Collector's Edition Complete Collection (DVD), Gurren Lagann Complete Collection (Blu-Ray)

* 24th November: Space Dandy Collector's Edition Complete Collection



Anime Limited have also that they will be launching a Kickstarter next week for both the United Kingdom and United States for a title that fell through the cracks. Very interesting! Also, Escaflowne will be receiving an Ultimate Edition in 2014 as well.



Will you be buying any of these?
