2005 Anime Preview by Rich (Webmaster)


2004 proved to be the best year for anime in the UK since the halcyon days of the early '90's.  In the space of one year we have seen the amount of domestic anime DVDs available more than double, and whilst ADV Films and MVM slug it out for the title of the most prolific anime distributor, Beez and Manga Entertainment have re-established themselves in the UK market and several other distributors have been releasing anime goodness.

So what does 2005 have in store for us?  Can it top 2004?  Well read on to find out.  We have written sections for several companies who are likely to be active in the UK next year, detailing their activity in 2004 and looking forward to the year ahead.  Please click on the company names below to view!!
