Anime Limited acquire Blood Lad anime for UK release

Following on from announcements of Wings on Honneamise and Terror of Resonance (originally known as Terror in Tokyo) earlier in the MCM London Comic Con weekend, distributor Anime Limited aptly chose close to midnight to announce another of their new licenses.

The series in question is Brain's Base's ten episode adaptation of supernatural comedy manga Blood Lad - the company are planning a Collector's Edition release of the series (dependant upon the materials available to them), which should be available for pre-order from the usual online retailers in the third quarter of 2014.  Here's the synopsis from the Anime Limited web site:

Staz is one of the toughest vampires in the demon world. But unlike his ancestors, he finds being a vampire to be a serious pain and prefers to spend his time watching anime and playing video games instead. When a Japanese girl named Fuyumi wanders into his territory, Staz cannot hide his excitement at finally meeting a living human from his favorite culture. Unfortunately, Fuyumi dies after being swallowed by a monster, leaving her bare soul behind. Staz vows to Fuyumi that he will bring her back to life by any bloody means necessary.
