We're already midway into the month of March, and thinks are hotting up in the realms of UK anime - this Wednesday sees A Silent Voice arrive in cinemas across the country (and you can book tickets here), while the week is also no slouch in terms of new home video releases to salivate over.
Let's start out with STUDIOCANAL, who today launch a new pair of Studio Ghibli Blu-ray Steelbooks exclusively via Zavvi, allowing you to pick up both Spirited Away and Laputa: Castle in the Sky in this new presentation. We've taken a look at both of these Steelbooks in video form, and you can find that video over here.
Elsewhere, Eureka Entertainment complements their prior Steelbook release of Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis with a Standard Edition DVD/Blu-ray variant - indeed, we have copies of this release to give away in our latest competition, so don't forget to enter!
Meanwhile, today sees Funimation Entertainment bring us the Mikagura School Suite Complete Series Collection as a DVD/Blu-ray combo pack - you can read our review of the series over here.
Last but not least, Animatsu Entertainment brings us the Triage X Complete Series Collection on DVD and Blu-ray - we're yet to receive review discs for this title so no review as of yet, but hopefully we'll be able to cover it shortly.
In new manga releases, highlights include new volumes of Mysterious Girlfriend X and The Seven Deadly Sins - check out the full list below.
Next week is an oddly machine-oriented one in terms of new anime releases, from the tiny androids of Busou Shinki through to the full-size cyborgs of Ghost in the Shell, and all the way up to the behemoths of Heavy Object. We'll catch you then!
