New retail listings at Amazon UK have revealed that Anime Limited (otherwise known as All The Anime) are planning to release Standard Edition Blu-Ray releases of Chaika: The Coffin Princess, Kaiji: Against All Rules, Monthly Girls Nozaki-Kun and The Legend of Hei during September 2024 within the UK.
Interestingly Anime Limited has yet to make a formal announcement about any of these newly listed titles, and what’s even more surprising is that some of these are rescued (re-licensed) titles from past distributors in the UK. Chaika: The Coffin Princess was originally released on Blu-Ray (and DVD) in the UK via Animatsu Entertainment, while Monthly Girls Nozaki-Kun was previously released on Blu-ray (as well as DVD and Collector’s Edition Combo Pack) in the UK; with MVM still selling remaining stock on anime-on-line. The Legend of Hei and Kaiji: Against all Rules [Season 2] are brand new licenses for the UK.

Synopsis: A funny thing happened when Chiyo Sakura worked up the courage to confess her feelings to her high school crush: he thought she was applying for a job as his art assistant! Because, unbeknownst to Chiyo, Nozaki secretly creates manga under a feminine pen name, and he’s badly in need of help! This is certainly not what Chiyo had hoped would happen but, since it’s at least a chance to get to know him better, she accepts.
Then everything goes sideways when her new boss realizes that he can use his “really a girl” assistant to “research” how girls think and what they find romantic! Can an increasingly frustrated Chiyo pretend to be professional while a clueless Nozaki has all her buttons pushed in the right way for the wrong reasons? It happens when producing the MONTHLY GIRLS’ NOZAKI-KUN!

He runs into a group of other spirit creatures who take him under their wing with dreams of reconquering the land they say is rightfully theirs. However, they run into a human known as Wuxian who separates Luo Xiaohei from the other spirits and the two go on a journey, with the cat spirit learning to control his abilities as well as forming his own thoughts on whether or not he should ally with the spirits or the humans.
It’s also worth mentioning that B: The Beginning – Season 2, which was originally expected to be released earlier in the year, is now listed on Amazon UK with a 2nd September 2024 release date. As mentioned, all three titles are currently scheduled for UK release during September 2024, with some available to pre-order on Amazon UK. We expect that additional retail listings will be made available in the coming days, but in the meantime you can see what’s coming out in the near future via our release schedule.
