Interestingly this is another recused license release from Anime Limited, as Elfen Lied was previously released on Blu-Ray in the UK by 101 Films (in both Steelbook (of which we unboxed) and Standard Edition forms) and can still be found at retailers. However, what’s surprising is that this new release from Anime Limited does not mention the inclusion of the OVA (Episode 10.5), an episode which was included in the previous UK Blu-Ray release of the series by 101 Films.
It is possible that Anime Limited forget to mention it on the product listing, as the rest of the on disc content seems to be the same as the previous release by 101 Films (as seen in our review). If the OVA Episode isn’t included, then it would be a big disappointment for fans wanting to own the classic series.
That aside, this standard edition blu-ray release of Elfen Lied from Anime Limited is currently available to pre-order from the AllTheAnime Store and is expected to be released on 9th September 2024 within the UK.
