Anime Limited Confirms UK Blu-Ray Release Plans for Bleach and Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War

It has been quite some time since Anime Limited (otherwise known as All The Anime) announced that they would be releasing Bleach and Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War on Blu-Ray in the UK, in fact it was over a year ago, and while we’ve been teased on what to expect we’ve yet to see any formal release plan. That is until today, as the distributor have revealed their UK release plans for both Bleach and Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War.

The newly published post on the Anime Limited Blog goes into great (and potentially confusing) detail about how they plan to release Bleach and Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War on Blu-Ray in the UK, so we’ve tried to break-it-down so it is more digestible.

Bleach:

Bleach will receive 13 Standard Edition Blu-Ray sets, with each set having an SRP of £49.99.
Parts 1, 6 and 10 will also receive a Collector’s Edition variation, each of which will include an art box that holds 5 sets (this is why the numbers 1 – 5 are listed on the spine of the art box for Part 1).

Collector’s Edition – Part 1:
SRP: £79.99 | English & Japanese Audio | 4th November 2024
Collector’s Edition Part 1 includes an Art Box (holds Parts 1 to 5), 220-Page Art Book & Art Cards
