Didn't see The Heroic Legend of Arslan S2 coming, thought Universal had the license to it like the first season, speaking of that, anyone know if / when Universal are going to release standard Blu-Ray's for Arslan and Seraph of the End, want to get the Collector's Set, but they're pricey a lot of the time.
Also, anyone know if the UK is ever getting a standard Blu-Ray release of My Hero Academia S1, they Collector's Set is gorgeous but the price is something I don't want to pay for, plus the Collector's Set wouldn't match up with the UK S2 releases which are standard Blu-Ray's, but that's just my OCD on that one, a standard, affordable Blu-Ray release of all those series would be great, some of my favourites.

Also, really looking forward to the Princess Principal release, haven't seen it yet but really want to see it, right up my ally, might just wait for the Blu-Ray now.

Looking forward to Scum's Wish, Made in Abyss, Cells at Work! and the Fate releases as well, though still need to catch up on Fate and Cells at Work! and actually watch Made in Abyss but I know I'll love it.

From what I understand, Universal has all but given up on the UK market, which is why the second seasons of Arslan & MHA have gone to other companies. I wouldn't expect them to release standard editions any time soon, if at all, with so much remaining CE stock still existing. I know both shows have briefly gone down to extremely low prices on several sites before (I bought Arslan pt. 1 for £12.99 & MHA for less than £20), but there's no indication if that will happen again. I know the first part of Arslan is at Base.com for £22, & at Zavvi as part of a '2 for £25' detail, but volume 2 hasn't really gone down as far as I can tell. Keep checking the likes of those, Music Magpie or the Amazon marketplace & you may steal a bargain or two.

Thanks, I'll be sure too, heard about the Base.com sale at the moment, would've been the perfect chance to catch up on all the new Dragon Ball releases but I'm short for money atm, sad times.

But didn't have a proper look at the sale because there'd be to much great stuff I'd of wanted, haha.

I'm happy to be finally able to get Made in Abyss and Princess Principal. I did not watch Cells at Work!, and by the time it comes out it may have a dub, so i may hold out until then to see it.

According to animeuknews' release schedule there are stated standard BD releases for both Arslan and Seraph, but take that with a big pinch of salt as, also according to animeuknews, "Release/Licence status of all Universal titles unknown."
