AnimeVision

MVM Entertainment have announced they're dropping the prices of their anime releases, from a standard £19.99 per volume to £15.99, matching the lower price-point that Revelation Films have been using for a while now. There are no changes planned to box-set prices. The new pricing takes effect from March 1st.

I'm sure the more pessimistic fans will take this as another sign that the sky is falling, but given the cost of importing from the US and the pricing used by Revelation, I doubt MVM had much choice - and cheaper anime in the UK has to be good news for fans. Now get out there and buy something. :) Full press release is below the cut.
