The HMV website has listed pre-orders for a few titles while aren't officially licensed in the UK, which is curious to say the least. The titles are Sailor Moon, Sherlock Hound, Vampire Knight and Akira on Blu-ray. The DIC dub of Sailor Moon had previously been licensed by MVM, but their license lapsed some time ago (and MVM have publicly stated it wasn't a good seller for them) - there's no indication of which season of the show the HMV page refers to. As for who's releasing them - the listings don't say, but I'd bet on Manga. Vampire Knight was recently announced by Viz Media in the US, and their titles are handled by Manga in the UK. Akira was a former Geneon title in the US by has been released by Manga in the UK in the past. Classed as 'rumour' for now, but potentially good news.
