Any Info on Funimations UK releases this year/quarter?

I've seen that Funimation have posted some releases for the US (US Releases) of which I'm excited over a few (Shana S3 kitty ) but I can't seem to find any schedule for when they will be unleashing them to the UK. I've already got Shana series 2 PT1 on order but I can't find anything else on that list for pre order on UK sites at the moment not even Shana series PT2.

Do Funimation even do a release schedule for the UK or is this done through a third party such as MVM or Manga UK?

Sorry if something similar has already been posted but I tried a quick forum search for UK releases and got nothing.

While some of Funimation's releases are region coded for A+B players making them playable in the UK, Funimation does not have UK releases. To my understanding Manga Ent. handles most releases in the UK, although I'm not well versed in which companies do what in the UK.
A good resource would be Anime News Network, they show releases in both region A and B, unfortunately I do not see any information on a UK release for Shana 2. Also google which releases are region A+B, I'm not sure about Shana season 2 but it might be easier for you to simply import the American release if you have a suitable player.

Hope that answered your question.

Re: Any Info on Funimations UK releases this year/quarter?

Thanks for the reply, It sort of confirmed what I thought about it being down to third parties such as Manga Ent. The reason as to why I was asking on here is because a large amount that are released through Manga Ent. are Funimation Dubs and as such I thought perhaps they would post information about when those would be hitting the UK stores (since I assume they license them for resale over here).

I've used Anime News Network in the past but I thought that since Funimation were showing what was incoming in the U.S that perhaps they had something similar for the UK. Guess its back to searching the old fashioned way. Thanks all the same.
