UK licensing company. (Redfoxoffire - this seems to be causing a fair bit of confusion on these threads, so perhaps you could specify in the OP which countries each company licenses for. The only difficult one I can think of is Kazé but given that this thread is I think only for English language stuff, they may as well be counted as UK & Ireland, even though they actually get licenses for various EU countries)

This is for anime licenses, not simulcasts. So I doubt you'll be seeing Crunchyroll on this thread.

The lovely thing about UK companies is that, most of the time, their releases are a lot cheaper than the american releases. For example, the UK edition Blurays of Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine are almost half the price of Funimations release.

I might pick up Chrome Shelled Regios, looks like a decent/good show.

You know why this is the case don't you? Funimation has literally no competition in America, so they can do what they want and charge too much! I've never been a fan of theirs.
I'll be honest, I do like Funimation because they go through the trouble of dubbing a show and I am a person who prefers english dubs (not always), but still their prices are quite high and usually not worth it.
Aniplex USA is even worse though, as far as I've seen.

FUNimation expensive? Maybe their initial releases, but even that is a far cry from the original Japanese releases, which usually cost at least 5x more (with a lot more extras, but still). But FUNimation also does plenty of cheaper releases down the line, most notably in their S.A.V.E. line, where you can pick up a 2-cour series for as little as $15 sometimes.

Even Aniplex, who seem very expensive for a North American licensing company, are pretty good when you compare it to what you'd pay in Japan, and they include plenty of extras.

Japanese prices go from really expensive to just ridiculously overpriced. I am very careful with my money, so that's probably why I said Funimation was expensive, but now that I think about, it's not THAT bad. I did recently buy the S.A.V.E editions of Case Closed Season 3 & 4, so I shouldn't be complaining. Still, UK manages to get things releases for cheaper prices for some reason.

Anyway, I was also planning to buy Rose of Versailles. At first sight I also thought that was a bit too expensive for me, but I've become a huge fan of Osamu Dezaki's works and think it'll be worth the money after all.

Doesn't belong on the top post just yet as we don't actually know what title this is yet, but I thought I would mention it on here given the storm its been creating on twitter/various UK sites.

Anime Limited has acquired the license to a series for BOTH the UK and US markets, and will be launching a kickstarter project (to make it a "worthy" release) in about a week.

It is:
- An older film
- That has never been released before in either the UK or US.

Noitced that Media Blasters had to have lost the rights when it very suddenly got pulled from Crunchyroll. This certainly makes it clear. At least it's on Neon Alley too(Canada would have been left in the cold otherwise. Yeah, Viz needs to start working with Crunchyroll to get subtitled anime to Canada).
