the big question for me is Will they be releasing in the UK

Of course they will be releasing over here!

They will be a releasing a statement that contains the words 'unfortunately' and 'rights' at least once.

(To rationalise, it is better to keep one's hopes suppressed in these turbulent times—pre-empting disappointment is a challenging ordeal by itself.)

Sorry man, but people crave competition.

Now it's kinda of puzzling they didn't announce a physical release for Kiznaiver. They've been hyping that up since they got streaming rights, last year. They even got manga and merchandising rights. And even a Re:Zero's (a very popular show as of now) release would've been more sensical than Big Order.

I know, I was wondering about Kiznaiver too.

Yeah I also somehow I just don't see a Western company like CR pulling an Aniplex or Pony Canyon USA and gouging with Japanese market prices for whatever they can land so much as adopting a more routine Funimation style model. A few more batch deals like this and hopefully we can see a swift death put to that complete nonsense and just bury it as a thing of the past or if you will like a bad dream. More choice and affordable options, keep the ball rolling.

I'd be surprised if it's dubbed in Canada considering they never dubbed anything in years.

It's pretty clear (despite a complete lack of English credits) that Funi's dub for Kingdom last year was done in Canada, as there are a number of recognizable Death Note and InuYasha alumni in the cast. Unless all of them moved south? Then I guess it's a reunion dub for Canadian VAs outside of Canada. With internet capable studios now, it's hard to know any more where they actually need to be to work.

I would presume they would have mentioned it if it was the case, but maybe they are going to partner with someone for production/distribution? I think they've worked with Discotek recently?
If not, I'm always wary of a new company entering the physical media market. It's often the case that the first few releases have some issues. Not saying they can't do a good job from the start, or get better, but still I'd be cautious of buying any of their early releases until it gets reviewed at the very least.

Still, hopefully everything goes well, because I want to own more then just the first 49 episodes of Gintama

^ It's possible. Like I said, it's hard to tell where actors are based these days. I thought Brad Swaile and Kirby Morrow were still working out of Canada though. Matt HIll I think is in L.A. So, I dunno.

I knew holding out for the BD of Free! ISC would someday be rewarded. I'm already drooling at the thought of all that blue, blue water in 1080p on my tv. (fan service for me is a little different from normal people's... >.>")

Now my hopes are raised for a release of Rakugo. If CR doesn't care to release it, maybe Sentai will pick up the leftovers. I don't care if it has a dub or not. If there was any justice in the world, it'd get a NISA release, but alas.
