Anime On Demand & Crunchyroll updates, plus Manga UK license Angel Beats

Following on from our "Big streaming Anime update as Crunchyroll & Anime On Demand reveal lots of new titles!" post, Crunchyroll have added another title to their already staked lineup.

* Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi - Season 2, streaming at Crunchyroll, air date: Every Friday from 5.35pm GMT
The series translate into English as World's Greatest First Love'.

"Ritsu Onodera quit working for his father’s company and transferred to work at the publishing company, Marukawa Shoten. To his dismay, he's assigned to edit shojo manga in which he has no interest or experience. He works with a strict boss, Takano, that he has trouble getting along with from the beginning. But, Onodera later discovers that he knows Takano from his past..."
The series started yesterday (October 7th) at Crunchyroll.

*From the Anime On Demand camp, the first episode of Persona 4: The Animation is available to view now HERE.

*Manga Entertainment UK confirmed late this week they have acquired the licensing rights or 'Angel Beats'. ANN describe the plot as being set "In a world after death, angels fight for their fate and their future. Yuri, the leader of the Shinda Sekai Sensen, rebels against the god who destined her to have an unreasonable life. On the otherhand, Tenshi, the chairperson of the student council for the world after death, battles against the SSS members. SSS members utilize armed weaponry to battle it out against the angels harnessing supernatural powers."

Expect more information regarding this release to be made available soon. Perhaps at London Expo later this month!
