by Kamila Hussien | Dear anime.org.uk,
Due to unfavourable circumstances and low assurance concerning ticket sales, the majority of the current committee thought postponing the Grave of the Fireflies screening in The UCL Bloomsbury Theatre. It has been postponed to some time next academic year although it is really up to the new committee to decide when exactly it will happen.
We're sorry for any inconvenience caused and we thank you for all the help you've given us. Source: Kamila Hussien |

| New UK TV channel to show anime? | Friday, 10 June 2005 at 17:00
by Lizzie-Chan | According to reports at Digital Spy, there could be an interesting new digital TV channel coming to the UK courtesy of Jetix (formerly Fox Kids). Dubbed "GXT", it is apparently going to be a channel aimed at "12 to 17-year-old boys" with "Japanese animation" said to be a part of the schedule.
GXT is planned to go live in Italy on the 1st of May, with the CEO for Jetix Europe quoted as saying "Once we've seen how successful it is in Italy then we will make a decision as to whether or not to bring it to the UK." More news on this as we hear it, although a little research suggests that the Italian GXT is set to air anime series including Inuyasha, X, GTO and Ranma 1/2. Source: Anime UK News |

| Studio Ghibli Separates from Tokuma Shoten | Saturday, 26 February 2005 at 18:19
by Lizzie-Chan |  In a move to avoid bankruptsy, parent company Tokuma Shoten Publishing has announced plans to establish its world-famous anime division Studio Ghibli as an independent company.
Publishers Tokuma Shoten have been plagued with financial difficulties and rampant debt ever since the death of popular CEO Yasuyoshi Tokuma and have been operating under the supervision of the Mitsui Sumitomo Bank. Studio Ghibli's profits were used to reduce Tokuma Shoten's debt by half, but in the end the decision was made to divide the publishing operations and the anime division (i.e., Studio Ghibli) into two new, independant companies.
The president of newly-established Studio Ghibli, Inc., is expected to be producer Toshio Suzuki. Source: Animaxis.com |
