We knew that Patema Inverted had been licensed for a UK release - indeed, we reported on it during Scotland Loves Anime this year - but we now have some more details about this license.

Unsurprisingly, it's Anime Limited who have bagged the rights to the latest work from Time of Eve director Yasuhiro Yoshiura - there's no release date for the film at present, but the distributor have confirmed that they'll be releasing a DVD aand Blu-Ray Collector's Edition, followed in future by a regular edition on both formats.

If you're curious to know more about the film, you should check out our review of its theatrical debut at Scotland Loves Anime.

Here's the press release from the guys (and gals) themselves:

Glasgow, UK November 28, 2013 – Anime Limited are thrilled to announce a limited cinema release of Patema Inverted in the UK.

Patema Inverted is the latest cinematic offering from the talented Yasuhiro Yoshiura, director of the much loved Time of Eve and Pale Cocoon OVA. The film is set in a unique underground world where an adventurous young princess, Patema, sets to explore the ‘danger zone’ – the region where passage has been forbidden by the leaders of the community. As she investigates the ‘danger’, Patema soon discovers just what’s going on right under her feet.

Set for release in Japan in November this year, Anime Limited is very proud to bring this unique and beautiful film to UK anime audiences. Incredibly designed and breathtakingly shot, Patema Inverted is sure to be a hit with audiences.

In addition to the theatrical release of Patema Inverted, Anime Limited will also be releasing the film as a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray and DVD with a regular release of the film on Blu-ray and DVD at a later date.

Andrew Partridge, founder and president of Anime Limited says: ‘We’re very excited to bring the visual and storytelling treat that is Patema Inverted to the UK for theatrical release. Having such a film made available to cinema-goers is what we strive to do here at Anime Limited. Being able to also bring the film to home video allows us to provide UK anime audiences with a full service experience’.
