Welcome to the Space Show Delayed in UK

Manga Entertainment UK has announced that the UK Release of the Anime Welcome To The Space Show on DVD & Blu-ray has been delayed until 2nd July 2012.

The announcement comes from their official Twitter account after eagle eyed follower Joshawott asked the following question:

@MangaUK I've seen some sites saying Welcome to the Space Show is out on 2nd July. Has it been delayed, or still due out in December?

Shortly after Manga Entertainment UK replied with the following message.

@Joshawott Busted! #WelcomeToTheSpaceShow has been bumped back to 2nd July so we can spend more time on the dub. It's going to be epic. Soz!

Originally Welcome To The Space Show was due for release in the UK on 5th December 2011, however because Manga Entertainment UK want to improve the dub, which is being produced by Michael Sinterniklaas exclusively for the UK, the release of the anime will now be delayed into 2012.

One of those hired guns is a beautiful woman with a vendetta against Gasback. Will she get a shot at revenge? Maybe, if she can get through Gasback’s bodyguard, Wolfwood. And what’s Vash got to do with this mess? Nothing much – except for the fact that he personally set off the entire chain of events two decades ago!
