MVM Entertainment has been a bit quiet recently in the UK with new license announcements, but they’ve got a new one with the acquisition of Log Horizon. This comes after the recent pickup of the series by Australian distributor Madman Entertainment and it follows the recent release of the series in North America by Sentai Filmworks. MVM Entertainment will be working the same style and format as it will get two releases in the spring of 2015 on both Blu-ray and DVD and will be a bilingual release

Plot concept: Elder Tales has become a global phenomenon, immersing millions of players in its online fantasy world. However, something goes wrong with the twelfth expansion pack. Eight-year veteran Shiroe and 30,000 other players suddenly find themselves trapped in the game’s no-longer-fictional universe!
Except it’s not even exactly the game they knew: things are in different places, the portals don’t work, and if a gamer was playing an avatar who wasn’t a physical match for their real self… well, let’s just say that everyone who’s been playing is going to have to make some serious adjustments to their new world view.
On top of that, the former Non-Player-Characters are now self-aware and working towards their own ends. This collision of the Elder Tale people and players with seemingly impossible skills, abilities, and knowledge promises to be cataclysmic. Get ready for heroes to rise and new legends to be forged as Shiroe and fellow players Naotsugu and Akatsuki discover what happens when sword and sorcery becomes real!
