Anime Limited Have acquired both seasons of Aldnoah Zero for uk release
uk is on a roll with license acquisitions this weekend :)
http://www.uk-anime.net/newsitem/Anime_Limited_acquire_Durarara!!_x2_and_Aldnoah_Zero.html
Unintended leak by the looks of it. Anime Limited had said that they're waiting to tomorrow for their other announcement, and the link has been taken down.
