I've was checking out on Anime News Network to see if _Guilty Crown_ has been
released outside Japan:

<http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=13001>

According to the page above, Madman should have it. But, when I search for it,
I only get 2 episodes from their screening room. When I search eBay, I only
get Japanese imports and nothing from the United States or the UK.

Has _Guilty Crown_ been released at all on DVD, or is it only available
through streaming?

Is Guilty Crown on DVD in the USA, UK, or Australia?


It has been released in the U.S., but I don't think there's any information
available regarding the other two countries.

For the US, the show was [licensed by
Funimation](http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2011/10/01/funimation-
announces-guilty-crown-and-hackquantum).
[Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilty_Crown#Anime) claims that the
anime was planned to be released in 2012, but I'm fairly certain this did not
happen. The release seems to have actually happened in August 2013. It's
currently listed in [Funimation's
store](http://www.funimation.com/shows/guilty-crown/products/dvd-blu-ray) in
two DVD+Bluray combo packs. Other online stores including
[Amazon](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B00CU6WC8K) also carry it.

In the UK, the series was licensed by [Manga
Entertainment](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-10-27/manga-
entertainment-announcements-at-london-mcm-expo-including-wolf-children). It
was listed as "planned for release in April [2013]", but their website still
doesn't list the series in [their list of
titles](http://www.manga.com/titles). As such, it's pretty safe to conclude
that no release has been made yet. Their [Q2 release
schedule](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-02-07/manga-
entertainment-q2-release-schedule) also doesn't mention Guilty crown, so it
may be delayed or cancelled.

For Australia, as you said the licensing organization is Madman Entertainment.
I've looked through [their
website](http://www.madman.com.au/actions/channel.do?method=view), but a
search for "Guilty Crown" only brings up streams of the first 2 episodes. It
is not listed on their [release
schedule](http://www.madman.com.au/actions/catalogue.do?method=schedule&webChannelId=1)
nor on their [full
catalog](http://www.madman.com.au/actions/series.do?method=browse&webChannelId=1).
Also, the only news I could find regarding this was an [announcement that the
series would be
streamed](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-03-05/madman-begins-
streaming-guilty-crown-and-waiting-in-the-summer), but no announcements of
plans for a home release. This suggests that they don't have any plans to do
so, and likely have not bought the rights for a home release.

So, as of now, there is only a home video release in the U.S.. It's still
quite possible that the UK will have releases of the series in the fairly near
future. Australia is less likely to get a release anytime soon.
