There are R2s in the UK but they are awful and there is a VERY limited selection to choose from as anime isnt very big in the UK. We mostly get Manga Entertainment stuff as they were and still are the main player in the UK industry. The variety in the USA is amazing and alot of people take that for granted... Look at the Shojo titles compared to the UK for example...
I don't think it's that bad in the UK. ADV is fairly strong and we've got big series such as Noir, Rahxephon, FMP, Lain, NGE, Tenchi, .hack, Fruits Basket, Ghibli movies, etc. Sure, we're behind the US but it's no where near as bad as it was back in the early 1990s.
