UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Super-excited about Liz & the Bluebird. Despite having the US import, it would definitely be one that I'd want a lovely AL CE of, especially with that lovely artwork from the Japanese CE. Can only hope we can get more Sound Euphonium as others have touched on. And on Yamada's works, if only AL could nick and give their CE treatment to The Heike Story, I shall continue to dream.

I definitely don't need another Eva CE, but loving the minimalist negative-space art design reminiscent of the Japanese versions so am annoyingly tempted...
 
Think it was a good panel, nice mix of informative and fun questions.

Was surprised my one got fielded so early. Kind of an understandable walk back given the 2022 releases didn't pan out, so dropping 'more false promises' isn't a good idea. Guess we just have to wait and see.

Do have to say, the way they keep name dropping Witch From Mercury...feels like that's implying something.

Also really appreciated the COVID response. As someone with a relative in the NHS working with COVID patients I admire AL's responsibility regarding it. Especially when other companies act like the virus doesn't even exist anymore...
 
The one thing that frustrates me about AL is they released Persona 5 standards that had fixed disks and won’t give us that bought the collectors edition a fixed disk as a replacement. It’s only 1 disk that is wrong but I assume they expect us to buy the standard release if we want the fix which is a disgrace

Looks to be the same with Cyber City. The first episode had terrible artifacting and image glitches that I thought it was faulty until it was posted on these forums.
 
For what it's worth, I support the interest shown in Kamen Rider. Feels like ever since the success of SSSS.GRIDMAN Japan has been interested in shepherding toku to the West, both legacy and new bridge projects. Kamen Rider has definitely been getting that push recently in America.

Completely agree, I think it's disgusting when people who have bought the more expensive CE version can't get a replacement disc, especially if you have ordered from AL's own website. Speaking of replacement discs, I still haven't received my replacement Evangelion disc yet. ☹️

It would be nice if a rep from AL could speak out on updates for Persona / Evangelion replacement disks. I know Evangelion has had big issues with them

AL making us earn part 2 of series these days, between Inuyasha and Juju Kaisen 10/10 trend would despair again

(at least Inuyasha got a complete season release)

Jujutsu Kaisen Part 2 is just an approvals timing thing, but it's happening so appreciate the patience :). You'll note there's been no US release of yet either there so the UK is currently ahead of the curve there.

For Inuyasha - it just takes time on older titles like that especially when unreleased in the UK to date but it's not been forgotten there either!

Very best,

Andrew

The "leak" got me hoping it would come sooner rather than later, is all - thanks for the info!

I wouldn't watch it right away either way but it's itching so bad having part 1 and not part 2 lol

Bets still being placed on what the content of the mystery boxs will be? Wondering if all the deals will be available Day one like last year?

Take a look at Norm's xmas sales thread - he makes some very informed guesses on what could possibly be in the boxes based on release dates and what has been in past boxes!

I'm guessing yes, apart from EBs, everything will be available Day 1.
 
I haven't received mine yet, I even applied for the newsletter subscription a week or more ago and it told me I was already signed up. Checking my email, it looks like all my AlltheAnime emails stopped coming in on 9/20, that's the last one I have in my mailbox. What the heck... now I just tried to sign up again, and it took my info like a new subscription. Am I too late to get the discount now?
