UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Apparently Crunchyroll got the rights to a new Love Live short and that franchise has essentially lived with AL. To the point where, if I recall correctly, it looked like UK wasn't getting a recent season until AL confirmed they had it.

Really does feel like the days of AL being the home of Sunrise/Bandai in the UK are ending.

That would be very disappointing - there's just so much more from the Sunrise back catalog that I'd love to see released: Zambot 3, Xabungle, Brain Powerd, Daitarn 3, Space Runaway Ideon... while I admit that it's not particularly likely that AL will release them, it's a lot more likely than Crunchyroll doing so

While season 2 is very good and Liz works well as an extension I wouldn't call it a requirement. Liz works really well as a standalone movie.

I have heard that a lot though where possible I do personally prefer to have the most context. When I watched S1 I got through it in a day so I can see myself doing the same again with S2 as I thoroughly enjoy the series.

Thanks for the heads up though!

I got a message that my copy was meant to be delivered this morning...but also that it's sitting in a depot 150 miles away with no sign of it moving. Sure enough it didn't arrive. Royal Fail strikes again (literally and figuratively).

Same for me yesterday as well so likely Monday now I guess.
 
I have a question for someone from Anime Ltd, so it's to you @anime_andrew. But, anyone can answer for that, if that question appeared here, and was answered.
There is a chance for Sound Euphonium Season 2 in UK from you? I'm asking, because it's almost sold out (or it is OOP now) in the USA, so waiting for this means for me - lost (or probably/my last chance) my chance for getting this series. I really want to get it from you, really, but wants to know that you are trying to get it and there is a good chance of it. If it isn't, say so so I can consider whether or not I'm willing to take the risk. Can you do this for me?
 
I started collecting the El Hazard series recently in Collectors Edition format and I was wondering if it's possible to get a UK release of El Hazard The Wanderers aka the TV series just to complete El Hazard collection on home video here?

While I can't speak for them, I've seen answers to this in the past where they've said that it didn't sell very well. It's why pursuing the second season never seemed to happen.

During the Cloud Matsuri 2022: Ask Anime Limited CEO Andrew Partridge, Andrew said that the licensing situation with Sound! Euphonium 2 has been complicated but they think that enough time has passed for it not be complicated anymore so there's a possibility they might license it and they are keeping their fingers crossed.

Time code 38:25 - 38:54
