UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Any opinions on the Your Name 4K disc? I know it's an upscale but HDR can have a dramatic effect on even a 1080p source.

Definitely getting both Zeta sets as a friend and I are making our way through Gundam The Origin manga and it's amazing. Do I need to watch ZZ as well before Char's Counterattack though?

Yes and no. You'll understand the film rather, but some things will be a big spoiler for you if you watch ZZ later. I'd advise seeing it first. The ZZ series is very good, but the opening episodes - from 3 to 15 (roughly) are rated low by many for their comedic nature. This is not what fans expected after watching Gundam Zeta.

I actually still have this 10% off coupon, once I collect the vinyls I wanted to buy I think I can jump into £100 plus free shipping so I'll save some money anyway.

Just wondering if that's all or is there more to come?

anyone want to make a guess what's in the mystery boxes 🧐
or just buy them and tell me 🙃

These are my rough guess, although I doubt most of them, as I bought previous easter mystery bundles and been pretty disappointed, usually the lower value stuff and films (which end up being cheaper cause they are shorter)

Space dandy, aldnoah S1, plantes, nadeisco, outlaw star

Fuse, samurai champloo, vampire D, el hazard, castlevannia
 
Now it looks like sales are going on for quite a long time. Maybe I'll wait for the start of the pre-order "RADWIMPS - FOREVER DAZE vinyl", then together with this purchase and save on shipping.

I've bought the Future box on a whim so I'll post once it arrives

ZZ doesn't really lay any groundwork for Char's Counterattack that isn't already set up in Zeta, but there are major plot threads in Zeta that only get resolved in the latter half of ZZ, so it's worth watching in its own right. As Hunter_Killer says though, ZZ is very much a show of two halves. The first half has a lot of goofy humour while the latter half feels like a natural progression from the end of Zeta. I enjoyed all of it, but that first half is one of the most divisive things in the franchise.
 
Not a lot in there for me.
Not that I've ever bought much from them. Most of their range is not my cup of tea.

Might try BOGOF with King's Game and Bartender.
BoogiePop Phantom??

I can confirm that Seraph of the End uses the Universal discs. Unfortunately, I'm unable to confirm anything regarding The Heroic Legend of Arslan as I don't have the release.

I have the Universal Seraph of the End boxes, labelled S1 part 1 (2 discs) and S1 part2 (2 discs).
But the AL release of this states that it includes Season 1 and Season 2 (over 4 discs).
I’m assuming it’s just been relabelled (or something), as two seasons sounds more impressive. Or am I missing something here?

I'm going to join the previous replies in recommending you don't skip ZZ. It's not strictly necessary for CCA but it's a good continuation to Zeta and even the lighthearted bits work quite well, it's definitely one of my favourite Gundam shows.

What made you think there would be gundam news to begin with? Was char the man on your shoulder? You should know not to listen to him.

My outside bet is they announce Witch From Mercury s1 at MCM. Beyond that I'm currently expecting zero Gundam this year, not even 0080 which I'm still amazed hasn't been a Christmas release.

They walked back commitment back in December and like I said recently I'm effectively resigned to nothing about the current UK releases of Gundam tallying with what I personally hope for.
 
Wow, I guess I got lucky - I had pre-populated my cart with some CE titles I was considering purchasing during the sale, and every one of them is actually included in the sale. So, I guess I will be buying them all, lol. I've got 5 Collector Editions from the sale and 1 pre-order CE in my cart, and I will be adding the Garden of Words steelbook pre-order next week before placing my order. With VAT removed, the 15% off coupon, and Free International Shipping, the total will be somewhere around £140, if everything in my cart is still available next Thursday when the GoW steelbook goes up. All 5 of the sale items will be double-or-more-dips for me on other region releases I already have; I'm just wanting these for the nicer AL Collector's packaging, of course!

Maybe not so lucky for my wallet, though...

Note- I have no hands on experience with the running of AL as a business. What follows is simply fan/consumer opinion on a possibility.

Let's say indeed we get no Gundam titles this year. I think there's a way to make 0080 into an olive branch release. Work on it so it's ready and waiting to release in time for December. Announce it as part of the 12 Days of Christmas event (say day 2 or 3) and promote it as "We didn't do any big Gundam releases this year but to show goodwill to fans, here's a festive stocking stuffer. 0080, ready for 'immediate' dispatch so if you buy it now you should receive it in time for Christmas."

I know I'm not the only one who keeps asking for more Gundam releases and if they really can't get out a bigger entry this year a gesture like this would show they aren't taking UK fans for granted.
