UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

[Takei Daloui]

Will pick up Penguindrum & already have Ascendance pre-ordered from last year's Christmas Early Birds.



Most of which won't be released until the following December.

I mean... you're not wrong.
Still waiting on Tower of God at the moment from then.

Yes, I'm still waiting on Tower of God UE, Nadia UE, and Acendance of a Bookworm CE, all from last year's Holiday pre-orders. These have all been delayed four or five times now, into October for Nadia. I've been predicting all along that we'll still be able to pre-order them during this year's Holiday sale, before they are actually released, lol.

Hopefully Crunchy stuff is part of the sale there’s many things I gotta pick up and I keep putting off cos everytime I order a CE from amazon it arrives damaged and usually takes 2-3 returns before I get a non damaged one

 

[Suzu]

Is Penguindrum a retelling of the story or just one of those films where the series is cut up to make a movie?

@Vincentdante Most of the movie is compiling the main plot of the series, along with a few new scenes. Some scenes are shifted around from the series and new stuff/content has been added but at its core it is mostly the same.

Many thanks, I will have a think about it

Does anyone know if the unlimited membership is just for alltheanime titles? Or does it apply to everything on the site? I.e an item that is not alltheanime?

All items except for ones that are in a Buy 1 Get 1 Free deal as they have its own coupon code of sorts.

Thanks for that

During "Back to School" sales will be shipping free for international orders from 100 GBP?

 

[gloomranger]

... SIGH. Once again absolutely NOTHING for me... Also still no A Place Further than the Universe, not looking good.

I wouldn't be too surprised if it's part of their 12 Days of Christmas announcements among other things.

I suspect it would take some deep pockets but it doesn't look like anyone has picked up the UK rights to the Studio Ghibli catalogue since they left Studio Canal and it appears that the new Miyazaki doesn't have a distributor yet either. I'd pay good money for proper extras-filled collector's/ultimate editions of those films.

Probably sounds crazy but if we want a release with actual extras instead of random "tat", it'd probably be best if someone like Criterion picked them up

Undoubtedly true but the US rights aren't available and Criterion don't do UK exclusives.

No on disc extras for G Gundam? What's this?

Includes the Kasshu family photo

...You wonderful crazy bastards.

The listing is all over the place. The EB is stated as closing on August 7th and the on the discs section states it's only 2 discs despite the images and the product description have 4 discs.

Should be the same discs as the Nozomi one but looking at the US specs, the only on-disc extras were Clean OP/ED songs and Commercial Collections.

 

[HellCat]

I really hoped we'd get the G-Files interview from the old BEI DVDs.

For an old hand like me this continues to be a sour spot. I'm not sure why the whole 'Gundam Collection' brand stays active when generally all we eventually get is the shows themselves. I'd love these releases to have decent, notable extras.

 

[lonelywolf23786]

I regret selling my old US DVD sets of G Gundam.

Hopefully the listing has a typo regarding the number of discs

It's 4 discs, the on the discs section is incorrect.

Another Gundam pre-order for me, though I was momentarily confused when I read I had until Thursday 7th August to get my pre-order in...
