As @Hanners said during the panel and here on the forum inuyasha season 2 will be out early 2024.

I am starting to fear that there won't be anything for me in the Christmas Showcase 2023 either... I hope I will be proven wrong, I really really do.
I would say the difference here is that InuYasha's masters were authored wrong on the US release so AL's taking the time to fix that, whilst Bleach and Naruto don't really have much to improve upon (though ideally the Japanese Blu-ray masters would be the better option for Bleach even though it doesn't cover the filler arcs to my knowledges).

Ah yes, two others (and also Shirobako minus the movie) that I have already imported already having assumed they would never arrive here... But yeah, given that history, especially with recent Liz & The Bluebird release, I would have been hopeful too about an AL Heike release.
Whilst I'm really happy they have A Place Further Than The Universe, I am hoping they can get a release put together sooner rather than later seeing as it won't be for Christmas this year as I had hoped
Not getting A Place Further than the Universe this year is a real bummer. I also was hoping to get it this Christmas.Ah yes, two others (and also Shirobako minus the movie) that I have already imported already having assumed they would never arrive here...

Dont worry. It will be early bird on the 12 days of Christmas. Then delayed with an evential release date in November holding your order from shipping nearly a year
(This post was a joke and not meant to be rude towards Anime Limited. They are doing a good job considering how much a mess the Anime Industry has been over the last 3~4 years)
Curious about the November early bird line-up, normally they tone it down a lot to allow folks to save up for the December batch.
My guess is just Great Pretender for this Thursday and then Harmonie the week after and that's it.

Unfortunately, being an international customer of AL, I can no longer pre-order their CE sets because of these astronomical delays. I usually make all my orders during the big sales that have free international shipping over £100, so I have to put 4 or 5 pre-order titles into the order to reach the free shipping. With having to pay up front for the pre-orders and needing to wait to have all the items in stock before the order ships, It's just not feasible for me anymore to go the pre-order route for Collector Editions. I now will be waiting until all the items I want are in stock and then place an order during the following big sale, so my money is not tied up for an entire year.

May double dip on a few of the Sentai licences depending on what the collector's editions look like/contains. Also, I hope Anime Limited use the newer disc masters for the Sentai titles where possible.
But of course someone licensed Shirobako, less then a month after I imported it. I told you this always happens to me.
If Anime Limited is now licensing Sentai titles, please try to get The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. It baffles me to no end why this title hasn't been picked up yet.
I may also double dip on Re:Zero S2 depending on how the set looks.
That will inevitably be released next December.

Same here... at least it saves me buying AL's release I guess.But of course someone licensed Shirobako, less then a month after I imported it. I told you this always happens to me.
AL releasing Sentai titles isn't a new thing however. They've licensed a few here and there like Ajin, Aoharu x Machine-gun and Comet Lucifer (which still hasn't got a release lolmao). Guess they're just giving Sentai more focus now that a lot of CR titles are pretty much untouchable.

UK distributors don't seem to touch josei in general, which is a real shame. Nana would be an especially tough proposition for a UK company on top on that, since getting 50 episodes BBFCed would presumably be pricy and it would probably get an 18 certificate.

I know it's a fairly grown up show but it feels weird that it might end up with the same rating as some films that are full of fairly graphic violence including sexual violence - like, when I was about 10 or so I watched things like Four Weddings and a Funeral and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (albeit Buffy mostly in the versions with TV edits but my mum and dad would have let me watch the uncut versions, the cut version that aired on BBC was just, ya know, right there to watch? I had uncut boxsets of Angel around that age, which has it's moments but mostly is not anywhere near as violent as many 18-rated horror films), my parents were fine with me watching these but likely would have been uncomfortable with me watching something like say Akira and that's a 15... I guess maybe the 18 rating would be for the underage sex work involving one of the male band members which I don't remember being graphic at any point but I understand that there's a certain "possibly a bad influence/imitable behaviour" argument... I get that arguments around age ratings and various different types and visual graphicness of content and whatnot can get quite philosophically complicated... but honestly I prob could have handled watching Nana at the age of 12 or so without getting the idea that hooking up with 20 yr olds at age of 15 or w/e was a great idea, whether money was being exchanged or not. You might have to take my opinion with a lil salt though just in that I do often put dubbed things on and not pay close attention to visuals so maybe there's scenes that are more disturbing that I didn't actually see just hear. Obviously certain things that happen later in the series are grim
Takumi you heartless bastard how dare you force yourself on Nana K!
but the thing I'm thinking of is clearly viewed as bad by the show itself. Also sorry this is a lil off-topic for this thread, but I had an actual opinion that I wanted to share about this lol.
Edit: Somehow put the wrong rating for Akira even tho I am well aware it's a 15 rated film, guess my finger slipped/typo XP

That's a bit of a shame, I'm holding off on watching the series until we get the movies so I can watch it all in one go and in chronological order. Tempted to order Discotek's releases but would rather have AL's releases.

I'm would actually be happy if I could put in a pre-order in this Christmas for delivery whenever next year as at least that way I know they're actively working on it.
That is another great show that I picked up off of @Demelza's worthy high praise in a previous staff favourites' article.If Anime Limited is now licensing Sentai titles, please try to get The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. It baffles me to no end why this title hasn't been picked up yet.
This thread is all a list of all my recent imports heheh. I waited ages for so many of these that I just gave up and forked out to import in case I lost the chance to altogether. Physical media just seems more and more endangered these days sadly...

How would I go about playing Discotek’s releases? Would I need a different blu-ray player?

Most of Discotek's blu-rays are unfortunately region-locked to region A (in the UK we are region B).
I use a softmodded/jailbroken PS3 Slim to play discs from other regions. That's probably the cheapest and easiest way to get a multi-region blu-ray player.
