UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Speaking of nadia, as above
I was thinking of buying the set from cex as my local has it, what was the problem with the disc? And would it be worth holding of buying it from cex and waiting for alltheanime have it on sale?

I believe the issue was that one of the episodes wouldn't play when you selected it - it would play a different episode instead.
 
Got mine still in the cellophane - anyone had a chance to check out the picture / audio quality yet? While the subtitle and booklet errors are inexcusable, I wouldn't say that they're a dealbreaker in their current state - though AL  should be doing better QC.
 
I can live with the mistakes in the booklet, but they should fix them anyway, but the writing on the discs is a real tragedy. We waited for this edition for 2 years, and finally we get something like this and for such a price? I'm starting to be afraid to pre-order and worry about Macross.

In my opinion, they should fix it and send new discs and put much more emphasis on QC. There were no such glaring problems in the old editions.
 
This is why I don't feel bad about pirating certain anime. We all support the anime production industry more than the average consumer and obviously, our finances are not infinite, so we cannot buy every single show that we want physically.

Random people on the internet can create accurate subtitles, sync up every dub and subtitle track known to man for a particular show, and put it out for free in the far corners of the internet (yes, I know certain dubs for certain shows can't be present because of licencing arrangements and such). However, there's no excuse for poor production with the materials professional distributors do have available - especially when customers are paying premium prices to a company that advertise themselves as a luxury and high-quality brand.

I'm due a rewatch of Naruto, so I'll be going through the sets with a fine-tooth comb, because at this rate there is likely to be something wrong with them (if anyone from Anime Limited reads this, I'll send you my bank details so you can pay me).

Anime Limited, hire me to proofread Gundam releases. We all know I'm an insufferable nerd. Let's both actually benefit from it.

I feel like you could have done a 100% better job than whoever QC'd it at Anime Limited :/

Wonder if this is a case of Anime Limited can no longer get hold of material from Crunchyroll (even though they use the sub track for their Bluray release) so they've had to use the old Beez Subs

Questions if we will ever see a new Gundam release from Anime Limited, especially with WfM being a Crunchyroll release
 
I have a question, because I thought today that maybe there were supposed to be two versions of subtitles, but you can't turn them on? Has anyone checked Gundam discs on PC - don't I have a different track to choose from, which can't be selected from the menu?

This sounds about right. A lot of the English language Gundam releases were handled by RightStuf/Nozomi, and it's likely because they got folded into CR, those materials are no longer available.

Gundam Seed Freedom seems like a very good possiblity

Yeah, considering AL handled promotion for theatrical, it's highly likely they'd do home video for it.
 
This is not good enough lads Anime Limited need to understand this release was expensive even by AL standards, the old Blu-ray release from AL had proper subs so I dunno what happened at licensor level but why would they just decide to give a different set of subtitles to the same distro.
If your are charging for a premium product you can’t release something of this quality and go oh oops we’re sorry.
I hope people who bought it send it back for a refund
