UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Does anyone know if the early bird preorder price for Komada: A Whiskey Family ends at 5pm today or at midnight? I was going to see what the latest flash deal was before ordering but I don't want to miss the cheaper price.
 
Today's flash deal is Penguin Highway Collectors Edition for £24.99

That was previously ‘last chance to buy’ at £15. So not quite last chance then…

The banner appears to have changed early to CCS (CE) (£59.99) flash sale.
 
I don’t understand these flash sales they just make it an extra pain when you consider postage and everything is much rather have the whole sale available day 1 so I can manage my funds accordingly
Some of these aren’t even really deals they have been cheaper before
The free postage limit being £50 made these (and other sale items) a pain last time, not least because prices being £x.99 mean missing out by a penny, but also because applying the 10% discount could likewise wipe out most of the saving (certainly don’t use the 15% on anything other than a big order!).
I do wonder if it’s causing them slightly more packing costs for multiple ‘medium’ orders than simply allowing people to gather one big order.

But I’ll disagree a little with the “some aren’t really deals” in that most have been similar to the previous ‘sale’ price (notable exception is the hike on penguin highway).
Perhaps we’re expecting the ‘flash deals’ to be more substantial and exciting discounts? But on the flip side, Xmas is the ‘sale event’ so I’d say overall this one is better (price-wise) than I was expecting.
 
Wasnt planning to make a second order but £54 for Cardcaptor CE seems worth it

Already have the US set so was just going to wait for the standard editions to come back in stock but oh well

Still feel the UK CE extras really should have been more like the Illya set - 48 Page Artbook + 4 Clow Cards
 
The authoring house applied dynamic range compression to all the audio tracks to make quieter scenes louder and louder scenes less loud.

While dynamic range compression can be desirable in some situations, such as watching with the TV's built-in speakers or late at night, it shouldn't be forced upon consumers. Consumers can apply dynamic range compression on their own via their TV or AV receiver settings if they desire.
Top tip and I can't remember if I've ever tried this before, but have always have a hard time watching stuff, as usually only have time late at night when everyone is asleep. Not fun scrambling for the remote during those instant transitions of whispering dialogues to bombastic shouting or explosions. Even bought a sound bar thinking that would to help, but to no avail 🤦. Just went into the sound bar's settings and found a compression one which I've swapped from auto to on, let's hope it does a better job next time I do a late night session🤞

Today's Flash Sale is Cardcaptor Sakura CE for £59.99
I’m presuming there should still be a couple more “flash sales” up to the 16th.
But not seeing anything (banner or email) yet today.
In fact, the banner for CCS still links to Penguin Highway - the flash sale from the day before.

I thought there should be, im seeing Tuesday the 16th 5pm ending, so sunday and monday I would assume they had flash sales planned, maybe just sunday and late on it.

Card capture sakura I think went out of stock so I think they just 2nd chanced penguin highway from the previous day.

The flash sale banner is gone entirely now. But Penguin Highway is still available at the same price.
