UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

How did you receive yours so early 😯 This was the only thing I ordered so nothing should be holding it up. It is starting to become a trend with AL, the last couple of CE Blu-rays I have ordered have missed the scheduled release date with no communication from them :(

Not quite sure myself tbh. I don't really pay attention to AL release dates, as about 9 times out of 10 they can't hit them. As for communication, I think you've got more chance of getting a response from Mars at this point. :p
 
Apparently the 4 Japanese Blu-rays covering the GQuuuuuuX compilation movie and the show are listed as having English subtitles.

I guess with Crunchyroll having killed right stuf, Bandai Namco are retreating from licensing the franchise and returning to their plan from the 2010s of just sticking English subs on domestic Blu-rays.
 
Looks like the Perfect Blue 4K CE will be available from other retailers.
Thos is now available on AoL too, only £6 more than the EB.

The EB is actually £12 less for me at All the Anime, because AtA removes VAT from their listed price, whereas AOL doesn't. I still hope to snag Perfect Blue if it overlaps with the Diebuster EB on the 16th... If it doesn't, I may just skip getting the 4K set altogether, as I already have 4 different releases of Perfect Blue in my collection already, and I still don't have any 4K viewing capability at home yet.

That's odd as AoL definitely remove VAT, you need to be signed into an account with a non UK shipping address for it to show on the website.

Here are screen caps for me both signed out and signed in with my Irish address.

Call of the Night is on its second delay already, just a few weeks after the set was announced. It's gone from 20th Oct to the 27th, and now to 17th Nov. At least the delays are being posted to the online store ahead of the original release date.

A lot of the upcoming ATA releases are pegged for that Nov 17th date too which is interesting...

  • Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken (Collectors and Standard)
  • BLEACH Part 9
  • Call of the Night Season 1 (Collectors and Standard)
  • DAN DA DAN Season 1 (Collectors Alien, Collectors Yokai, Standard, HMV)
  • The Dangers in my Heart Season 1 (Collectors and Standard)
And they have Diebuster (Collectors and Standard) the week before and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (Collectors, Steelbook and Standard) the week after! All seems like a bit much...
 
I'm struggling to find something on alltheanime for 1 or 2p to get free delivery on the perfect blue set preorder🤔. Guess I should just resign myself to viewing my unlimited membership to cover delivery costs rather like the Amazon prime membership model heh.

I haven't tried this yet so not sure it works, but buy a £10 gift card which you can then use on your next order?

There's also I'm Standing on a Million Lives which may as well be cancelled or shifted over to 2026 at this point.

Yep, here we go. I gave up preordering from their store a couple of years ago because of this. I gave them the benefit of the doubt on this occasion seeing as they were only having my money a month or so early (some people don't care about this, and that's great for them, but I do) and then the date gets quietly shifted back. Watch everything else get delayed as well now.

I'll just get Perfect Blue from AOL when it's actually out.
