Received a Email to say Otaku Elf is delayed until the 9th February.

I got an e-mail saying that The Place Promised in Our Early Days (Steelbook) has also been delayed until Feb. 9th.

More delays announced by AL. Much better communication of this than randomly finding out the date has changed on the product page.

Yeah I think we had a discussion about announcements like this in the Discord server. There was some understandable frustration about how the bigger name titles like Bleach were prioritised in terms of communicating delays when it really should apply to all. Good to see them deliver on it.

I thought the delays were due to the Christmas + Pre order shipping backlog? Not production related. Guess it doesn't matter much either way.

I'm pleased and happy to see AL announcing delays and communicating about them. I don't mind delays as long as me and other customers are informed about them.

Nope, these are both unrelated - just hold-ups over the Christmas period more generally with production processes means stock is being delivered later than initially expected on these.

No news on Hathaway, Urdr Hunt or Endless Waltz yet. Plus we didn't get the import edition of the latter US Crunchyroll customers could order.

I have...concerns.

You know that saying that "no news is good news"? Well sometimes no news is good news...

Nothing we can talk about right now, but that doesn't mean that nothing is happening on any of those titles.

Beginning to think that Wolf Childrent is not going to release on 26th January....

Hate being right, but the release date is now 16th February

Looks like the US will be getting Seed Freedom ahead of us despite the movie being rated for home video 9 months ago.

Made 3 orders. One was very early morning on the 2nd. And 0 shipped

Same, still nothing.
They really have been/are slipping.
I know faulty or delayed releases can't (all) be blamed on them, but those have increased as well.

If this is a case where the AL release hasn't been signed off on but they prioritised the US Crunchyroll release, I will be quite annoyed.

Just out of interest, did AL ever comment on why the Great Pretender CE is so big? 4 discs in 4 full size amaray cases seems completely unnecessary and makes the whole set like 40% bigger than it needs to be.

The artwork for the cases was available.
