    UK Anime Christmas Sales for 2025 [Anime Ltd's 12 Days of Xmas + More]

    The fact this thread is now 33 pages and initial complaints started far earlier than now proves the bolded isn't really true at all. As does this sentence.

    What did you BUY today?

    Maybe a bit less time; Arrow releases often, but not always, come somewhat earlier than scheduled release date.

    To follow on to that, here are Arrow's releases for The Killer, coming 20 April.

    UK Anime Christmas Sales for 2025 [Anime Ltd's 12 Days of Xmas + More]

    Previously I wrote: A bit earlier today I got the shipment notice for order #1 above. Order #2 arrived 29 January. As I'm not in the UK, delivery takes a while and is out of AL's control. The package had gotten wet somewhere along the way and part of the cardboard of the box was...

    Your anime viewing journal

    In counterpart to that, I have only seen the first episode as I don't subscribe to Crunchyroll but they have started putting 1-3 episodes of some shows on youtube as advertising. I absolutely loved that first episode and hope that this gets a blu-ray release. Edit: You might say our opinions...

    Overseas The Discotek Media Thread (plus AnimEigo)

    Since I guess it's been relatively unavailable until MediaOCD got it, people are asking scalper prices for it. A lot of ebay sellers seem to do that when things are still available somewhere, counting on uninformed consumers paying their inflated prices. Not sure if they ship to the UK or if...

    Overseas The Discotek Media Thread (plus AnimEigo)

    It appears that prices will be higher though, as MediaOCD has the Discotek Deep Dive stuff at full suggested retail, which normally no one sells it for. For instance, one of the few of what they have so far that is still listed at Crunchyroll (though with backordered status) is Kimagure Orange...

    UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

    Nothing for me in that slate, but nice to see the announcements nevertheless, and with three (plus an LE) and the previously-announced Dragon Ball Super Broly steelbook, that's 4 (or 5 if you count the LE as a separate thing) which given the size of the US slates lately is probably about the...

    UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

    I am hoping for Crunchyroll UK announcements soon. I don't think the UK stuff is ever listed in their news items on the US site anymore; it either just shows up at MVM or AL's stores, or gets posted on the main site here which I assume is via a press release. AL's latest Crunchyroll listings are...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    Season 1 is 12 episodes, and Season 2 is 13 episodes + the OVA "Twi-Yaba" so it should be easy to tell if this is the case even without identifying the episode contents. That OVA is listed in the menu image above too. I think your theory makes more sense than somehow using S2's titles on S1...

    UK Anime Blu-ray & DVD Bargains

    It's been going on for years, and is one of many reasons I never order blu-rays from Amazon.

    UK Anime Christmas Sales for 2025 [Anime Ltd's 12 Days of Xmas + More]

    My order statuses, both presumably considered larger orders: Order #1, made 1 December, after site was back up but probably before sale prices were fixed as I only ordered Crunchyroll titles using the sale 10% coupon - not yet shipped Order #2, made 2 December, shipped 16 January

    UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

    Yeah I was probably seeing that big clump of plastic from the shrinkwrap. That kind of corner bend is one of the common issues here, because there's little protection from that, and that annoys me quite a bit especially when it's on the spine side as it is here. My copy of this has more than...

    UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

    I'm probably just extra picky, but looks to me like the upper right corner has some damage so while I've seen worse, it's not what I consider unharmed. Otherwise from what I can see in the picture, it's in much better shape than the one I got from them. That's their typical packaging. How well...
