    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    It does seem they're hinting at doing a B1G1F offer on the Naruto and Bleach standard editions - so a good time to pick those up for people who have remained patient.

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    Arrived yesterday; but one I pre-ordered instantly as I missed out on the individual releases. Haijime no Ippo The Fighting: Complete Collection from MediaOCD. Once again, very impressed with the shipping from MediaOCD; despite being a single item it was shipped in a sturdy cardboard box with...

    Overseas The Discotek Media Thread (plus AnimEigo)

    On the other hand, it's a good thing that Discotek did get Monster, as we can be very hopeful that they'll do a good job upscaling it. As much as I like a nice, shiny collector's edition, I can't help but feel that most of the tat they stuff in them nowadays just isn't worth it (doesn't stop...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    According to their post, they are authoring their own discs, like with Naruto part I. I wasn't a fan of the VIZ upscales for Shippuden (so much so that I stopped collecting the Blu-rays) it's made some of the line work all jagged compared to its SD counterparts. The pre-HD episodes would...

    Anime as a global product

    I think this is true for the somewhat more "hardcore" anime fans, like us who visit forums like this one, and keep up-to-date with the latest anime offerings, news, and releases. However, I think the wider, mainstream anime audience prefer something that is familiar, but in anime-form (e.g...

    Anime as a global product

    I was going to raise this point: some of the most popular anime today are quite "Japanese" in style, such as Demon Slayer. Anime is an incredible soft power for Japan - it's a bit like the English Premier League for the UK, so I feel switching it up would be to its detriment. Like, we all enjoy...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    Ones I've noted myself (as I am/or was interested in buying them) are Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning; which was said to be having a home video release a while back too, I think (?). I ended up importing the AUS release instead. There was also mention back in June of three Hosoda films...

    WARNING Funimation's late 00's early 2010's DVD's are all Getting Disc Rot

    I'm not sure if this is actually disc rot. I've only had one confirmed case of disc 'rot' and it was on a Blu-ray disc that I had purchased second-hand from CEX, which had clearly been stored in less than desirable conditions (i.e., rooms which are damp). The 'rot' looked more like a coffee...

    March Comes In Like a Lion: Volume 4 from Blackwell's. The release of volume 4 has been a bit of a nightmare, some release delays and it not being in stock at various UK retailers on and after the stated release day. Fortunately, Blackwell's had me covered. If others are looking for this...

    Overseas The Discotek Media Thread (plus AnimEigo)

    The next Digimon movie collection was an instant pre order for me. MediaOCD's reward scheme also seems quite generous. Managed to get $9 off 😁

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    From what I can tell, the Digimon TV series has been a big seller for Discotek over in the US. I know the US is a bigger overall market and all, but it would be cool to see them pick up the regular seasons too.
