LEONINE generally does not chapters the episodes of their series. With their belief that NTSC and PAL are still a thing, they are evidently stuck in the VHS era, where the FF/RW buttons are your only life jacket.
Don't overthink it. The US/UK sets have 6 discs (if you ignore the 5 dupes for the ADV dub). Five are for the show and one for the two movies, with all of the extras spread across those 6 discs. The German edition uses 7 (with only the historial dub). Four for the show, one for the two movies...
The English discs are not affected as far as we know. The german distributor authored their own discs (and also used AC-3 on all audio tracks for the bonus content 🤦♂️).
Their explanation makes no sense, there's no such thing as television standards (NTSC/PAL) for Blu-Ray discs. So they're just avoiding the problem and putting the complaints under the carpet. In fact this was one of the whole point when HD arrived: get rid of anything NTSC or PAL, those obsolete...
As I have stated all of the discs in the set are scratched in some ways. Their surface are in direct contact to the cardboard below, just like the Evangelion set (and a fair share of german buyers are reporting scratched discs on Leonine FB). Any hard dust below while the disc turn and it will...
No, no. If the high density foam is like the KnK set, I wouldn't be worried. This set is 9 years old and the nobs are still glued like they were on day 1. There's just some marks on each of them due to me removing the discs each time I watched them (you can also see marks on the blogpost I...
Most duplicators have workers which put the discs in by hand for any non-standard packaging (i.e. anything that is not amaray or standard-sized two-plates digipak). The versatility of packaging designs for home video products just makes it impossible to have it fully automated especially since...
It was a worldwide phenomenom. People who did in France were mocked so hard that within a week they all had shut up.
Add to that all those international pre-orders that have to be cancelled one day or another to comply with the contract ;)
Welcome to cringe moments while westerners watch anime in theaters.
Reminds me the most catastrophic and disrespectful projection of an japanese anime movie. People were literally screaming for anything and laughing at dramatic moments. The director happened to be there as well as a guest. It...
Well yes, a distributor is not supposed to ship to location it doesn't have the rights to.
Honestly, I don't see the fuss about other x or y editions, They're all going to be the same content-wise. Only apparent difference is the exterior packaging and disc count (which is higher 33% in central...
The editions are all shared between groups of countries. Lower costs (supposedly :^)). But the discs are most definitely not the same.
Also yeah, they should cancel the international pre-order if they were to comply with the contracts ;)
Nice usage of LD artwork. Although I am very conflicted about the Asuka side of the outer box with "Neon Genesis Evangelion" text put at some random place in the white area.
It's actually how it should always be, distributors are not allowed to ship directly a product to a country they don't...
Only Germany will have a 200€ SRP (it is priced at 185€ on most retail sites). France and Italy already advertised lower prices (about 130€), and so will Spain.
Golden Kamui S2 (@ANIME) (SRP: 29.95€, 29 September)
2 DVDs, 36 pages booklet.
Gotta love DVD-only releases for recent animes in 2021. Based AL.
Neon Genesis Evangelion (DYBEX) (SRP: N/A, End of 2021)
Identical to Dynit set. Selecta Vision boxset should match as well.
Probably both and leaving some exclusive content to the Japanese boxset to limit back import.
On the distributor stand-point, while I can understand skipping WOWOW's Death(True) as it is essentially Death(True)^2 with one added scene, Death mixes footage from the show and the director's cuts...
As much as we all want to have all versions of Death, I doubt we'll ever get the original 1997 version on Blu-Ray.
The original version was released only once outside of Japan, in 2013, as a bonus DVD of the FR DTS movies set.
That happened while Gainax was still managing the rights of NGE, it's...
Having no set of SSY yet, I've ordered the BD version. I'll post pics when it arrives, if that's of any use to you before placing an order.
I will only get it by the end of september unfortunately.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These (KANA) (SRP 19.99€, September)
