Like other people have said, it's a little hokey in a 90's sense (eg. think of the sillier elements of Evangelion) and tonally inconsistent at times, but I think the positives outweigh the negatives. I wouldn't call it one of my all-time greats, but I like it enough to have picked up the...

Man, some of the shows AL consider ultimate edition worthy are truly wild to me. I mean there's the generally considered joke that was Blood C, although I suspect that might have gotten sales from mega Clamp fans, edgelords and people who appreciate the show for its memetic value. But a £220 rrp...

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll be sticking to just using Rightstuf then. Presumably their duty and tax deposit fee will cover everything

Hi folks, I'm looking to buy some items from Rightstuf during their current (& possibly last) Christmas sale, but I'm kinda discouraged by the price to get them over here ($50 for shipping. $70 for import/tax). I'm thinking of using Shipito instead, but I'm trying to figure out what will get...

As great as that sounds, unless there's been a radical shift in either AL's business strategy, or more likely, the UK fanbase, I'm pretty much resigned to picking up those pre-90's classic titles as US imports. It's honestly a shame that European releases don't include English subtitle options...

When was that question regarding Yuru Camp asked. btw? I would hope the current dubbing work on both the series & movie hints at an eventually physical release, even if it's only in the US

I don't think I know any of Studio Nano's dubbing output? How are they in terms of quality?

Hell yeah, A Place Further Than the Universe. Pre-ordering the hell out of that. Echoing everyone else about hoping Yuru Camp is next

Out of curiosity, as I haven't really been paying much attention Funimation's UK label since they acquired Manga, what's the discrepancy between the number of US vs UK titles they release on blu ray? Obviously, I expect the broad appeal genres such shounen, superhero & isekai to be pretty much...

Yeah, I'd argue there would be no real point of releasing the Patlabor movies without the Manga UK dubs. Even with the more liberal translation, the first two films live and die by those scripts. I'm led to believe, given that the dubs were made during the whole 50hz period, that there would be...

Yeah, unfortunately that's the actual rrp. You can put that squarely on Aniplex's shoulders, not MVM. Hell, it's a steal compared to the US. The original edition was $400, and 12 years on the re-release is still nearly $300.

I have to say for all the hype that's a pretty underwhelming list of titles. I suppose it's to be expected given that AL's license output has diminished over the last five or so years, coupled with there being enough overlap with previous sales, that if I hadn't already picked up a show at...

From the wording of Big West's statement back when the plans to release Macross titles internationally were first announced, I don't think SDF tv or DYRL will likely be seeing a release any time soon. They basically mentioned a cut-off year that would exclude those two. I'm sure attempts will be...

I'm super happy to see Planet With finally getting a release. The show was a darling of anitwitter, but pretty much ignored by the wider fandom. It probably won't be a huge seller, but it's welcome news to the faithful. Unfortunately that does make it's potential release in the UK even less...

I'd ask about Arakawa Under the Bridge, but I suspect that was a title nobody cared about when it was released the first time around

I pre-ordered that Vinland Saga the moment I saw it advertised... which was about two minutes ago. :) Like some people have mentioned, MVM collector sets are basically the same as Sentai's releases, just without any of the chintzy/novelty extras (coins, toys, wall clothes etc), and with...

The air will raise me up to a position of moral higher ground

Begone with your bountiful bosoms! Where's my darkly humorous, thematically ill-conceived disk covers that managed to be both entirely inappropriate, and yet perversely totally on-point at the same time? Those new disks just make Beladonna look like the story of a woman dealing with a giant...

What the hell have they done to those disks? Where are the blow-up doll covers? This entire release is ruined. RUINED!!!

So what's the return situation for the UE sets? Any different than usual? I'm going to take a gamble on it, but if the slipcase or disk issues are as blatant as reports say, I plan on shipping it right back. Does anyone know if the stuttering problem has a chance of being replicated on the UK...
