Regarding the Aria the Avvenire situation, it's possible that the licensing terms have changed since the Rightstuf release. Back then it made sense to bundle Avvenire with Origination, but it has now become the first installment of the Avvenire/Crepuscolo/Benedizione trilogy. It's a shame that...

My opinion on the issue is that people keep asking about Hibike! Season 2 and March comes in like a Lion Season 2 all the time, to a lesser extent than series such as Amanchu! Advance. As someone who would love for all three to be released, I wonder how difficult it would be for them to do all...

With regards to the pacing of Gundam releases, I think that they had struck a nice pace a couple of years ago, it wasn't super fast but there was always another release around the corner and at that pace it seemed that they could realistically get through the whole series in a few more years. It...

If they have to copy the contents of available Japanese releases, it is possible that we might see a Nisemonogatari + Nekomonogatari Black boxset after the Bakemonogatari rerelease.

I feel we got a reasonably steady stream of releases between 2019 and 2021 (even though most were the low-hanging BBFC'd stuff), but it's dried up in the last few months and there are no new releases in sight. I find this a bit strange though because most of the limited boxsets do sell out...

I was wondering if there's a big reason (other than BBFC fees) why they haven't released 08th MS Team yet. Of the series which haven't been classified before it's probably the most popular, and it's rather short.

I still have the old one because I didn't trust Funi not to go to a standard release directly and I don't even know if I will even try to get any kind of replacement

Meanwhile, Spanish ratings are a tiny print in the back. Personally I think something like the French system (clearly visible symbol on the back) is enough, I think nobody picks up something up to read the synopsis in the back because it has the rating they like lol

I went to see F/sn Heaven's Feel III in the cinema in Paris and I must say the audience reaction was the best part, even though it's a pretty good movie imho

I mean we're all assuming they're being protective of their licence for the last movie but their release of that is long out of print, we've reached a point where we just assume nonsensical reasoning because there is not a single reasonable explanation in sight lol

I have already placed my order to my parent's house in Spain, hope it doesn't get cancelled. The AL storefront blocks orders to certain countries automatically (France, for example), so I'm inclined to think they would have blocked them for any country which is not the UK or Ireland, especially...

Personally I don't mind the packaging, but it is clear there are many people out there who do, and in my experience cardboard sleeves tend to fall apart after a few years if you get the discs out regularly. I guess I'll check the build quality when my set finally arrives. I honestly don't...

I think people might have been more understanding of this issue if they had chosen the proper masters and decided on better packaging in the first place. If it's clear you don't care from the very beginning it is only natural for people to assume negligence when problems arise.

It's not exactly that, it's just that modern (non-american) equipment is capable of handling both PAL and NTSC and when the original material is NTSC sometimes it's just not worth converting to PAL as it requires effort and is potentially problematic.

I was waiting for K-ON to become available on amazon UK to avoid extra processing charges for the VAT but I guess I'll place an order on the German branch just in case

These fees are 15-25€ per parcel where I live, so I guess this means I regrettably have to say goodbye to your website except for big orders of in-stock items. It's very sad to me because in my opinion you're the best around. It was a pleasure.

Yeah the UK discs use the Funi masters. Funnily enough, the French DVD set uses the same collectors packaging so one could theoretically build a UK CE by combining the discs from a UK standard edition Blu and a French DVD set. Another one which has the same packaging but completely different...

If you go on Amazon Japan there seems to be a big market for the French sets, which are sold at three or four times their asking price.

There are four compilation films of the series which are included in the AL boxset. There is the film "Eternity and the auto-memory doll" which is the current Early Bird is essentially an additional story which fits within the series (essentially an extended two-part episode). There is also...

The whole stamp book situation seems a bit weird to me because I pre-ordered the French set from their website, and I received a second set of stamps with the replacement discs. But both sets are identical, so were the plans to have two identical stamp sets from the beginning?
